Mail order to Israel

Hi everyone
This is my first post here. I've been reading a lot lately and i really want to start growing my own mushrooms soon.
I'm facing a big problems though: I live in Israel and since i don't know anybody that could hook me up with some spores i would have to order them online. Now here's the problem: I'm quite concerned about ordering syringes or spore prints online and shipping them to Israel. The main reason for this is that a friend of mine had a horrible experience when ordering a couple of cannabis seeds from The Netherlands to Israel a few years ago. The police seized the package and my friend got his house raided, six months later ! They were hoping to find a plantation (which they didn't).
I'm very paranoid that the same might happen to me if i order spores. Even more since i live where i work. (I do have my own house but all my neighbors are coworkers) A police raid would cost me my job. I know that they are not illegal in theory but if they raid a house for 2 - 3 seeds... Any Israeli (or non Israeli) on this forum that can give me some advise on this subject?
I will be visiting some family in Europe soon. A part of me thinks that it might even be safer to order a spore print to my families house and bring it in my checked in luggage. I don't think that i would risk bringing syringes on a plane, not even in my checked-in luggage, since syringes just look very suspicious. Ofcourse this would make the whole growing proces more difficult since i would have to make my own syringes, and im a compleet noob in this hobby.
I would really appriciate any advise 
Thanks a lot

Also, please keep in mind that vendors DO NOT want to be mentioned in any of your posts if you plan on doing anything illegal. These vendors have worked hard to maintain legitimate businesses. Please be considerate and remember to mention in your order receipt that you're a member on the shroomery, they like to take care of us when they can

You could grow gourmet varieties instead? Lions mane, maitake etc are awesome, Either way spores are legal (where I live) for microscopy and taxonomy purposes, this allows mycologists to build their spore collections across most of the globe and continue researching despite the limitations on growing some.
Sometimes it's just best to go get them yourself, particularly if you value your privacy

There are shops in Europe that sell growkits I think. Maybe order a kit and have the vendors label it Lions mane or something? IDK bro hope you find a way to get what you need.

I vote this option. Are spores illegal in Israel?

I sent a guy from isreal a print a couple weeks ago.
I do not think a raid would result even if it's discovered as contraband, firstly.
Secondly I wrote "enjoy under your microscope" on it.
A quick google search result shows it's not even illegal to posses fruits there, so, are you so sure you even have a reason to worry?
First time?

The law around it is kind of a grey area... technically it is not illegal to poses them, but there have been cases where people have been arrested for growing mushrooms in big amounts.
Yes first time I guess i am just being way too paranoid about it because of my friends experience. Thanks for your answers guys!
