I can't imagine it is really all that big of a deal for the time being, or be any reason to panic? We all certainly appreciate the ability to place an order online automatically with a card, but calling in or having us return your call really isn't a huge leap, and we greatly appreciate folks hanging in there while we get through this temporary hurdle.

Thanks for taking care of it, psilocyber.
And to other people on this thread, I called up there once to find out when they'd have a certain LC available again and they were more than helpful and so freakin' friendly. I might start calling in my orders just to talk to them again! haha

Agreed, the girl I talked to was super nice and helpful, it was a nice change of pace, online transactions are so impersonal.

OK. Maybe I was a bit dramatic. Talking to a live person is nice once in awhile. But many times I will make spur of the moment purchases while sitting in my easy chair and browsing the site. That's where online purchasing comes in handy. It's usually after hours when I do that. And I have to admit, I have always been extremely happy with all my purchases from Sporeworks. That Halloween special ROCKED!

I have NEVER gotten a clear syringe from sporeworks in all the years I dealt with them and with this special I received a clear PEU syringe that's kind of concerning. Hopefully my microscope reveals some spores. I was hoping to get at least one exotic only got cubes (multiples of some). I expected the mutiples I have gotten multiples with every trick or treat special for the past 3 years I just trade them off. Not bitching no big deal.
The box mine came in was soaking wet and crushed. I thought one of the syringes had leaked out and I was pissed about that but when I opened the box everything was A-OK. Thank goodness. Damn shipping companies.
I had made a post before I ordered this year that I was curious about what type of candy I would get this year and I guess sporeworks didn't give any candy away this year. Not bitching about this I don't care. I don't even eat candy was just curious what they would give out lol.

Hammond spore syringes should be back up and available this week (or next week at the latest). We're hoping to have fresh prints soon as well!
All the Trick or Treat specials should all have candy in them! Seriously, if it was missed, it must have been a mistake. FWIW< this year we gave out a bunch of candy corn (do you know how hard it is to find candy corn in small serving packets?). We also had some mix candy with smarties, gobstoppers, sprees.
We are working to update the site with some new payment information and we should have direct CC processing back up and running shortly. However in the meantime, we have begun accepting Bitcoin, and are currently offering a great 20% coupon code for mail orders (post to come soon).
This last week has been very busy for us and we greatly appreciate everyone's patience with calling in their orders!

Tried making a separate post with no luck on getting a reply and also used the "contact " feature on Sporeworks website with no reply so I'll try asking here. I ordered the Halloween special. I received a cold weather shiitake and one that just says "shiitake". What are the proper colonization/fruiting temperatures for these two strains? Thanks!

As mentioned above, I received a cold weather shiitake. I can't believe how incredibly aggressive it is! Much faster colonization than the pearl oyster they also sent, which really surprised me. Sporeworks is the best!

Sometimes it takes them a little while, but they always seem to resolve the issue. You may have to be persistent though.

I've worked with sporeworks for over 10 years. I know the ropes, it's just frustrating sometimes. If i send an email i get the same response every single time. When i send a message directly to a person, i usually get a better response.

I know that I'm extra late for this, but I've been on vacation and only just now got around to opening my package, pretty disappointed to be honest as I mostly got cubes and didn't want any.
I asked for sclerotia and panaeolus.
3 cube syringes 1 cube print 2 edible cultures (lion's mane and ghost fungus, already have one and you can't even eat the other one?) and a single pan print.
Guess I'm glad I got one.
Don't think I'll be participating in another one of these however, not sure how I could have been more specific about not wanting any cubensis besides just saying "no cubensis", maybe then I would have had a higher chance of getting what I want, since asking for it doesn't work.

Damn! Wish I could take that long of a vacation  I'm thinking there could have been a mistake with your order. Did you bother to contact them?

That's too bad that you didn't get everything you wanted. Sounds like a mistake. You still got a ton of good stuff though! Trade it on the marketplace!
