The F.S.R.U.S Thread
    #7751086 - 12/12/07 08:00 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Alright my fellow Shroomerites, it was recently brought to my
attention that us Americans don't have a Free Spore Ring of our
own. This is sad, that Europe has one, our northern neighbors
have one, but we do not have one right here in the Grand Ole'
United States. It is time to change this fact. It is time that
us American Shroomerites stand loud and proud, and make the best
spore ring. Let us put Europe and Canada to shame.

I'm going to order Ralphsters Ultimate Special and take 1/4 of my
crop from each strain and make spore prints. After-which, I'll
start the Free Spore Ring United States by founding an FSRUS website,
with a forum and electronic CC processing. Postage will be able to be
paid through an SSL encrypted checkout or by mailing in payment.

To avoid the cheap pricks, FSRUS would obviously have to
require postage, prior to spore print shipping. FSRUS
would also offer Spore Syringes at say $5 to help cover
the costs of operation for FSRUS. Print Excellence will
be #1 with the U.S. Spore Ring.

To make this work, we'll obviously need contributions
of spores and other talents, such as web design, legal, etc.

I'll be able to give FSRUS a good launch after the holidays,
sometime in mid February.

If you are a proud and loud American, and think you can make a contribution of some sort, please do not hesitate to lend your
hand in making Free Spore Ring United States happen.



Read the following thread for a little extra info on this
one: Thank you shroomery.

I would definitely consider contributing to this.

Once I have the time, and the place of course.

I am kind of good at webdesign. Also, will you have trading where if someone sends in a much needed spore, they won't have to pay S&H? I liked doing trades like that on the other spore rings

Trades would be a definite, and for contributers we'd offer something along the lines of every three prints you send in, you get one of your choice free, no shipping charged, but obviously, representing the United States, only the finest of specimens would be considered.

The strains I have are b+, amazonian, gt. Non trippy ones I have are shiitake and lions mane. I might have pans but they are probably like infected.

Cool, cool. All contributions will be appreciated man.
Store your extra prints.

Can't wait till everybody is talking of how much better
the Free Spore Ring United States is compared to Europe
and Canada.

Anyway man, I have a bong calling my name. :peace:

I wouldn't do that. It would eat up your funds too fast. On the other hand, regular contributers could order more than one print a month mebbe. Say they can order an extra print for every ten they send in (paying for delivery)

The idea of Free Spore Rings is based on generosity. Make the rewards for donating too big and people will be selfish and abuse the system. I could easily send in 100 prints and ask for 30 different ones, sent to me for free if you used your system.

EDIT: Also, ask for two dollars, not 1.14. You don't want coins in the envelopes and the extra few cents can go towards keeping the website server up, or pay for a couple of airtight boxes to keep the prints in or sumthin

I hate to ummmm... hate, but in my short time here Ive seen these threads numerous times, and they always end the same support the Europe or Canada ones. Its the easiest most practical way, more people donate prints.

If you are a proud and loud American




What's up with all the misplaced patriotism throughout this thread? It's fine to be proud of your country, but the network of mushroom growers is an international one. Even if you will only ship domestically, don't lose track of the international community, because it may well be that a grower for lets say Pretoria, South Africa will do a sizable donation.

:nonono: you are thinking competitively, where you should be thinking synergistically. FSRE and FSRC are your allies, not your enemies. Get in touch with them through email. Network with them. Ask them for advice and what the bottlenecks are of a Free Spore Ring operation.

Quote:

FSRUS
would also offer Spore Syringes at say $5 to help cover
the costs of operation for FSRUS.




I would like to recommend against that. Sending loaded syringes through the mail isn't discrete. It would be the single biggest risk of your operation getting the wrong kind of attention. A letter with a print inside swims through an ocean of first class mail, a parcel with a syringe inside might get x-rayed or opened, and get you the wrong kind of oink invite.

Besides: making syringes is a lot of work, and they are bound to be very popular. That's a bottleneck right there, the energy consumed by making a dozen syringes could have been put to work in sending a hundred prints. When spore distribution is your goal, you got to work swiftly and efficiently and strive to have as many prints out the door per week as you can.

I recommend you to create a section for wild prints. Wild prints are prints that are gathered from the wild, or who have been printed using less than sterile techniques. Wild prints carry a bigger risk of contaminations being present, but with wild prints you could have benefactors who send in 100 prints or so per donation. Also, wild-gathered prints represent strains that have not yet been examined by the cultivators, and may have unknown properties.

Especially the more experienced growers won't be shy of a bit of agar work to isolate a pure strain, and then see what it holds. This also ensures that some of the more experienced growers will go for the (plentiful) wild prints and the less experienced growers will go for the sterile culture prints (rare) with better success for both and a higher number of prints getting distributed through your operation.

Psilocybe cubensis is bound to be your major print. Make sure that there is an option "Or Any Cubensis" on your order sheet which people can check in case they prefer quick delivery over a particular strain. Then, if there's a waiting list for a particular strain, you can ship a cubensis print that's in good supply instead to those who'd prefer that.

FSR-US looks better or if you're funny FS'R'US :awesome:

electronic CC processing




For privacy's sake, many people would prefer to send you one or two dollar bills through the mail, along with their order and address. This way their credit card won't be linked to a spores purchase, and they keep the transaction offline.

If you are really about spore distribution and not about the $$ you might consider allowing Americans to include a self-addressed & stamped envelope in their order by post, instead of payment. After all, all you have to do then is include the print, close the envelope and send right?

I'm full of advice, I'm just so full of it :lol:

Sounds like a plan, buddy. Once my operation is up and running and I've got a better feel for the system, I'd love to contribute.

As far as California, Georgia, and Idaho go,
FSR-US would have to exclude these states from
the demographics of operation.

Although, as stated above, you will be able to
do trades on the website with other members.
Obviously FSR-US could not possibly keep track
of all its members trades. What is traded between
members is really none of FSR-US' concern.
*snip* :wink:

I've been wondering about this too.

There should be a FSRUS.

I do like the sound of FS'R'US. It has a nice 'ring' to it.

A web page is easy enough just use one of the Cascading Style Sheet templates from a program like Dream Weaver and drop in the content for FS'R'US

I would LOVE to see an active co-operation between the various FSR groups. I mean wouldn't that successfully bring the international community together? Couldn't that possibly lead to trade between rings as well? Wouldn't that help prevent shortages?

I suppose it all comes down to people in the end. It would be nice to see something like this take off.
