Super fast shipping and the growth on their plates is stellar. Highly recommended!!

Stellar seller with phenomenal follow through, excellent communication and fast shipping. Very Pleased! I will be back.

I want to thank Controlled Chaos Genetics for the awesome research plates and the freebies. Looks like I’ll have my work cut out for me far a little bit.

Fast service.+ Extras. Absolutely recommend MoonDaddy and Fungus Frequency!

Timbit should be dubbed The New MVP! Absolutely picture perfect fruits that grow into giants! Big respect to The Fungus Frequency for this stunning genetic!

Sporeswaps is definitely a highly recommended place to source microscopy materials. Easy to use, very wide selection with great vendors that want to make sure the customer has a good experience with their orders. Only improvement I would suggest is maybe a way to search the site. If your on the fence about putting in your first order like I was , you won’t regret it and will be back for more . Thanks Sporeswaps and all the vendors here doing awesome work.

Both excellent Vendors that shipped very fast and discreetly. Packaged well and securely. I highly recommend both of them, and they also have a really good selection of microscopy materials to look at !

Is a really good vendor, fast and discreet shipping. The microscopy research materials were well packed and labeled and also included a cool sticker and gift. Will order again and highly recommend you give them a try!

Just received mhape and Lucid Fish. Super excited. quick delivery very professional light swab no gill lol. shipping price is better than the rest. cant wait to send pics to B.C.

Awesome site with about any strain you can think of at an awesome price safe secure and timely delivery would highly recommend

I’ve made a couple orders over the years with this group, and each time has been pleasant, professional, and remarkably fast. These vendors take their roles seriously, and they deliver a consistently high-quality product each time. Many vendors will go out of their way to make sure you feel valued as a customer with perks like including extra freebies, or giving samples of new products, or just including a hand-written “Thanks for your order” message on the pay slip. Actively trying to develop relationships with your customers is huge, in my book, and I appreciate the attention to detail these vendors pay to provide good results, and with regular frequency.

SporeSwap is a trusted resource for finding the best vendors who genuinely care about their customers. I’m relatively new to mycology but through trial and error I’ve learned that genetics are hugely important. Vendors here have vast experience and generously share their knowledge. Every order has come with an extra surprise and fun stickers, which add a personal touch. They decorate my space and are excellent reminders of how fun it is to learn and grow. Thank you all for the work you do. 💕

My original order had a hiccup but happi made it right ASAP! Great customer service and all around friendly guy!

Just got my spores from Happi Hyphae. They arrived faster than expected and packed full of extra awesomeness. Happi Hyphae is another fantastic vendor on sporeswaps I definitely would recommend

I want to say Many Thanks To Sporeswaps and Controlled Chaos! I’m convinced you guys make the world a better place! My order got to me really fast beautiful looking and clean and I got the special freebie I was told to expect which is just fantastic! Mush loves ! Thank you !

My flushes came out huge and strong

Thankful I found this website I live in a state where it’s not easy to get anything for research purposes, I have ordered from multiple vendors everyone of them has been amazing free gifts and answer my questions very quick could not ask for more

The vendors on Spores Swaps are processional and very responsive.

I have ordered from several vendors all very good!

Controlled Chaos Genetics

Betty Blue

Oregon Foraged

The Purple Spore

Mr. Mycelium

MotherMycelia

Emma’s Myco Thecary

Mushroom Empire

I purchased 2 x 2Lb Research Grain Bag (4Lb) from Mushroom Empire.

I am amazed at the speed of colonization with the drippy corn.

After 8 days bag almost completely colonized.

A fantastic offering from Mushroom Empire.

So impressed, I ordered 2 more bags.

2Lb Drippy Corn Bag Made To Order.

Bags Will Be Inoculated Within 24 Hours After Ordering.

I ordered a couple different genetics from the happy huphae store. I am very pleased with what I got. I received tiny vials with a bunch of agar pieces cut up and put into. I’m used to getting syringes so this was different for me. But I’m in the habit of always putting new material onto agar in my flowhood when I receive it. And all the genetics were clean and grew very well on my agar. I’m definetly getting more in the future thanks a lot yall.

I’m 100% blown away by the quality of the products and the speed of the shipping. You cannot go wrong with Basement Culture. And the extras are very much appreciated. Thanks for everything!

