Independent Mushroom Growers network "IMGN" ??

I came across an article about this organization "IMGN" Independent mushroom growers network, that states for a entry fee of $200 you can become a member, which offers a great deal of literature, a magazine subscription which I think is more like a news letter, books, a laminated ID card, a certificate of membership, 200 free spore syringes, spore prints "legal kind", a buyers list for potential clients for your mushroom harvested stock, a tech support team and so on. My question is has anyone heard of this organization and are they legit?

Never heard of it, which isn't saying much, but I would say all in all: no, don't do it.

Exactly. What the hell do you need 200 syringes for. by the time you're halfway through there already so old they probably wont germinate anymore.

Yes Steve Peele is the founder, and I mentioned that there were 200 free spore syringes upon joining "IMGN" That statement was wrong. You get "$200 dollars" worth of free spore syringes of your choice from there catalog. "Non active" Thanks for replies.

Trade List! Don't use incubators. An incubator is for contamination as brothels are for STDs. Sure you get sex, but is it worth it?

Always a pleasure posting questions here. Thanks Albertz for your short to the point Intelligent and mature reply. I found out through further research that IMGN have been around along time and are highly credited among true mycologists and researchers alike.

Yes you get $200 dollars of spore syringes for a entry fee of $200 dollars, yes that's true as funny as that might be doc t. You also get several books, including many from Terrence mckenna worth at least a couple hundred, also a magazine subscription with a portion of rare spore prints with each edition, and so on and so on and so on. I'm not trying to sell this company to anyone but from what I have found out they are quite legit. And in my opinion the membership is worth allot more than $200 dollars. Thanks for every one's replies.

Sounds like a really good group to join if you plan on starting a commercial growing business.

Yes it really does. That's exactly what kind of research help I've been looking for. I hope they are everything they seem to be. True honest people are hard to come buy in today's business community. I owned and ran a pharmacy for ten plus years and am now looking into herbal medicines and growing medicinal and culinary mushrooms to sell at a new shoppe I'm starting. I need all the help I can get!!
