Sporeworks Weekly Special through September 8th
It's back to school time again! We know how expensive those textbooks can be, so we're going to try and give you a break! Until September 8th, we're taking $10-off the price off the wildly popular and completely indispensable title: Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, Third Edition by Paul Stamets. Considered the "Mushroom Grower's Bible," the GGMM deserves a spot on every mushroom lovers bookshelf. We also continue to feature Media Antibiotic as a "bonus special." Until this lot of Antibiotic is sold, the current pricing will continue.

Sporeworks Weekly Special through May 9th
Well, we're having a temporary shortage of Rye Berries... the local supplier is just plum out of them.

To help get us over this hump we're going to knock 20%-off the Three Pound White Millet Spawn Starter Kits by Everything Mushrooms until May 9th. This discount includes single bags, four packs, and even ten bag packs. That's right... you can get ten Three Pound Millet bags for just $85 bucks plus shipping!

Sporeworks Weekly SPecial through March 28
Well, it looks like we got some Media Antibiotic that is nearing expiration. Best thing we can do with it is mark it down and hope it moves... so until March 28th we're selling our vials of Media Antibiotic for only $5 a pop! Now, does it mean that expired Antibiotic is "bad?" Probably not... this stuff has a date of 04/08 and chances are it won't become magically unstable on May 1rst. It'll probably be good for some time, especially if you keep it stored in the fridge, as we do when it's waiting to be sold. Now for other good news; many things are back in stock, including Psilocybe azurescens : Hammond Strain Flying Saucers spore syringe microscopy kits.
