I used this vendor for my current batch. I may have got lucky, but they were viable. The sponsers on here are certainly more of a sure bet, I just wanted to ship domestic this time.

I *think* most of the complaints were of bad customer service, never bad spores. If you search and read the old posts I'd say 95% of them were positive. It was just the few messed up orders he had would take a long time to get fixed and poor communication.

I member all the crap about Ralphsters. Mob rules, I thought it had something to do about shipping, and packages taking forever.

No matter what sponsor you use, if there's a comments section, ask them to double wrap them in bubble wrap. Or call them first to ask.
I live in freezing cold weather for 8 months of the year, and my spores were delivered in pretty cold weather. My first grow is over, and was successful. I did have some jars that didn't take....at all, so just make sure you do enough jars to balance out the win/lose, and you should be fine.

Our well water is drinkable, but we also have bottled water here available all the time, so I think I'll go with our bottled water, just to be on the safe side.
Thank you very, very much for all the help! Such a informative community Well, here goes nothing. Will be placing an order this week, and using the weekend to prepare supplies.

the well water is probably actually better. If you can get pond water that's even better yet, of course you'll only use it where it would get sterilized so the quality doesn't really matter just don't use it to mist your substrate when it's in the fruiting chamber, use bottled water for that.
there's more minerals in well water that the myc can use. As long as you can drink it they can.
