Is it possible to obtain spores from dry mushrooms? I can buy whole magic mushrooms, but I don't trust ordering off the internet.

You could do it, but to do it right you'd probably have to do it on agar -- and that's beyond the abilities of most newbies.
Trade, buy, or check out one of the free spore rings.

Hey now do not scare folks from the idea of using agar , it is where COUSIN IT started and had greaty luck ! Not as hard as most make it sound , just takes some added patience and ability to be clean . Is possible to extract spores , but has high rate of contams , and less chance of germination due to spores have been dried to a point of not being viable . AS FAR AS BUYIBG OFF THE NET Go with vendor used by many Sporeworks is a good company and keeps no records of customers after transactions are completed , that or try getting them for free , just go with folks who have been around for awhile and have good reputation as good traders . Spore rings are another good source . Life is boring with no risks taken from time to time !

yeah I read that you can clone the flesh of a dried mushroom after you rehydrate it in distilled water and hydrogen peroxide so you would get mycelia growth instead on spores from a dried mushroom.You have to use agar to clone it so if a part contams you can cut out the clean parts of mycelium and transfer it to a different agar petri dish or to jars.

forget agar for now. read this, all of it, and it'll answer most of your questions to get you started:
http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/3172
if you never grew before, do lots of reading to try and grasp the basics (spores>mycelium>pins>fruits) the importance of sterility, and the roles of light, humidity, air exchange.
good luck

Listen to shirley, thats great advise!!!
When you think you have a good grasp, you understand it all and you have read enough to write your own book try to understand your wrong and dont know shit. Nothing is better than experience. Give it a try nothing is ever as hard as it looks & nothing is ever easy until you do it.
And don't be scared of the internet. All the vendors that sponsor this site are legit.

You can also actually harvest some of the spores and germinate them on agar , all the time issolating clean strain of myc . Butthe odds of getting viable , clean spores from some street bought mush ...is very slim to none . But I do agree this person needs to do some research first . But my first statement still stands AGAR IS NOT JUST FOR EXPERIENCED PEOPLE , IT WHERE COUSIN IT STARTED AND STILL REMAINS TODAY ! He wishes he could grow exclusivly on agar , no grain , no compost , just nice big flushes grown in large tubs of agar . Contam problems occur most often in these latter stages of development . Getting clean cultures has become the easiest part .

Wow, thanks for all the information. I really hope to get started growing my own mushrooms instead of having to buy street mushrooms, which may not even be magic at all. Also, the reason I don't buy off the internet is that I don't yet have my own credit card.

most of the vendors don't need a credit card and would probably rather you not use one. it keeps things anonymous. i bought from The Hawk's Eye (THE) , besides a trippy as fuck logo, their syringes rock, litterally down to the half cc!!!!!

I'm looking for the cheapest, most effective way of growing my own mushrooms, in my area they are uncommon to find off the streets and don't grow anywhere near me. So, I'm trying to find the quickest, cheapest, and inconspicuous way of growing mushrooms. I have looked over all of the FAQ's on the shroomery and have looked at a variety of sites which feature information on growing and it all looks so complicated and expensive. Any more info you would have would be greatly appreciated.
