Has Anyone Ever Ordered Lepista Nuda From This Canadian Website?

Was wondering if anyone had bought anything from a company out of Canada called "The Mushroom Patch" www.mushroompatch.com
On 5/2 I ordered Blewit Petri Cultures - Lepista nuda Culture, with shipping it came to $54. The email said it may take up to 10 days before the order would be shipped. I had it shipped to Kentucky where I've been visiting for a while and I'm about to head back to the east coast.
I've yet to hear from them. I've emailed them, but no response. Should I just give up, call the bank, and get my money back... or are these guys ok and just give them time.
I would have used one of the sponsors, but no one had this strain. I did use Ralphsters Spores (great company) and Sporeworks (great company) and ordered 14 different strains from them. The heat got to the Sporeworks ones, but they replaced them like a champ.

I personally have heard of more complaints and problems with that vendor then satisfied customers. Also a lot of the products they offer seem to be overpriced and can be purchased cheaper elsewhere.
That is just my opinion tho and I reserve the right to it.

While I have not used them, all of the companies that I have used have been painfully slow, MONTHS, not weeks. Sometimes they don't have them already grown out, and if you've ever made a petri dish or LC, it can take time. Just be patient- they'll get you your crack.

I haven't used them. But if you don't get a culture from them consider cloning you're own from a wild mushroom, these are one of the easiest mushrooms to get going on agar, they're relatively meaty, but easy to cut with a scalpel, they grow fast and out run contamination on agar plates so it's easy to isolate away from contamination and the mycelium is purple so it's easy to tell it apart from random other mycelium.

Just a long awaited update.... The culture came about a week after making this post, but I was unsuccessful in expanding the culture.
I would have rather cloned my own, but they don't grow here and I was wanting a true wild blewitt, not the cultivated blue foot from the grocery.

I ordered two cultures from them in February and received the syringes three weeks later. They grew well on agar and wbs, no contams.

I placed an order with mushroompatch.com a few months ago. All the cultures were contaminated or dead. Initially, Mike seemed to want to work with me, and fix their completely screwed up culture collection. After some polite emails with them, they sent some new cultures which were either mislabeled or dead.
I've asked for them to make good on my order, or refund my money. I have again been very polite. Mike will no longer answer my emails. Meanwhile, I am out the $83 for my order, plus many hours wasted.

This seems to be a common theme with the mushroom patch. I personally would never give them a cent of my money and would advise people order from companies who are either a sponsor or care about/ take pride in there work.
Sorry to hear about your interactions with them Terry, at least it will act as a warning to other members.

I will NEVER order from these guys again.
Delivery was delayed. Parts of order missing. Syringes were bunk. Emails go unanswered. Phone messages left go unanswered (if their phone line is even up)
