Spore works is just a con man scam site.
They claim to sell spores just for microscopy, which nobody in the world believes.
I've tried them a couple times and all I recieved was contaminated spore syringes.
You have zero recourse with them when you get ripped off. You can't contact them about the problem, they just laugh and say too bad sucker.
It's a scam when you sell products that aren't what they're supposed to be and then there is nothing you can do about it. They absolutely WILL NOT TALK to you about the product. They say what they sell is strictly for looking at under a microscope, NOT FOR GROWING.
It must be nice to sell a fake product, then tell the customers to shut up and go away.
Don't waste your time or money at this business, it's just a scam operation.

Fast deliveries and great customer service for the last 6 years I've used them. Spores are viable and clean and the only vendor I've tried that direct to liquid culture works nearly every time without contamination. I'm compelled to post a review because of the odd distribution of reviews, mostly 5 stars and then a recent glut of 1 stars. This is almost certainly fake reviews to lower the competitive edge of a top vendor. The magic spore/culture business is now exploding with new and often shady businesses after the relaxation of drug laws in many states. It is sad, but it is what it is. As long as I get what I order and the quality is good, I will continue to order from sporeworks.

I've been ordering from them for well over a decade. Their product is clean, and I've never had an issue with them with respect to customer service. Many people who have issues later realize that their technique was the problem and that the vendor was fine. Mushroom cultivation ain't easy - trial and error are a part of the journey.

Scammers. The syringe I received didn’t even look like anything I’ve had in the past but I tried it anyway. Absolutely nothing, zero activity. What a waste of time and money. They will not respond to my email either.

It’s been 7 days and I still haven’t received my order

I ordered the mycology 4 pack for microscopy and it was fantastic. I have inspected all under a microscope for purity and all ive found is spores and water will definitely order again.

Ordered spores, but they shipped them to themselves ( UPS tracking told me.) and never answered their email or phone. Lost out on $40. Stay away from this company!

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. 😴

sporeworks rocks. spores rock. liquid culture is great too.

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

Been doing business with SW for 20 years! Best in the industry.

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.

So: I've read every single *one star* review on this site and I must say--those people leaving them clearly do not know what they are talking about... They simply are not using these spores for their intended purpose: MICROSCOPY USE ONLY. :-) :-) :-)
The customer service is top notch and they ship super fast via USPS and UPS.
In our lab, my colleagues and I have been able to create many specimens of note and we look forward to each year's offering of dry prints + syringes, packed fresh and **thick** with spores.
Kind of incredible, if you ask me!
Also, I think this company is the oldest **premium** spore provider in the US (est. 1998)! Thank you Spore Works!!!

I've been using Sporeworks for almost 10 years. I've personally worked with almost all their strains. Bought the same mss multiple times as well. I'd estimate I've ordered and used 30-40 of their mss syringes (for microscopy purposes only of course) over the years. I've never, not once had a bad syringe. I've never, not once gotten a "dirty" syringe. I have had one order where I received the wrong specimens. Contacted them, and they sent me the correct ones immediately.

I assure you, any negative reviews stem from operator error or perhaps other suppliers looking to smear their name. If you're still in doubt, get on social media and search their name amongst knowledgeable people. You'll quickly find out the truth. They are unequivocally the most reputable company operating in the space and it's not close.

Ordered 12 syringes and spent over $150 with this company, not a single syringe produced anything. Sporeworks are scammers, with fake and fraudulent products, save your hard earned money and find a reputable source. All 5 star are likely fake bot reviews.

Scam company.
Order contained inactive and likely contaminated spore particulate /material.

They present themselves as legit with this lie & false narrative blanket-statement of “as long as you only use the material for microscopy” and do not have “results” or other gobbledygook to CYA (cover your ass) (their ass) so they aren’t held legally accountable for selling psilocybin spores for further research into legit professional use.
Called for refund or a shipment of a new active spore syringe for micro-use, etc.

Was given the form letter lecture by woman on phone, accusing me of presumption’s on her end and the literally hung-up on.

I’ll take this issue to the BBB & also to my credit card company and report as fraud.

Good luck with your company.
All the five-star reviews are fake.& so robotic in their praise, while the one star reviews are specific & detailed issues with similar problems (obvious fraudulent activity).

Please, ladies of Sporeworks…do not return with your form-letter generic response to this review with more empty guarantees & lies.
