Psilocybe semilanceata spores available anywhere? Curious

Hey, sorry if this is a stupid question. Basically I have an experiment in mind as another experiment for a different shroom is going well so far (if it's successful I will be posting about it), so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could perchance locate some liberty cap spores without having to wait till picking season?
Thanks for looking 
(Also if this was the wrong place to ask this I apologise. I wasn't sure where was best)

U can try the Marketplace if you are 60 days registered and 50 posts in (which you are) 
I believe the UK is having their Fall season right now.

Hi, thanks for letting me know I will try look. As for the UK it's currently winter/early spring I believe. There they fruit in about September:)

Well, if u actually live in the UK, i highly recommend hunting them in the Fall! If u have a way to travel to the cow fields of course.
If not, check the Marketplace around September, you should be able to find some prints.

I picked some last year and each spot i went to i only found maybe 10 at a time but they are quite strong for their size.
If you do manage to get some fresh or get spores they are very hard to grow from what i have read. I would love to try grow some myself come September if i find some more.
I dont think you can just add them to grain as they live off decaying grass. They do quite well on the edges of golf courses were the grass is cut and falls by the side. They also do well in fields and meadows were there are sheep and cows. Not sure if they utilise the dung left behind.
There was a thread were a guy did manage to grow some but he said it was very hard and did not yield very much.

Yes they are quite potent little things! And yeah apparently quite hard to grow. But I have an idea in mind for an experiment to see if I can get them to. Like the other experiment I'm currently doing I am not sure what the success rate will be (the reason I haven't posted progress yet haha). But I REALLY want to try it. In theory I don't see why it wouldn't work.
from what I gather is they like manured soil (rabbit, sheep, cow maybe horse) but don't grow on manure directly. they feed on decaying grass root and other organic matter (I'd assume worm castings and maybe other decaying plants). Then for fruiting require a temperature drop to below 10°C.
I think they could be started as some form of spawn, like other difficult to grow predominantly outdoor species and then added to either a prepared ground patch or perhaps a tub with turf... But maybe it is just one that's best to leave it to nature. I still would be interested to find out.

U may try post in the Shroomery Sponsors forum. There maybe a Shroomery Vendor that sells prints/syringes.

I think I might well do that. Sporeworks has a listing but out of stock and that's about the only one I've found so far. Think I shall go see if anyone has the microscopy sample I'm looking for

Bummerz. Welp, maybe they'll have some in the future sometime.
