(Shroom Virgin) Possible to grow without spores?
    #24369212 - 06/01/17 09:21 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hi guys,

I'm new here and looking to try some shrooms. Obtaining them is out of the question because no one I know sells or know someone that sells shrooms.

I was wondering if it was possible to grow some Cubes just by using woodchips, straw and fertilizer in a tub and presenting the right environment? Obtaining spores is also out of the question since I'm Australian.

I've been going through the boards and archives and found that some people managed to grow in these conditions but was unable to tell whether they grew without using a spore syringe.

Would appreciate any advice.

cheers.

Without spores? No. Your only real option is picking them in the wild, taking spore prints, then going from there. What's the deal with Australia? Spores illegal there?

I dunno, if you set that tub out a couple million times maybe it would happen once if you got lucky :shrug:

But no.
Its like asking if you can grow pot without seeds.



You are going to have to source a spore print from somewhere if you want to grow mushrooms.

Yea spores are illegal :frown:  I guess I may try grabbing any shroom I come across and keep coming here for ID until I get lucky.

Spores of active strains are forbidden in my country aswell. You'll definitely need something illegal to get started (not recommending this, but I guess I can't stop you anyway :laugh:).
Ordering spores is quite hard to detect for police, because they come in standard size letters most of the time which they would probably have to open in order to check whether or not it's content is legal.
Tldr:you'll need spores, obtaining them is illegal in your country in any way afaik. Check the web and you'll find what you're looking for.

Do collect and post them on the hunting and identification board,  wait for the right time and conditions and you can find them, it's really that easy

Just do some reading on the conditions they grow in, get a rough idea on how to identify actives, etc. Then look for a location in your area where you can hunt when the weather is right. Finding specimens in the wild isn't that hard, but yeah definitely get an ID on here before you proceed any further than that. Better safe then sick or dead.

Get over 50 posts and be on here for more than 90 days you can access the marketplace I can garuntee you there's an Australian that will help you out I even know some but I'm not dropping names you will meet em if u stay on these boards long enough. Yes it may be illegal but most prints make it through especially if in a birthday card. But there's plenty of Aussie users here just hang around long enough to meet em then there's no importation risk at all but if u need to a print will make it through

I dunno why I thought it could be done. This was like thinking you could have a baby without the sex. I'm dumb.

Thanks lads. Shroomer has given me my best bet I think.

From what I've researched they tend to grow in paddocks after a coldsnap or heavy rain in the December/January months. Problem is a paddock is about 2 hours drive in any direction for me. May just wait and see if I can get access to the marketplace :smile:

cheers for the advice lads

If he's collecting them it's illegal as well. It doesn't matter what he does, if he's caught he will be punished. I don't think ordering is much riskier than picking and printing himself, he is acting against the law anyway.

You'll never find actives that way. Read up on what species grow where you live, what they look like, grow on, time of year etc.. Then when you think youve found one post for ID

Yea this is my issue. It's not that I'm heaps straight edge or anything, I just know my luck and pretty much assume the moment I jump a fence cops will rock up out of nowhere like a bunch of timeshare salesmen.

Hey sirspicious,
I am in the same Aussie flagged boat as you.
I believe it is only illegal to import spores into Australia which means if the spores come from within Australia then they are legal if they are for "research purposes" and only become illegal once you start to cultivate with those spores.

As far as I am concerned, your options are to go hunting for wild mushies and collect a spore print or find a nice person in Australia who will send you a print.

If you do decide to go down the more natural route, please do some research so you pick the right thing, or (preferably) take someone who definitely knows what they are looking for!

Good luck and please let me know if you find any other options!

Well just looking is risk free as long as he isn't trespassing. If he finds anything (unless he is trespassing) nobody should have any reason to search him as he's leaving unless he makes himself obvious. I personally would just gear up as if I was going on a hike/nature walk. Nothing suspicious about that.

Just wanted to say that ordering is almost safe as well (but still illegal, not endorsing that in any way.). Don't know about Australian law that much, but I guess it should be "in dubio pro reo" as it is in most others. If he would hide his traces as good as possible facing a charge is almost ruled out.
For me it seems like he would prefer not to break any law, but to obtain actives he'll have to. In the end it's up to him anyway and no one can give him a guaranty that he won't get busted.

I'm willing to risk wandering around and having a look but not ordering online. I just don't know anyone that knows anything about Shrooms so I'll literally be grabbing anything I see without the slightest inclination of where to actually look or what to look for.

I do think its pretty ridic how easy it is to get ice in this country (never touched it) but shrooms are like unicorns.

Fellow Aussie in the same boat as you and it bloody well sucks!

I've had some amazing results with microdosing mushrooms for my depression and anxiety, but my supply is finished and now I'm face with waiting for several months until winter, or sourcing a spore print online (most places I've looked are overseas and I believe customs would be more stringent than the local coppers).

Good luck to you though, the more we can switch on here, the better!
