Micro-supply spores any good?

No non-vendor linking please
Just wondering if anyone can vouch for the quality of those spores.

I don't they are a shroomery sponsor. So you can't have that link there. Go with anyone of these sponsors and you have the whole shroomery behind them. http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php

don't order from micro supply. i bought from them, lured into it by the low prices (it was $10 per syringe and $5 shipping for any size order). the syringes i got, you couldn't see any spores in it if there were any, i ended up getting contams and no germinations ever from syringes i used from them. if the syringe wasn't contamed it mighthave been how sloppy i was, but i would tend to think it contamed because it sat there so long and there was no other competition.
so as musher said, jus go to a shroomery sponsor! i would recommend ralphster's. i got a good low price, you could see all sorts of clusters of spores in the syringe.... the only thing is, you have to assemble on the needle yourself which i don't recommend doing in open air. im sure you can do it with success, but i personally wouldn't take that chance so i use my glove box.
sporeworks is good too the needles come attached.
idk wut happened to spores direct though, they were my favorite cuz they would hook u up with one extra free syringe with every order, any size, had low prices, $5 shipping, nice clusters of spores... wut happened to them

In the syringe I got, I can see spores, but after a week I haven't seen any growth yet in my BRF cakes.

Yes they are cheap and very good i recently purchased pink buffalos and pes hawaiians from there and they are incubating and its going good!go for it dude i think its something like $10 a syringe but dude u cant beat the price!mightn ot be as many spores as if you were to pay 20 - 30 bucks but hey its good,atleast they work so u can grow and get your own prints dude its worth it to me but i also ordered from 2 other sites to for 20 a syringe...just a lil more clustered not much though..oh and hey after you use all the spores in one syringe boil some water let it cool and suck it up in the syringe and inoculate with it..i did it!! and it actually worked great its colonizing now!
-------------------- GOTTA LOVE POO CAKES!!!

GUY!!! Do not buy From Micro supply!! It may be Cheaper Than other places!! But their syringes are crap!! last two weeks i ordered one b+ Syringe.. it came like two days after, and when i looked at the syringe it was clear, like water. So im just guessing that the spore is too small for the naked eye to see, i have already putted it in seven jars, one vermiculite the others are bird seeds, and no mycelium at all!!! Just used Our sponsers! and Youll Be safe!

I dont know what to say. but i feel like being nice!!
spores are microscopic so you shouldnt be able to see them individually. if you see spores floating around they are in "clumps". and the more spores that are in the syringe the more chances there could be mold spores also, so in the case of a syringe more is not better. just because you cannot see spores floating around in a syringe does not mean it is viable. if you use a reputable shroomery sponser with proper sterile technique you will be fine. and i doubt a jar of vermiculite is going to do very well, but i guess ya gotta start somewhere, just like the rest of us.

I use Verm with brown rice and I get good results so do not not stress!
Many argue that grains are better for yields and potency but I get more consistent results with verm + rice (but that may be due to my inexperience).....

No. Vermiculite is a mineral containing little to no nutrients. Mix in a ratio with brown rice flour of 2 verm: 1 brown rice flour: 1 water.
There are a few more recipes out there that I think Leopard Man has worked extensively with that still use vermiculite but substitute the brown rice flour for something else. Good luck.
