“The Shroomery gives good reviews only to sites that...”

The Shroomery gives good reviews only to sites that advertise with them. I bought from 2 of their sponsors and both times I was misled. They are a good source of information but they are biased in favor of sites that advertise with them. You can't trust their recommendations. If you pay them they will say great things about any website no matter how bad they really are. Very misleading.

Aw man I hate to hear this because it's certainly not what we're going for! We do vouch for and stand behind our sponsors, but it's not because they pay us to say they're good, it's because we perform background checks, place secret shopper orders, solicit for public feedback, and monitor their ongoing performance to ensure we can recommend them with pride. Some of our sponsors have been with us for over 17 years so we've known these folks a long time! If there's ever any kind of problem or dispute, please reach out to us at admin@shroomery.org. Chances are we can help facilitate a resolution, but we also have dropped sponsors when their quality and service suffered a decline. Either way we want to hear about it. And I hope this discouraging experience didn't dissuade you from the fun and rewarding hobby of mycology!

micro-supply.com and microsporetech.com are owned by the same outfit in Las Vegas. The have been around for 10+ years. I've never had a problem with them. I just ordered from them about 10 days ago. By the time I got my package out of the mailbox the syringes where frozen solid. It's very cold in MI right now. I explained it to them and they sent me another one with signature required. The mail carrier brought it to my door instead of leaving in my mailbox where they could freeze again. Great service.
