Is their any spores in dried shrooms? How would I get them out so I can grow them? And I need a method that works when the shrooms are dried. Sorry if this isn't allowed.
Spores In Dried Shrooms?

This is probably borderline against the rules.
To answer your question, yes there will be spores in dried mushrooms. However, depending on your source and how old the mushrooms are, there will likely not be a substantial amount. You could try soaking the dried mushrooms in water and use the water as a spore solution, but you will likely face contamination, and if not, extremely slow growth if any at all.
Try searching the web for spore vendors. There are lots out there, and its a much easier route.

you're guaranteed to grow a contaminant instead of the shroom you want. growing fungi is a sterile process, and requires sterile collection of spores. check mycotopia, they can help you out a ton there.

How is this borderline against the rules? Seems like a legit question to me...

Shrooms can only be grown from sterile spores. If you know who grows them, ask for a print or you can just order a spore syringe online (spores are legal in most states).
Dig shroomery.org for good info on growing.

They can be grown from mushroom tissue as well, and if you have mushrooms with intact veils the spores should be fine. You can check them by getting them going on agar and selecting good and uncontaminated sectors.
But that is probably much too advanced for any beginner so just get yourself some clean spores from a good online source. They don't cost that much at all.
A spore syringe is easier and ready to use. But a spore print can be made into like at least 5-10 or more spore syringes. But you got to learn to work sterile.
Try the PF Tek, ideal to begin with.
you can add the Dunk & Roll tek and the Shotgun Tek.
I think this thread is ok considering the rules. Check the cultivation thread though, for info and for continuation. To be found through the main PD page > Psychedelic index (big blue link on top), go to Psilocybe Mushrooms thread and the Cultivation subthread.
