I Hope This Post Is Appropriate

In about 3 months I'll be leaving the country for a few years, and my position will make it incredibly difficult/risky to acquire .
So...I was thinking about growing my own under raps, within a little inconspicuous garden so no one has to know but me . The only thing is I would somehow have to transport the spores overseas without getting 
I'm guessing a sporeprint would be the easiest method, tucking it in book or something? How long do spores last? Is this too sketch?
What do you guys think?
And I'm pretty new to shroomery so apologies if this post is innapropriate in any way =x
Thanks!

Spores should be legal in most places.

if you go to europe you can get spores from the netherlands at any time by mail ... yes, spores last for years ... even in outer space
The guys at the airport won't be able to tell what mushroom the spores belong to anyways ...
then there was the free spore ring which also ships worldwide i think ...

Bring sclerotia spores with you. That's the easiest and most covert way to go IMO.

This thread was moved from Mushroom Cultivation.
Reason: Spores last a very long time.
This would be better off in security & safety.

I wouldn't recommend growing mushrooms in China. The paranoia would make it not so fun.
You should get into mushroom hunting though, there are some really interesting psilocybin containing species that grow there. Recently some rare Psilocybes that were thought to only occur in Mexico have been documented from China.

imo, unless you're planning on selling, or you trip a LOT, there's really no reason to grow. Just learn the season of the active specie that grow in your area, and hunt them down.
The first time you stumble upon a nice cluster of Gyms you'll be like

Mushroom hunting is tons of fun.

When spring finally comes here I'm finally going out hunting. There's a mushroom club out here and there are some amazing mycologists that're just chill folk.
Also, morels.

Yea man do it; it's a great experience. Every foray I've gone on has taught me a TON. Just keep in mind that many will be there not for actives, but for edibles, hiking, the experience of going, the fun of identifying fungi, etc. There will be kids there. So show respect.
Also, some of those motherfuckers are really good at ID'ing mushrooms. I mean really effing good--they will make you feel like you know NOTHING about mushroom identification. Trusted Identifier good. They carry vials of chemicals to perform tests with, have microscopes at the ready to examine the spores, and can ID most of the specimens with little more than a glance. Hard fucking core.
That being said, most (if not all) of those experienced people have found hundreds of pounds of actives in their life; it's just another species to many of them. I was at a foray once where there was a big-ass cluster of gyms sitting on the table, among dozens of other specimens on paper plates. I was thinking to myself "HOLY %#@&!!!," but they were like like, "Yea those are G.spectabilis," like it was nothing. One guy was like, "Hey can I take a couple of these?" They shrugged and were like, "yea sure, whatever. We're just going to toss them anyway." Then they got all excited about some nasty freaking slime mold because it wasn't in the books and they thought they'd discovered a new species.

Hey again guys. So I finally moved out here! I have some experience hunting, but have never been successful in finding any actives. I'd feel much more comfortable growing my own little kit.
Are there any covert way to ship these sort of things? Do they fly under the radar? Which would be the easiest/cheapest/low key way to do this short of thing? (Spore print, syringe?) Can you recommend any trusted sites?

So mushroom cultivation is "kill you" illegal, and yet you're still posting on the shroomery? I hope you're using a bullet-proof VPN...
Anyway, either print a mushroom that you find yourself (unlikely, as you say), or have someone mail one to you. You can get all cold-war on it and so something like microfilm under the stamp or print hidden in the spine of a book. Disguise it as a birthday care-package with card and everything. Even if the box is turned over, no one should find the print.
How are you going to get dishes and syringes?

Yeah, that was kind of the point... edibles, hiking, exploring Minnesota and meeting mycologists. If I wanted actives I'd just grow. It's been a great summer so far with a shitload of morels.

I work in IT, speciality in information security. I mention that because there are a lot of very talented hackers in China. Some work for the government there, so obviously they are not in any danger. But, I always tell the non-gov't people I talk to from China to never, ever, ever, under any circumstances hack or even probe any targets inside of china. They do NOT fuck around over there. You can wind up dead or imprisoned for lengths of time that even make US drug law sentences look like a walk in the park.
Please don't grow drugs in China. You will probably get the spores in fine, and you probably won't get caught. But, if anything goes wrong you may wind up facing a firing squad in a stadium full of cheering onlookers. Either don't go to China, or just give up drugs for a while. You won't believe how insanely sadistic they will be if you get caught. And how you could even enjoy tripping under such circumstances? There will be plenty of fungus waiting for you when you get back, and not growing it will help make sure you get back. #notworthit