Purchased Green cap nats and this was the cleanest culture I have ever received. 1st agar plate was perfect, I used it to make multiple plates and went straight to grain jars. Didn’t have to clean it up at all. Would highly recommend.

I had an issue with a lost package from USPS (not the vendors fault). FossGenLabs was very responsive and replaced the package ASAP + sent a bunch of extra goodies. Amazing service! Thank You!

I’ve ordered supplies from a few different vendors on sporeswaps an they’re all top notch. Most recently LC from Blue Bear Mycology. Only negative I’ve experienced is the wait for Bear Snax to be available.

Just wanted to call out Happi Hyphae was quick to ship and and over delivered. Honestly cannot ask for better service. Sporeswaps in general has been delightful to do business with.

Controlled Chaos, moondaddy genetics and K Ray’s Genetics have the best customer service you could ask for they are very attentive and communicate very well. Thank yall for serving the community!

I’m so glad I found this site, and your store. With a wide arrange of products, and options that will easily fill my microscopy needs (obsession now).

Exemplary service, love your store, will order more later.

I hope your business, and endeavors continue to grow~

I ordered 2 all in one bags for my first time on this site . So far what I can say is fast and accurate service and I had a question and the vendor bearded grower got back to me within hours .i am very happy so far. I will leave a review once I use the product. 🙂

Great selection shipped quickly l like the personal touch and came with a gift I will be ordering again

Very happy with my order from Happi!

I had previously ordered from another someone else who is well known and got nothing but did get a refund so I got to admit I was a little skeptical of the process.

Happi was quick to send the product! Everything was clean and has grown out wonderfully. I couldn’t be happier!!

Got my order with extras in no time at all! Thank u man!

They shipped fast and even gave a free gift of another strain on an agar plate. I thought I had initially received the wrong order and I reached out to them, they responded quickly to my email and also gave me some resources they offer for beginners like myself.

Absolutely the most wonderful company I have dealt with when it comes to the wonderful world of myology.. I also was very surprised to see that I got a bonus in my order which I want to say personally thank you very much. You don’t see that anymore nowadays.. I will be a loyal customer from here on out thank you very much for reminding me of the good old days when companies treated the consumer like they mattered..

Placed an order with Fossgen, an order for 1 swab. Got a cool sticker, a couple plastic dinosaurs, and 4 swabs. My order was received earlier than I expected. My orders will be placed with Fossgen from now on.

Love those guys

Great service ,huge selection, and fair prices . What more do you need I have ordered from this store more than once with no issues thanks

I placed my order and it came super fast. Not to mention the superior customer service. I had a couple questions and they answered my emails back within the hour. They accidentally left one piece out of my order, I contacted them and had the most pleasant experience. We both agreed that accidents happen and we are all human, they sent my package out Monday and i got it Wednesday and it had extra freebies in it. 😁 They definitely earned a customer for life right here.

The Purple Spore, Thank you. I got more than I expected. Blessings to you 🙏 I’m more than grateful. Wow!

Order arrived fast (2-3 days). It had a heartfelt note which I also appreciate. Thank you Happi Hyphae 🙏. I recommend Happi.

Great service and fast delivery exactly as ordered with a large selection of exotics will definitely be ordering again

Highly advise using this company for your myco needs.

The first order I placed with this company was mishandled by the usps through no fault of Mr. Mycelium. When the proprietor found out he was very apologetic and responded immediately with a replacement order that arrived super fast with a bonus. Because of the excellent service, product and quick response, I’ve since placed a larger order which arrived today. I will certainly be doing more business with him.

Tastee hooked it up with the 15 $ mystery box , swabs are saturated , exactly like pictured , the print is textbook , the prices can’t be questioned , and his packaging/shipping are well put together and fast

Tastee Spores is dope …

If your lucky enough to come across Mr.mycelium like I did know you just came across the HOLY GRAIL of liquid culture genetics at an affordable price Mr.mycelium is guru

I have used this site multiple times and used a few vendors and the communication and quality has always been top notch and it is my home for my mycology genetics

Great packaging,great shipping times, and great customer services Emma’s myco thecary is the real deal great prices and great people will order again real soon. This whole site is the best wont use anyone else.

I was really excited to get my package. When I opened it up, that excitement increased 1000x. Not only were the items I ordered professionally packaged and beautiful as ever, there were some unexpected bonus’ in there as well!! I can not thank you enough and look forward to seeing your new work as it is released. Thank you, good sir. You are a gift to humanity!

