Reishi spores for sale?

Greetings
I am looking to buy Reishi spore prints but there are virtually none. Can someone point me to a website OR, even better if possible, send me a spore print?

You don't really want spores, you want a tissue culture. Its already been germinated, and a fruiting strain has already been isolated.
Check out the Shroomery Vendors for some great sources.
Happy growing!

Thanks for your input FoxFire. Is tissue culture good for shipping? I am in the far end of Europe (Macedonia). It takes a loong time for stuff to get here. I'm worried the contents might turn out bad.

It should be fine, it is a very hardy fungi, as long as it doesn't freeze solid or get super hot. Do you have any agar skills?

No agar skills. Only spore print to liquid to substrate.
I'll learn as I go. Trial and error paves the way.

There's a user on here named Snakebite, he lives in Macedonia too and grows a lot of reishi. He might be able to help you out
