"Shroom-Virgin" seeking advice on spores

Howdy.
After what I believe to be a vast amount of research into growing my own mushrooms, I think I am finally ready to get started. However, as a complete shroom-virgin I am looking for any advice out there as to what spores I should purchase. And whats the best website in the UK to get them from?
I'm looking for the best shroom for the job, that provides a good trip and that can be dryed.
Any advice & insight, or even a simple hello!, would be greatly appreciated!
Ta!

A cube is a cube. They all work....But The whole P.E. family will fuck u up!
All cubes can be dried.
Shop around for the cheapest sponsor and go with them.

I started growing shrooms before I took them, imo it's a good way to go about the process so you aren't fending to try them.
Find your ideal tek and follow it precisely! You'll learn from your mistakes in leaps and bounds.

Hey! If you're going with PF Tek for your first grow, avoid Penis Envy. Its been know to fruit poorly on BRF Cakes. I'd recomend Equidor or Golden Teachers...both are potent and easy to grow on cakes. Be sure to buy your spores from a Shroomery sponsor...otherwise you'll end up with lousy or contaminated syringes.
-------------------- Studying mycology since: August, 2008
A typical monotub grow of a multi-spore rye spawn with some Golden Teachers: inoculated on day one and saw first signs of growth on day 5. On day 17 jars were 15% - 30% colonized so shook em up. On day 25 I mixed the spawn and sub in the monotub and on day 50 harvested the first flush. Just under 4 ounces dry in 1 month 19 days!
One Love!

since I'm so new myself, listen to what everyone on this site has to say. Don't be afraid of people who try to you that have been doing this for quite a while. Sometimes it's easy to forget out roots. Since I have been using this site I might have had 10 jars out of God knows how many that did not take off. Good luck have fun Dirt Out...............

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am pretty sure there are Uk sponsors.
