Spent 900. 6 months of my time growing them all out thinking maybe it's just us. Sent them to friends who are mycologist had them grow some as well. Finally finished up all of the syringes. NONE of their product is good. Eating these shrooms on salads and pizza.

Weird mushroom developed from a PE culture of spores, looked completely different than psilocybin almost like a type of coral mushroom species. Out of 10 colonization's, 1 or 2 were viable products, meaning they actually fruited, while the others never pinned after full colonization. Happened with multiple species from this place, hit or miss, take lots of inoculations with lots of different substrate to get a good chance of finding something nice.

Where's the spores . One little tiny blob in a 10 cc syringe. The other had a light little dusting of what I think are spores. No return phone call .will never do business with this company again. 😴

I think many people need to work on their techniques before blaming the spores. I purchased several syringes to isolate genetics on agar and I had an amazing experience! I did several things wrong to begin with but still have fantastic results with the material I got from Sporeworks. I hope to do more business with them in the future as I get further into microscopy.

I have purchased over 30 syringes from sporeworks in less than 6 months. I wasted the first dozen getting it figured out, but I got it right. I have several containers with various types of mycelium growing. A few pure from the beginning and some rescued from mold and other contaminates and successfully cloned. The problem came with the holiday specials. 4 dead cubensis, 2 each azurescens and cyanescens both good. Then 2 each azurescens and cyanescens all dead and 12 cubensis contaminated with green mold. No more sporeworks

My original review posted below. Sporeworks Customer Service has since gone above and beyond to rectify the situation. They were understanding of the situation and explained their Guarantee and commitment to a quality product. They are replacing the product in a timely manner. I am well pleased with their customer service department and commitment to supplying a viable product. THUMBS UP! I asked for productive product. I can not study the complete cycle if the product will not spawn. I paid good money for the product and in 20 bags, I had no mycelium. I asked for information and all I got was a BS answer that they did not have to provide product for any thing but the microscope.
