Best Site For Spore Prints

I'm in Australia and would like to know which would be the best site to order spore prints from? As in quality wise and shipping discreetness.

Also what would be some good prints to get? I've tried Mexicans and Hawaiians in Amsterdam and they were both different effects but good. All the sites I've looked at that have Hawaiians or Mexicans don't really look like the ones we had in Amsterdam. Any reason for that?

No idea. Australia has a vast population of Cubensis growing in cow fields though. You're better off hunting......

golden teacher is outstanding, but a slow colonizer, and not huge fruits...

best voyage i've had though

shroomer has good vendors, but shroomery is nothing more than a forum, like this one.

the hawk's eye, or ralphsters are two i know to be trustworthy and reliable. i am a noob, i'm sure there are many more.

Not true at all. It can give off fruits just as big as any other strain of cubensis.

yes, it can, but they seem to be here and there, not normal for the strain. however, this is observation of a n00b, and not factual book printed info. all my first ones are tiny, my friend's were also small (same spore vendor). he got some oddball biggies in the second, third, and fourth flushes, but mostly small ones on the first.

hey tom, is that normal? or did i/we just screw up? i really would like to know more, and if i can make improvements, i'm open to suggestions

1. Lazy is not a word that should be used or acted out in mycology
2. Read, Read, Read and Study from those who are well experienced(RogerRabbit; personal favorite, Agar, hyphae, tahoe, etc.. ....this is from shroomery.org/forums)
3. Polyfill is for pillows
4. Fish Pumps are for fish
5. Small holes drilled in everywhere demolish air pumps and are way more consistent than a fish pump ever could.
6. Get an analog (hair) hygrometer, they sell them at your local cigar store and they're not that expensive($7-20). Don't get the digitals because they can't accurately measure humidity because of condensation on the sensor.
7. Sunflower seeds DO NOT need to be removed from the top(also known as floaters). They add lignin to the substrate which strengthens cell walls which is a good thing). If you're looking for consistancy it doesn't matter.
8. Light doesn't cause pre-mature pinning for colonizing spawn jars/bags.
9. Corn is absolutely the worst spawning material you can use however it CAN work but it's not prefered. The best hands down is Organic Rye Berries but not easy to come by. Also for most it's expensive.
10. At shroomery just because it says 'Trusted Cultivator' under the name Doesn't mean that person should be taken seriously. They're handing them out like candy now.
11. Small mushrooms is a sign of mainly, not enough air exchange, moisture issues, low low humidity, etc... If it's too wet the mushrooms will be rotten and small...If it's too dry they'll be small, thin, cracked. Also could be a light issue too. Read more on http://www.mushroomvideos.com/ It's your best source of information however. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING EVERYONE SAYS.

why is corn so bad? what effect does it have on fruits?

what exactly does mycelium eat?

still reading, but people like you are hard to come by. lots of shitty info at shroomery, and my threads get no replies...

RR is my favorite over there too, most of my success could be accredited to him

If you are going to order from Amsterdam, you might as well try ordering from Sporelab.com. He's in Canada and has a very good reputation for being freindly and fair.

Anybody know what strains would be good to get? In Amsterdam strains have ratings of how potent they are and if they are more energetic or visual. This was good for our fist time since we got mexicans which were lighter and more energetic. The next time we had hawaiians which were the heaviest and had the most visuals, me and my mate could tell the difference and was good to try different sorts and to have the lighter ones first. In saying that I'm after some light ones and heavy ones.

I've checked out thehawkseye.com, spores101.com & ralphstersspores.com. All look good but which would be the best in quality of prints?

It's bullshit, hence Penis Envy and Albinos and some sub strains.

Ralphsters all the way.
great service and never had a problem with him
cash or money order only
shipping can take alittle while but top quality spores and a great selection
also throws in a strain of the month with your order

Equador is a must(very good visuals along with body rush), and Hawaiian is always good(great body high, higher then average visuals).

What bullshit about the ratings in Amsterdam. I understand to some extent they would be bullshit but I could tell the difference between Hawaiian and Mexicans.

Thanks mate, that's the answers I was looking for. Can anyone else suggest some others they've tried?

I think I mite go with ralphsters since he seems to have a good variety of strains and be a reasonable price.
