What is the best place to get spores!?

Hey everyone, I would like some feedback on spore purchases, where is the best place for a first time grower to get them? I would like an isolated high yielding strain if possible. And please bodhisatta stay off of my thread this time please. You insulted me in my last one. And I am not an idiot. I know things take time and I am doing this for the right reason and i respect the mushroom. I just need proper guidance from someone experienced because there is a ton of information out there and I want to do things the right way. Any help is appreciated and thanks to you all!

"isolated high yielding strain" "where to get spores" Does not compute.
"And please bodhisatta stay off of my thread this time please." hahaha
Besides all of that, this is NOT the place to ask where to get spores. Check the Shroomery sponsors page.

Go to the sponsors page and check them out. You can find that page by going up to the "Home" at the top left of your screen, then using the drop down menu. Just remember that many spores are not for growing and are for microscopy use only.

Great! Do you have any personal recommendations for me phlanx? From personal experience?

Also, from the rules: 6. Do NOT ask strain questions in cultivation. Ask those silly q's here, 'Strain' in mushrooms is not the same as strain in pot growing, thus we keep 'strain talk' sequestered in it's own dungeon so people won't think it actually matters. 3. Spores are sold for microscopy use only so mycologists can ID mushrooms. If you're going to misuse them to grow a controlled substance, keep it to yourself. Any post which mentions 'such and such' vendor, will be deleted and you'll receive an official warning. Do not plug non sponsors.
The Marketplace is also the incorrect place, and you wont have access to it yet anyway.
You want the sponsor forum: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/18 or the sponsor page: https://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php

Ok, thank you greg! I am still learning the proper terminology and etiquette when it comes to this

No worries, and welcome to Shroomery.
Some things you should know: Strain is really the incorrect term to use when describing a subtype of spores within a species. Better terms are variety or cultivar.
Germinating spores leads to thousands of "strains" of myc, each with individual genetics and traits. To isolate is to continually transfer from those original germinated spores until you have only one strain left. Hence why spores will never be an "isolated strain".
Because of this, mutlispore grows will always be somewhat random. No variety is high yielding or low yielding by nature, you have to put in some agar work to get those exceptional strains. Either by cloning or isolating...
Lastly, Bodhisatta is a pretty well respected member so telling him off wont get you far! No offense, just letting you know...

Thanks Greg. Mad Season: He didn't outright call me dumb, he just dis-respected me and I didn't think there was any call for that and he locked my thread. I logged on this moring hoping to see some valuable tips and information, and evidentaly nobody could see it because of what he did. He just acted poorly in my honest judgment. If i did or said the improper things he could have been nicer or polite about it such as Greg did, very much respectable. And I saw some of his grows, I definitely can respect that. I just don't like to be treated in a condescending manner by anyone. I am just seeking guidance and knowledge. And Greg, also that makes more sense about all of the agar work, but can you correct me if I'm wrong, the spores that come in the syringes, are not all just the one type? Would i be better off getting a spore print of what i would actually like to cultivate?

They are of one "variety", but within a variety is still much genetic variation which affects yield, potency, etc.
Think of it like this; you and your siblings are from the same parents, but you don't look the same do you?
For almost all intents and purposes spore prints and syringes are the same. Prints store longer, so I prefer those.

Get more balls then. It's almost impossible to teach without being condescending. I don't go to university here and have teachers who aren't condescending tbh.
I saw the thread and he closed it because you're incriminating the site. This is a site about knowledge, not money. If you want to sell, go for it, but don't fuckin say you want to sell while asking for advice. The moment you do, shroomery is now a dealer site, and will get shut down. This is literally protecting EVERYONE.

And that is fine Mad Season. I was just trying to conversate or explain the situation, maybe a PM would have been better suitable for me to ask him then. And I appreciate you sharing that with me.

You really need to read the rules.

Technically this is your 2nd offense. If a mod comes in here in a bad mood, you're basically gone anyways. Shroomery is very serious about keeping things legal.

I am so confused Mad Season, is it where I am posting that is not a good idea? We all know what we are all doing on here. I am very unsure of when and how to sugar coat things? I'll go read the rules, but in my honest opinion I have not done or said anything out of the ordinary compared to what I have already read here on the site. Just a personal recommendation about a vendor, but I guess I'll have to bite the bullet when it comes to figuring out where I would like to shop.

It's better to just not say anything about vendors lol. Hit up the strain thread to find what strain you want. It's linked in the rules. Rule #6.

Ok, thank you Mad Season. I apologize for my noobishness, I have been reading on this site for years now but only recently made an account. I just read the guidelines, I will go check up the vendors list some more. I just wished someone could be like "Hey that one right there, those spores look excellent under a microscope!" lol

The problem is nobody knows the answer to that lol. When 2 spores meet they create a new set of genetics. Every genetic is different, just like humans. Every strain variety has the potential to be isolated to find a perfect set of genetics. Just like how every demographic in our population have people born with more desirable traits than others

Great! Thank you both! Id give each of you Max positive ratings if i had hit my 50 post mark yet, but when I do I will be sure to come back and do that!

you disrespected this website, and the vendors by not reading the rules. You didn't do your part. What you did is the best way to fuck over this website, vendors, and the low radar position mushroom growing has. The last thing mushrooms(felonies), this site, and vendors need is bad press. So thanks for taking a little dump on something we all hold close to our hearts.
any vendor is fine. the shit vendors are already well known (Spores101)
you've already mentioned you're growing for money. you should be banned and get no help, if anything people have been too nice.
90% of people with 420 in their name are underage anyway
judging by the fact you need your hand held for the simplest of things there's no way you're going to do anything but waist your own money. Come back when you have the tenacity to do sub-basic research.
