I think a lot of people might be missing the obvious.  I have often gotten spores that aren't viable.  My theory is that during shipping they reached thier critical death temperature.  Sounds bad, but its true.

Spores call handle fairly high temps myc can handle up to 106 and spores are much higher. up to 50C. (122F). some say mushroom spores can go much higher, so i'm not quite sure if shipping temps would do that? just my opinion

if you start the grain with live myc then you will be successful, well, at least if you do everything right. but you really do need to start grain with myc.

Magash that's an awesome guide, its needs to go in the Mushroom Growing Teks section so people don't need to dig through the boards.
