Free Spore Ring Canada
    #14354932 - 04/26/11 12:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hello Everyone,
I know this topic has been covered on several other posts, but have all ended up filled with Trolls and biter users of FSRC. Having said that I would like to open an honest discussion on the future, not the past, of Free Spore Ring Canada. If your here to troll, go somewhere else. If this thread is in the wrong forum, just let me know and I will move it.

Shdwstr is currently the one in charge of FSRC, but has recently dropped off the Shroomery and is no longer responding to emails sent to his account listed on the website. In combination with that, according to other posts, users of the site have not received prints in almost a year. With the site still up and running and requests still being sent to Shdwstr, I would think it is time for the site to either come down or ownership be transferred over to someone else. If Shdwstr is okay with doing that, the question then becomes, is anyone in a place to take it over?

In no way do I want to bring Shdwstr hate or mean to discredit his service. I simply want to see this really good idea continue to grow so that everyone can enjoy it this fun hobby.

I sent $2 about a month ago and haven't heard back.  I was planning to send a few prints as soon as I got something from them, but nothing yet.

Check these out:

For Actives:
http://fsre.nl/

For Edibles:
http://bemushroomed.com/

Theres also a Free spore ring in Brazil, though I cant find the link for it right now. I hear FSRC couldnt get enough donations to keep running. Though FSRE seems to be going strong. I think that its probably a good idea to support the resources we have rather than create new ones in this case.

I was not aware that FSRE shipped to Canada and Bemushroomed is new to me. Thank you for the info.

FSRE ships all over the world. Ive used them on a few occasions now. Sometimes takes awhile, but they get there.

Bemushroomed is pretty new, only a few months old.

I just did a bunch of reading and registered for both sites. I would have liked to see a service that was in the Canadian postal zone and accepted Canadian money, but the trade off for the well laid out and highly organized ring is worth the extra. I plan to send off my donation along with a print or two of strains they are out of stock right now. As far as Bemushroomed, I currently am not interested as they do not handle actives. Eventually I will move to that as well. Cheers.

Yeah, I emailed shdwstr last year asking if FSRC was still doing it's thing, and he emailed back in the affirmative about a week later. Don't know what's happened since then but it doesn't sound good.

At any rate, FSRE is very well known and respected, and does a great job...which reminds me, I put aside some prints to send to them. I should get on it.

I did the same thing as Afrosheen--emailed FSRC first, got a response that they were up and running. I gave a $15 donation and received nothing. Contacted them no less than 10 times over the next year. Heard back several times that he had received my donation, that he had prints, and that he would get it in the mail ASAP. I got nothing! I started a thread about this sometime last year. Very disappointing, as I really wanted to support a Canadian spore ring. If they aren't sending prints, because they don't have any, this should be indicated on the site. To do anything less is to steal peoples money and cause them inconvenience. It takes but a second to update the site!

Thanks to a couple of generous members on this site that helped me out :smile: with my first prints.
