Just got my package from the Christmas sale. Blown away! 55$ = best price point I have seen for all the samples I received. The data cards were a great touch. It reminded me of my childhood and vintage treasury cards of plants and animals. Plenty of new strains strains I have not studied. The process was strait forward. I went old school option knowing the risk of cash but being old enough to know people are spoiled with all these apps. I was not let down.
Sporeworks Pricey but was not disappointed, looks like a microdrone swarm in the syringe. Great packaging.
Reliable Spores Great prices, excellent process service, bad secondary customer service which made me leave. Syringes are filled to the gills. Great packaging.
MMM Best price, amazing selection, the information cards are a nice touch versus the stickers on the syringe(I use them for art). Shipping was quick, the transaction was smooth, customer service was excellent. The syringes are not as meaty as the two companies above but the price point makes up for it in volume and we are talking microscopic particles. Looks as they say can be deceiving. I think my volume limited the option of a secondary plastic bag but I have seen them break in transportation. Kind of one side or the other since there was an airpad to keep it safe. Contents in perfect shape. All reasons to stick with this vendor.

Thank you my friend! I truly appreciate your review 
I will say that my spore density may not be as much as some of the other vendors, but there are plenty of spores for microscopy work and higher spore density leads to increased contam risk (spore prints are inherently dirty even to some small level, so if you have 5 X as many spores, there is a 5X chance of contam). My customers rarely report contam issues, I am very happy with the density I have been using See my imgur for videos of all batches, there are visible spore clumps. https://imgur.com/user/mushroomman666
To clarify, I do not use plastic packaging around each syringe. Using them is security theater- they serve no purpose (especially syringes individually in baggies) and only increase time and expense which I do not want to move to customers. Additionally, they increase environmental impact unnecessarily. Customers may choose to contain all their syringes in a plastic bag when they receive them, but syringes should always be sanitized before use, so I never saw how individual bags were useful.
I am glad to hear that you received it without issue! Thank you again for supporting and shouting out

Same story here as far as MMM goes! Quick, excellent customer service, zero contam issues and the fucking price point can't be beat! All of these things coupled have totally grabbed me. Matter of fact I have placed a second order already! This is after spending I want to say less than 100 USD and due to dudes generosity I have a small spore library! Shout out to MMM! Solid cat!

My library grows as well. It becomes much like weed strains eventually it will 50 names for 1 thing. I study weed under scope and record the details. So much of it looks the same. I live in a place were there are 100+ strains. That is why I enjoyed MMM. I have zero of the strains I was sent. I enjoyed the little picture card and to be fair you can put the same details in the detail section its a cube.

Just placed an order with MMM (well, two really, again sorry about that) haven’t been active for quite a few years. Looked at the approved vendor page and all my oldies were gone or had dramatically changed, not for the better. Very excited to see how MMM compares to the oldies, but I gotta say this thread gives me pretty high hopes! Love that MMM reads and responds to the forums A++ Getting good vibes already
