Hi All,
This is a review of my experience with sporeworks.
Ordered four 5lb spawn bags of manure based substrate with rye berries, self healing inoculation port and filter patch.
We'll start with the bad, and that is that the bags did not come in a protective plastice wrapping, they were packed loose in one large shipping box. The peanuts in the box I doubt are sterile and as such each bag should be sealed or all bags together - there needs to be a barrier between the rest of the world and the bags.
Also my order was submitted wrong, not sure if it was my fault or the system's but had to call to get it corrected. When corrected it was not completely corrected and I received the wrong mushroom culture. After a quick phone call to sporeworks the mistake was corrected and I was immediately mailed the correct variety.
Now for the good. Shipping was lightning fast, total turn around time is unknown but very short, I'm very pleased. The replacement culture was shipped very fast as well. Customer support was very friendly and very inclined to help.
Overall 8 - Very good - Would do business with them again, but not before they agree to seal each spawn bag inside another plastic bag or wrapping. If they are uninclined to do so I would switch over to mushbox instead.
Thanks, will update this post when/if bags have colonized.

Dude, the inside is all that matters, not the outside of the bags. The only thing you should do is take an alcohol wipe and clean the injection port, then you're good to go

I disagree, I think as much precaution as is conveniently practical should be implemented. Do you know how easy it is for particles to pass through a filter patch? There's gaping holes in the thing, contextually speaking of course.

There is absolutely no need for the outside of the bag to be sterile, nor the peanuts it is shipped with. Like dill said, just clean the injection port.
This is ridiculous.

Yeah, the filter patch was design for filtering, not just air exchange.

Ok, gaping was too strong, but just the same every time the bag is handled air is going to be constantly pumping in and out, so reduced exposure to unsterile air is a good thing.
And I'm not saying outside of bag needs to be sterilized, that wouldn't make any sense except in the case of the filter patch and the injector site. Yes that would be rediculous.

The filter filters out the contaminates in the air.
I'll try to find you a link if you like, (see mood) <----

Oh, they're 100% failsafe?
And why am I being laughed at, seems kind of disrespectful when I'm trying to have an adult discussion, but suit yourself.

If you don't even own a substrate bag, why are you even commenting in this thread?
