Howdy all you shroomers,
I'm thinking of importing a spore print (I'm living in E Africa) as I reckon it would appear less suspicious if intercepted by customs etc. Assuming I can get my hands on a good spore print, how would I go about actually cultivating from it? Any links?
Check these out! GL

Hi Dub- many thanks! So, it would seem this is entirely possible.
Assuming I go the way of importing a pretty print, would the spores survive the transit? Despite being close to the 20th century, the vagaries of the African postal system are such that I might have to wait a few weeks before my print arrives.
Spores can last years. I'd say it's likely you could succeed...
