Scam company! sells relatively nothing in their syringes. Little spores and more moisture means contamination. Also terrible service and they have quite the mouth on them if you ask them for help, as... See more

Not sure why they even bother sending syringes. Just like all the rest, I got syringes of sterile water. Not a spore in them. They might as well have not sent any and stole even more of my money

All water

Same gripe as others, sterile water in a syringe. Any other place I order from you can see the spores floating in the syringe. All 4 were clear as day. The bags I used them on all had zero growth....6 of them and used a half syringe in each bag. Nothing.

I ordered from them with a delivery date in 2 weeks all the way to Europe and it came in 1 week. The envelope had no specific description of the content and was very discreet. Just that it's a sterile sample so I guess they manage to ship anywhere. I'm personally satisfied and will order again once they'll expand their spores variety. Also, one thing to consider, in my experience many bad reviews in my industry is written by competition, and a friend of mine was hired by a video game company to write positive reviews about their products. Not every review comes from an honest source.

Straight trash

Straight trash. I had to look hard to find a single spore and came up with nothing. Crystal clear water in a syringe is what I got ×3. Buyer beware.1

Don't bad mouth them yet they did me right in a few hours

I was about ready to loose my mind over all the bad mouthing that ssome people seemed to give this company.
I had just ordered from them having them being who someone close to me said they got their stuff from.
I'm getting ready to take of and go check out the southern part of Mexico and Belize, Ecuador, and Panama as a place to live on the beach.
I freaked out and emailed this place wanting a tracking number or some status on my order.
You know what by the end of the day I got just that so everything is going to fall into place and I'll have a big ol smile kicking back on the beach. I give them the four stars because I think they read my email about traveling and said hey get this guy his stuff.
Thanks don't be a hater quite yet Myself and the person who recomended them are both happy

Satisfied with a spore print

I ordered a single spore print. Went on trustpilot only after I paid, so reading the reviews I got nervous. But basically, everything worked out. The spores arrived, viable and minimal contamination.

Nope

Im giving them 2 stars cause they eventually did send a syringe, didn't respond to email. Took a while for the order to even process. I can only assume the main company in canada sends a syringe to indiana. Then indiana does a seirial dillution to make more syringes because ive been doing this since the first pf tek ad in hightimes came out in the mid 90 and i have never seen a less spore filled syringe in my life. Like the other guy said it looks like plain water. No contam on my plates but no growth either. The canadian side of their business seems to have good reviews but if you're in the U.S. use somewhere else id say.

Disappointing

I have used spores101 several times over the last 10 years. My recent order was disappointing, and it is obvious their standards have slipped. Very little specimens compared to past orders, and recent orders elsewhere. Disappointing.

Horrible

Horrible. Ordered 15 multispore syringes, they literally sent water. Not a single one produced any mycelium, either on agar or grains. It was a joke. For 150$ you’d think they would at least respond. Giant rip off. Don’t trust these hacks.

For everyone complaining about…

For everyone complaining about Spores101 should consider their sterilization and how anything can go wrong if you don't create a good environment for mycelium to grow. This company is courteous and if anything goes wrong they are happy to give great information and help however they can. They are kind and working hard in pandemic times! I appreciate the customer service and can attest that people complaining about their syringes are sorely mistaken! Try for yourself!

Shipment was sent but lost in the mail

Shipment was sent but lost in the mail. The tracking number they provided showed that the item was lost. I called and called and wrote a couple of emails. They did absolutely nothing to help and now I'm out my money.

Poor service

Bought spores, was never told the spores had shipped. So the package was in extreme heat for god knows how long. Tried them, got nothing. I'll try a different company and not recommend spores 101.

Spores101 was recommended to me by a friend and I placed an order, but then started reading some of the reviews and read how some ppl mentioned getting bad samples or not receiving their order. I thought that I had made a mistake by choosing them and probably just wasted my my money, but no I found their customers service to be informative and they'd replied quickly.
I have no complaints with them whatsoever or their products.

dont Waist your money

Ordered spores from them have been doing mycology for approximately 7 years now and have not seen a more pathetic spore syringe arrive at my door I gave the benefit of the doubt with these guys tried 1ml all the way to a full 10ml have been waiting ruffly 2-3 months for mycelium growth out of any of my bags and jars and have nothing do not buy from them if you want to waist your money go to Walmart and overpay for a water bottle it will have more use than spores101 spore syringes.
