planning on growing shro0ms. need advice

hi guys i was plannin on growin shro0ms
im currently researching about it

what strains can you recommend for a total newbie livin in a tr0pical country?
it goes way up to 32-35C here and 50-80% humidity w/o a dehumidifier but its gettin quite cooler now around 28-30C 55-70% humidity

and btw what sites can you recommend that ships worldwide through standard intl mail?

i can get local stuff here but im not sure i might end up dead when i eat em i sew some mushrooms growin in the backyard and some on my trips to the country side but i dont know whats what as i dont know much about em lol and its totally legal here to cultivate and use and i think 99% of the ppl here dont even know that psychedelic mushr0oms exist lol

TIA

B+ is good for beginners.. or golden teachers.. i did golden teachers my first time around..i incubate at like 75-80 degrees..and i fruit along like 70 something..i suggest going to shroomery.org or mycotopia.net and reading up a whole bunch before you start anything..and i always use sporeworks, they do international too.. but there are alot of good vendors out there, so read up on some of them at one of those sites and make your choice that way.. good luck..

i havnt grown mine yet, but from what ive been reading all cubes grow just about the same and all cubes are great for beginners

B + is great,it grows fairly quickly, it is fairly robust, it yields large fruit, it is fairly contam resistant and it is plenty strong. Don't use PF Tek.

I concur with the B+. Another unexpected delight that was as easy and powerful as B+ for me is Alcabenzi. They work great. And felt alot more heady than B+ every time I ate em. And no pf tek. Try easy popcorn tek. Good luck.

whats easier to use? syringes or spore prints?
popcorn tek?
i was thinkin of using pf whats the pros and cons of both?
w/c will yield more?

syringes are less work, heres one of many popcorn teks..http://www.shroomery.org/9035/Popcorn-Tek-w-pics yield has alot of variables, just like growing marijuana..youll be much happier if you spawn something to bulk, that will out perform pftek anytime.

I'm doing Rye Berries in half pint jars, though spores101 takes FOREVER to ship their orders, so I would say piss off from that site, I will never use them again.

www.shroomery.org has a plethora of information on the subject

can i make a lot of mycelium cultures from 1 syringe? im planning on buying 6 250ml ball masons and 6 1 lt

are you doing the pftek? cause then you need smaller containers, a half pint is 284 ml..anything bigger with the pftek is gonna take a while to colonize.

il try the popcorn too and see what suits me

still finding a site that ships cheap internationally

btw what about brown rice? we have loads of rice here

will this be ok? http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&v=msUoZPVk-yY

yeah, thatll work..the problem with that is, contams..letting the bulk substrate incubate and colonize..im much more comfortable mixing spawn into a pasteurized bulk substrate..because its like a race against contams..(contams are fast)..with mixing spawn..it would go alot faster.., and sure it worked for him (pinsets arent impressive at all)..but what works for him might not work for you..just go to the shroomery.org or mycotopia.net and start reading..theres tons of teks..find the best one that suits you and follow it.

EDIT: and yeah brown rice flour is what is in the pftek..get a food processor and chop up all the brown rice and make it into brown rice flour..dont use it whole.
