Hey guys I ordered spores a week ago and they just arrived, but have a look. There was no discreetness, no stealth just literally a syringe in a package. I feel like it shouldn't have gotten through, or like they tested it and saw it was just water or somethin only way to find out is go grab some vermiculite and brown rice flour I guess lol.

Good luck with that syringe.
Looks like You barely got any spores.

Looking forward to Your update, Mate.

Make sure You keep that thing sterile.

And this is why you are on my ignore list, you clearly know nothing. Even I know from a simple Google that they are microscopic and you should only see a few flecks, which i do. I'll wait for input from folks who know their shit, thanks.

They can be a mass, they can be invisible. Let's not go nits over inspection methods. Why would anyone do anything stealthy of they are legal where they are sent from?
And why would anyone test syringes (the only way you could test them is to propagate them) when they can just confiscate them and demand you pick them up on person?

Well it should be stealthy because A I messaged asking if it would be discreet and was told yes, and B they are illegal HERE. That's like saying they'd send a weed brownie in a zip loc from Canada cause it's legal there lol. But all I can do is order a grain bag and try to inoculate it. Do you have to use the whole syringe in one go or can you use it as you need?

What company did you use? There is a glob in the ones i have got and would have to shake the shit out of the spore syringe and no super stealth shipping there in a bag in a envelope with a couple glass slides for using a micro scope. plus a alcohol wipe. i buy from spore works. super quick delivery. friendly people on the phone when i pay with my credit/debit card.

Just use the whole syringe, Mate.

You will contaminate the needle or whole syringe easily if You reuse a syringe / needle.
Especially since there is only a sparse amount of spores in Your current syringe.

Does anyone use spore store?? I've used them before and had good luck growing.... Plus they have good prices .... Just wondering why I never hear recommendations ... Only shop I tried so wondering if other shops be better for any reason

Never tried them before, they seem to have good prices though except for their super charged syringes.. why the heck would anyone pay more for extra spores, the solution in already saturated..
I use sporeworks when i shop. They are a bit pricer but the quality is top notch.
They also have some on sale for 12 buks ( older inventory but that doesn’t matter )
If you tell them on the comment section while checking out that your a member of the shroomery they’ll give you a free syringe

I like r/sporetraders. Seems like everyone barely puts spores in them now. Last ms I tried in 10 jars had one grow. Best to make liquid culture if you're not going the petri route
