Hey impressive website~, This is my first time growing shrooms and hopefully my first time trying. Their is one thing that is stumping me. I don't trust any website that is gonna send somthing illegal into the US and i really don't feel like searching for them. The spores, I was reading up on diffrent teks and was woundering if i got this right,( Yall really get technical on this shit lol ) Well, i read this http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/7996 and was curious to know if it ment i can use the Mycelium solution instead if injecting spores? Any advice would be appreciated. Anyone here in the US order spores from here and have success?

many people here have ordered spores from the vendors here many times, pretty much always successfully. You are going to need spores to start your mycelium culture. However if you are looking to buy spores from shroomery vendors remember that they are only for microscopy use

I would suggest you buy a few spore syringes from either.
http://sporeworks.com/xcart/catalog/index.html
http://www.ralphstersspores.com/
Both are top notch, fast & reliable.
Study up on LC's. (use search function)

You can stretch a few spore syringes out for YEARS, with LC's.

Start shopping for a high quality pressure cooker, if you plan to stay in the hobby. The bigger, the better. One that holds 7 quart jars is preferable.

Welcome to the Shroomery!~

Yes you can use an LC rather than using spores to inoculate your jars or substrate.
But your gonna need spores to start an LC.
here is a list of the Shroomery Vendors...
http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php
Look through them and find a Spore Vendor and you will be fine... Spores are not illegal in most States in the USA.
California, Georgia and Idaho are the exceptions.
enjoy your stay here!~

just pick any cube strain you like. It will matter very little.
to narrow down your search:
Orissa India PF Albino Cambodian Malabar Penis Envy South American
close your eyes and pick one of the above strains.
or, just pick any of them. they are all the same species of mushroom, a few (about 8) look any different, the rest are mostly just names. you'll hear pros and cons on every strain.
check out each vendor and pick one with a special. some match or beat other's prices. get yourself a deal and start the process.

I like the South American strain of Cubensis...
It's a fast colonizer, fast fruiting, large fruits and gives off nice yeilds.
No...
using a kit would be more expensive than making up your own stuff.

Any Psilocybe Cubensis is a great choice. P. Cubensis is a Toxic hallucinogenic mushroom, and if you want to trip, it's a great choice

if you live in california you may find it very hard if not impossible to get spores sent to you .your lovely state along with Idaho and georgia have outlawed the possesion of psilocybin spores.Ya might have to get the m sent out of state and go picke m up or have them sent to a friend who will deliver them or send them to you.

I'm really liking PESA. If you want to use an LC, I suggest reading up on Otto's very simple how-to... http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5238137/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1
And as far as being worried about ordering spores, they're legal (for microscopy purposes only of course) aside for the aforementioned states.
Good luck

i believe eraserhead was just being a little sarcastic. Considering most field guides list psilocybe shroomsas being toxic though he isnt really lying. (i believe they consider anything toxic that has any sort of after/side effect other then being yummy andproviding nutrients)

P. Cubenis is NOT toxic! Its completly organic from mother nature and just because you can trip dosent mean its toxic.
Welcome to the Shroomery!!!
Just because something is completely "organic" and natural doesn't mean it is not toxic. Poison ivy is natural and "organic" (and prolly the fuckin' cure for cancer) but the urushiol that it produces is toxic. THC is toxic. Psilocybin and psilocin are also toxins, though like THC the LD50 is extremely high.
As far as the shroom wizard...that website is a huge joke! Somebody should take that dude out and flog him...30 lashes with a wet noodle. Don't follow or try to adapt any of his so-called "teks" because you're setting yourself up for failure. I learned my lesson before stumbling onto the shroomery. These guys are a good bunch of people, most of them anyway (every community has its share of assholes), but even the jerks are full of useful and applicable knowledge. Stick to the teks you find here, don't be mislead by kit selling vendors promising 2 lb yields from a $50 6 1/2 pt jars and a rubbermaid tub kit, and you'll be straight. Don't be paranoid about buying spores, you're not breaking any laws, and all the sponsored vendors ship very discretely.
Good luck with your first grow, and again, welcome to the community!
Peace.

I like Equador and Golden Teacher, easy to grow. Order from ralphstersspores.com, highly recommended, or find someone who will send you a print, many people will. Follow the basic PF method EXACTLY using a tub-in-tub incubator/fruiting chamber. Don't get a pressure cooker until you are sure you will be doing this often. Spend the least amount of money possible on stuff for your first time. Easy.
