That is why we buy and trade cultures,known genetics that produce. Not many gourmet growers use spoess because you'd have to isolate and then fruit to maybe find a strain worth growing. I can't understand why cube growers work off spores so much . Seems they could have much better grows with proven cultures. I assume it has to do with the legality and staying under the radar?

You cant trade live cubensis mycelium, but you can sell cubensis spores. Depending on where you live.

you can trade all the live mycelium you want, although there may be consequences from State led authorities. human agency exists

Thats true, however in the UK if customs opened a package to sealed spores. They should re-seal the package, add a sticker and send it on.
If they opened to a sealed pack of live mycelium. Chances are they will open it and test it.

Doubt it, they wouldn't even know wtf it was so they'd pass it on.
Who the fuck cares about a lil mushroom mycelium and how r they gonna test it?
It's gonna cost em more than they wanna spend to test it. So they'Ll pass it and find a package with some powder they can test or seeds they can take.

I just read recently that back in the day mycologost Dr. Stephen Pollock had a company out of texas that sold live cultures and kits of actives, it is said he was skating on the lines of legality with his quote "20 pages of legal mumbo jumbo"
I just read a really interesting article on him written by Hamilton Morris, he was the guy who first collected P. Tampensis and traveled the country in a winnebago mycology lab and mysteriously murdered in front of his home, the murder was never solved but rumors and a mysterious tape point the finger at the FBI If any of you guys are interested I will link the article, it is chalked full of mycological history and mystery. http://harpers.org/archive/2013/07/blood-spore/ If any of you guys read it I would love to hear what you think.

I can speak only for myself, but i don't grow from spore for any legal reason. -it would take most of the fun out for me growing from a "proven" culture -your culture is maybe proven to be good, but maybe it performs poorly on a specific substrate, maybe a better culture can be found, etc -in brief spores = more possibilities

Spores are fun, but so are commercial cultures that have been developed over years by professional mycologists. From the commercial cultivator to the hobbyist, keeping a single culture for years and years spreading around the globe is a pretty magical notion. Chk, if you haven't done it check out the Aloha culture bank website http://www.alohaculturebank.com/index.html It can give you an idea about the exhaustive research, development, and science that goes on with mushroom strains.

I finally hunted down hardwood pellets!!! I'll be doing a comparison on reishi on coir and hardwood pellets.. Will also finally get this super fast lions mane culture in some bags.. Damn thing fruits in agar before it colonists the whole pasty plate..
Anyone ever eat the small fruits off agar?

Awesome dude That will be a cool comparison. I look forward to seeing your lions mane, sounds like you have a good culture, I have never grown it but I keep hearing that it can be a slow colonizer and grower.

Everytime I do LM it always seems super slow at first and then it seems to instantly colonize 100% overnight.
