SPOREWORKs rules. ANYBODY AGREE OR NOT

Just wanted to say that I am very pleased with my experience with sporeworks. My package was at my doorstep in two days. The carton it was shipped in was a very sturdy small cardboard box which kept my babies safe from the brutal hands of UPS. As far as the contents, it couldn't be more professional. The syringes were bone dry, no water leaking from them, like Ive gotten from other places. They gave me an extra syringe which is tits. And the addition of the microscope slides was a really professional touch. Just wanted to let everyone know what kind of product you can expect if you decide to order from them. Thank you and good luck

I've been a Sporeworks fan for quite some time. Their speed and customer service is second to none.
Sadly, their lack of prints has caused me to go elsewhere.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I agree JonnyLongboard and luvdemshrooms. This is a spore syringe of pan cyan hawaii and not what I see on other sites.

Thanks

I just ordered mine over the weekend and it finally got here on Friday(standard USPS) Mine looks exactly like that as well in both syringes. I know spores are micro but there's enough of them that broke off from the blob in transit that if you tip the needle back and forth you can see the 'dust' of spores. Kinda like a snow globe but better ! Not sure if it was mentioned on their site but it could be an obvious thing but with the kit it also contained a single glass slide for the microscope(just reread OP's post). Just didn't expect that + extra needle so....
5 stars in my book! Very satisfied.

Just got my first order from them, came exactly as you described. Excellent samples indeed! Had to give them quite the good shake before the innoc as they seemed to be plentiful enough to clump within a few hours of settling.
Couldnt be happier with the order =D

Yeah, Sporeworks is the shit. I have even called and changed an order over the phone. They even guarantee their spores. I have been beat buy the sporestore before and I’ll never shop anywhere else.

Seeing how today is Sunday, it's only day 4... not 5. No confirmation of order email yet. I live a long way from any sizable shipping lines, so this is usual for me - mail takes forever to get anywhere.

O well, I'm not really ready to take on too many strains atm. Plus, this gives me a chance at more variety - I'll order again and then ask for the freebee.

Finally, it arrives. Wisconsin seems to not have their act together when it comes to sorting mail. My package waited in Milwaukee for 2 days.
Thanks SPOREWORKS!

Yea I think im changine my statement about the Works. I have went thru 3 syringes with absolutley zero sighs of viability at all. Ive got jars that have been going for a month with nothing. Im not a master mycologist and yes I had some problems when I first tried rye but I have gotten my rye prep down very well. So I know its not my prep. And its the same grain that ive used in the past. I truly belive its the styringes. Because it really cant be anything else unless someway a company that has been supplying rye grain to breweries for 50 years has all of a sudden started treating there grain with fungicides then it has to be the syringes. Even when I first started doing grain and it was soaking wet I still got growth yes very slow growth but it still grew.

Sucks to hear that man. My first syringe did great all of my jars had pretty aggressive growth.
Since my experience was fine, i don't have any input on their customer support, but im sure there is someone you can contact.

Yea it fucking blows. I just cant see how it can be anything else but the syringes. If its not the lids, jars or grain then there's only one thing left. My lids are made of vacutainer injection ports and 1/2 inch holes with synthetic filter discs rtv'd over them. So there's gas exchange. My grain is not too wet. Honestly its pretty damn good. Its the same grain that ive used before and shit grew before. So thru the powers of deduction it comes down to the syringes. I just dont see how with so many people giving nothing but good reviews about these guys that I could get three bad syringes in a row. But Im truly belive that to be the case.

Have you even tried goin simple and doin a plain pf jar? Mine have taken awhile to get off but that's bc it's the first go round and I didn't put enough substrate(whole rice) in so the needle only really hit the Verm. Other than that...they all grew something(got one in consolidation and two finishing up and one that was contam). Even the two lcs I started have shown something(used 1cc each). Maybe, if you try a lc whether it be a simple karo or honey or a glc(which I plan on doin next) you'd have luck instead of trying to germ with spores alone.
Maybe it's just the strain but I believe when I read the FAQ they'd guarantee for up to 15 days or something.

I have already done grain before I do not need to do a pf jar. I know how to properly prep grain. That is why im so frustrated I know its not my grain prep. I dont have any agar plates and I really cant afford to spend any more money on this shit right now.

i have been very pleased with sporeworks. the shroomery member hookup is pretty sweet. i have had all viable and healthy syringes that arrived in good shape and were packaged professionally and shipped discretely.
i will however be ordering from ralphster next time. not becuase i have had issues with sporeworks (3 of 3 orders as described above) but because he has a wider variety and i really want some oak ridge spores from him.
-------------------- I am looking for any shiitake strains, any oyster strains, and lions mane cultures. i got cool edibles to trade. "Mycologists on the other hand grow for the love of growing. They want to experiment with various species, substrates, and fruiting environments. They'll move on to isolate strains, attempt hybridization, and in general treat cultivation as an artform, rather than a chore that must be performed as a means to an end. They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection..." Roger Rabbit
