Return of the Fungus

Hey All.
It's nice to see that this board is still up and running. I used to spend quite some time here some seven or eight years ago. Learned a lot in these boards and eventually got pretty skilled at growing shrooms.
Now I'm contemplating to start growing some again, and figured it would be smart to rejoin the shroomery to get updated.
So right of the bat, I have a few questions:
1, There used to be a few spore-rings, where one could post and get spore-prints sent to you for free. Do these still exist, and if so, does anyone have links to some good rings?
2, I used to grow several varieties, but had great successes with the B+ strain, which was quite popular at the time. Is this still available, or have other (maybe newly discovered) turned out to be better?
3, Also looking to procure one or several humidifiers. Back in my time we generally avoided the sonic ones (they would break and sometimes have issues of contamination) and many/most serious growers used impeller type humidifiers. Is this still the case? If so I would be much obliged if someone can recommend some models that have worked well for them.
4, Did you guys ever manage to find a useful way for "jungle-extraction" of psilocybin?

you can't see the market place until you have been here 90 days Quote:

you can still get b+, but the hot thing these days is "penis envy/albino penis envy"

I use an old style vicks, not the cheap one they have out now Quote:

Oh, ok. So until then, hopefully someone could be so kind to provide me with an alternative link?

Really? That's slightly surprising. I recall PE was a slightly mediocre producer, maybe that changed.

Yeah, that is pretty much what I'm looking for. How are the ultrasonics these days? Have they become more durable?

Nah, there used to be a group of people here that tried to work out a simple ("jungle"-style) way to get pure crystals. But after browsing a little. I see that there are several threads on the issue. Indicating that such a method has not been found.
A few more questions:
5, There used to be trials of different substrates and additives. Some guy reported very good effects by using stevia fibres in the sub. It seemed it made for a faster colonisation and (possibly) stronger shrooms. Has this been confirmed?
6, Also there was a lot of debate on consuming black-currants and vitamin-c prior to taking the shrooms. Many people reported much stronger effects by doing this, but others were sceptical. What is the consensus on this today?

hey there,
in answer to 6: it seems as if the lemon tek makes the onset quicker, the trip more intense, but last less time.
this might be interesting reading for you: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13822874#13822874
with regards PE - seems to be a slow grower but much more potent.
dunno about humidifier's but Shotgun Fruiting Chambers (SGFC) are the bee's knees. get a big tote, put 1/8th" (or 1/4" in some teks, have a look around) holes in all six sides, at 2" intervals. will with 4-5" of wet perlite, and place your babies in there. then mist 3 time per day and fan 5 or 6 times approx 
and regarding stevia fibres, I've never heard them mention in my time here, but I guess a search might yeald better results. as to other additives, the only ones I've heard mentioned regularly with any positivity are gypsum and coffee grounds (beware of contams with this though)
I hope that helps you on your search a bit