His plates are stunning! Just as pictured! Everything came super quick and well packed with a generous surprise.

Superior statue when it comes to customer service and superior product as well. Cleanest LC i have ever seen under a microscope and they gave me another one for free that was perfect as well. Definitely worth every penny. BIO TRON FOR THE WIN 🏆

This time I ordered from the purple spore, MICoFroots, Controlled chaos genetics, BF genetics, keystone mushrooms, elevated mycology store and Dr Ed’s spore shop. I ordered 19 different genetics. always a pleasure doing business with these vendors. I have no need to venture elsewhere thank you all vendors

Quality Genetics matched only by the top quality of customer service. Moondaddy is all about his craft and I look forward to experimenting with his hard work !

The vendor is one of the best on Spore Swaps. They go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. Very fast shipping as well. My AMG agar plates are growing pins; in under a month. That’s how strong their genetics are. Very lucky and cool to observe.

Everything is easy and secure with this site. All sellers are reliable, quality products and responsiveness too. It’s incredible to be able to find so many products on a single site and with sellers who make international shipments!!! From now on, I only go through this site. You are the best.

I don’t know how successful I’m going to be at growing, but these folks are awesome. They ship as soon as they get the payment, they answer you back if you have any questions, and they sent me an extra liquid culture syringe for free. If I have any luck with this new hobby, I will definitely be a returning customer ❤️🖤❤️

Great service Great packaging from mother mycelia probably some of the best looking l.c syringes I’ve ever seen for purchase. Jam pack full of mycelium and cam with alcohol swabs to its the little things that make a good seller 5 stars will be back soon thanks again Peaceee!

Sherry Berry…. U run a great ship man! Thank you!!!

There was a little mishap but they made it right and in a timely manner can’t complain

Nice packaging and excellent customer service. Followed up with me when there was some confusion with the post office.

The Pan Man just arrived and is already kicking ass & taking names. I have been corresponding with the Pan Man for a few days now discussing an order. He is going to take care of me like a true Mico Viking would!!! No misunderstanding or screwed up order. He is on point with his Pan game. Not many people knows Pans like him. Sporeswaps has had this little void with the absence of all the other Panaeolus subspecies out there. Ive known it & if you know what im talking about, you’ve felt it too. The Pan Man has filled this void like no one else could. I haven’t seen this amount of Pan subspecies all in one place, in my life. We are all set. And he hasnt finished with his list. There is more to come!!! I mean come on!!!! Our wish has been fullfilled!!!! He is the man of Pans & he is all ours! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I a purchase with micofroots and couldn’t be happier. I bought two lc genetics, and received extra gifts as well! Awesome people to work with.

I have come to trust these company’s have had personal conversations with some of them everyone has held up to there end of the deal and almost always better deal than you can imagine love the support and time taken there the best and truly care about there customers

Not only does he provide knowledge from his discoveries with semilanceata in detail for all , he is also a provider of a quality product. He is fast at sending out and easily approachable

The suppliers with spore swap have been the greatest people to work with most all will answer any questions you have regarding your research supply’s

There very knowledgeable I don’t order spores anyplace else any more and the quality quantity and the amount of products offered is mind boggling

Exceptional beyond reason.

Love the genetics so far that were sent out. Thanks!! Highly recommended by someone who has been in mycology for years now. Order with confidence.

Give a shout to ControlledChaos Genetics. Ordered a galactic gorilla plate, and a albino makilla gorilla tub and they went ahead and hooked it up with an albino makilla gorilla clone plate instead plus threw in an extra tube of something labeled Maya. As always great service and communication. Almost exclusively buy from these guys

First time buyer and will be a repeat customer. If you want fast and great service but bottom line amazing genetics buy from Controlled Chaos. I received P.nat and a couple LC syringes put them to agar and teo days later it’s taking off ! Amazing growth. I highly recommend

I love this site. So much to choose from and prices are great. Every vendor I’ve used has been great. I see no reason to shop anywhere else.

I love spore swaps! I just ordered from moon daddy and I am not disappointed at all. I think I found my new favorite vendor. Amazing!

Ordered and got the product in timely manor and exactly as described!

Placed order, quick shipping, perfect transaction

There is a very good vendor of research grain. I believe it was Mycology Supply. 5 lbs of fully colonized research grain and Chris seams like a real straight forward guy to deal with.

