I am thinking about ordering some spores online, and i want to ask those people of totse who have used this site before. How do you feel about delivery? Were the packages discreet? How about the final product? There are many psilocybin strains, and i dont know which one to go with. they all look good, but in the end, i want the highest yield. I dont know if this necessarily means that bigger mushrooms are better. So, has anyone tried out this site before? And how about that Myco Garden? Any one have any success with one of these things? The hydro garden looks pretty tight as well...

They are my favorite spore vendor, by far. You get the strain of the month free with your order if you ask for it, discrete shipping, reasonably fast delivery, and best of all no contam problems.
When it comes to cubensis, every strain will have pretty much the same characteristics with the obvious exception of those oddball cubensis like koh samui, PE, orissa india, albino strains, etc. And whichever syringe you do buy contains spores of thousands of sub-strains. So every "strain" has thousands of genetic variations. And most of the descriptions of strains is just vendor hype. So unless you take the time to isolate a strain to your liking, it doesn't matter what you pick that much at all. It all comes down to personal preference in the end. I have a liking for the texas strain, particularly an isolate I bred out. The fruits are potent, dense, abundant, and bruise blue/green like no ones business.
I've used http://www.lilshopofspores.com/ but only because it's sorta near where I am and it was a shroomery sponsor.
Stick to these: http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php and you won't have to worry about getting ripped off.
Cubes are cubes are basically cubes. There's some differences like spencetron said (albinos, penis envy, and so on) but in the end you're still gonna trip when you eat enough. Every trip is different, so there's no way you can really say that a certain strain affects you this way or that way.

I've never used either of those stores, so I can't vouch for them. but I have used sporeworks, and I received my package in three days. plain box, and they even bothered to change the name on the box to ' the works'
they syringe was great, worked perfectly, no probs. with contam, ect... full of tiny black specs.
as far as other stores go, typically shroomery vendors are always trustworthy (ralphsters, sporeworks, ect...), also they have customer support at the forum.
as far as strains go, http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/7955073/an/0/page/0