This vendor goes out of there way to make sure there customers are happy. I been waiting on a order to ship for a little over a week, not an issue because I understand sometimes the genetics won’t cooperate, but this vendor not only completed my order but hooked it up with extras, they also kept in close contact with regular updates. And the genetics are always top notch. Highly recommend controlled chaos genetics!

No contamination. Fast growth. Pure success.

Im not going to any other vendor as long as I am in this hobby. Simply the best!

I am stunned by the rapidity with which the product arrived! Stunned. My new favorite vendor….

I ordered and hadn’t heard back for a few days, so reached out to Kenny. Awesome dude. Genetics were sent out the same day and included surprise bonus genetics. Good stuff!!

Highly recommended. Will order again!

to start off with the fact i’ve never seen such amazing genetics in my life just blows me away. He knows his mycology. Just check out the pictures on his pages. They speak for themselves. His customer service is the best there is. I’ve never met him but from just dealing with him has shown me some people actually do care about their customers. You’re not just a number that can be replaced when you think you have an issue. He makes sure there are no issues. He makes sure you get what you pay for and then some. He makes sure you will come back for more. His mushrooms will grow you into more of a spiritual person than you ever thought you could become. MoonDaddyMyco has won me over like I never thought a mushroom genetics vendor could ever do.

Fast shipping, top notch quality, absolutely nothing to complain about. This will be a go to vendor for me. I refer anyone that asks where I shop 🙂

These guys go above and beyond! Prompt shipping and they go the extra mile. Thanks BTV you guys are awesome can’t wait to get started with my research!

If you want spores, Dr Ed is the man !! Got my first order all the way from Thailand….. absolutely no problem. he’s also got a great YouTube channel. Thanks Ed. Great work.

Got my order today. so excited !! The plates look absolutely stellar. The mycelium is strong rhizo growth that is healthy and edge to edge. Thank you. Great job !!

I have my order in and will start watching videos on growing. I am sure I’ll be ordering more needed items in the near future to get this project off the ground.

It all started with. Lid. MicoFroots is 💯. You want a Vendor you can trust and have no worries F#&#+ look no further. This vendor is the Truth. And a leader see for yourself

No one can compare to Smokey mountain myco !! Idk what he does but it’s very consistent with no contam and a mature product

I buy ALOT of LC and I’ve bought from so many but nobody has a better product than these guys !!! They’re consistent and u can tell they put their heart into their product …. They are definitely my ppl !!

The overall spore swaps website and FB group are somehow offering a triple wammy with the quality of service they are consistently keeping up. Talented vendors that give help and top quality products are what I’ve come to expect to be a certainty with the amount of business and time I’ve shopped the site and followed along as the vendor list has grown to the tasteful selection its become. Good job and keep it up 🤙🤙

Thanks fir all of you! Every vendor is ace!!

This site is the best.

Vendors that have been screened, many of shipping options, and best of all, tons of genetics in every different format. I ordered from Controlled Chaos Genetics, and as to be expected, part of my order would take time to develop, but they were great communicators, and they kept me up to date on my order. Three days after I was told my order shipped, it arrived. Every was well packed and in good shape.

They made a customer for life.

An amazing all in one stop shop for enthusiasts of all kinds,,Certified quality vendors ☝️🔥☝️ who are always looking to make the experience even more enjoyable ❤️

No joke. In terms of price, selection, and quality, this is as good as it gets. I have purchased many times and have only ever been impressed with what I got. I’ve had issues in the past with other established vendor sites, but the quality I’ve gotten here has been as good as if i was trading with a friend. some of the offerings are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. LOVE this site!

It’s great having one place where folks can go to access a large variety of vendors and products without having to worry about getting a subpar product. Vendors are all great about communicating with customers, and there are great deals to be had.

This store is awesome because of the variety of vendors, the vendors provide high quality products, huge selection of products, competitive prices, tested and trusted, and really quick replies. I wish that this store was here years ago.

I’ve bought from multiple vendors and each one has been great. Most include free products and stickers and the genetics are awesome! Really has helped me a lot! Thanks a bunch

So many high quality vendors through this site! Very grateful for all of the hard work to bring a great site with so many options! Mr. Mycelium and Blue Bear are some of my favorite vendors on this site.
