T's & C's

Fungi using humans to spread their spores is no new concept, they have employed this mechanism for as long as mobile organisms have roamed this planet. Spores and other microorganisms are everywhere and once ejected from their host parent travel by wind, water, convection, through the bodily waste of animals and exoskeletons and wings of insects.

Here fungi have invaded the internet... It was inevitable.

We are a South African vendor of mushroom spores and cultures. Our focus on providing only the best quality spores and cultured strains from all over the globe along with the cultivation supplies required to start your very own mushroom patch. Service to you, our customer, is very important to us and we will strive to fulfill any special request or suggestions you might have in an effort to 100% customer satisfaction. Feel free to use our contact form or social media pages to get in touch.

Shipping Policy:
Orders are typically processed within 72 working hours after payment receipt and always as quick as possible. Working hours exclude weekends and holidays. Occasional product back-order, month ends, acts of god and special processing times as stated in the webshop may delay your order for a few extra days. We will do our best to inform you if your order is expected to be delayed longer than 10 business days. Door to door courier shipping does not imply overnight.

Local South African Shipments go out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only due to the perishable nature of items and in order to uphold our viability guarantee. This will be open to discretion. We have provided an expedited option for lightweight packages should you require your order to be shipped overnight, courier cut-off 12h00 and subject to processing times.


All Tek kits, Nutrient petri dishes, Mono tubs & Still Air boxes and any special requests are made to order subject to lead times.

International orders are shipped on Mondays only for the same reasons as above.

 

Most items are hand made and takes time to produce which is a patient process. 

We deal with multiple orders at any given time, orders are always filled as quick as possible. Please take this into consideration. 

Your order number shows the number of orders filled and delivered before yours, as will yours.

Contact:
Although we would love to serve you exclusively our attention is divided among many customers. We are not a chat line and available for contact only in emergencies relating to orders. If we are chatting to you we are neglecting someone's order and we like to spend our time filling orders. Answering emails rarely fills orders, if it did we'd happily sit and chat all day.

Occasionally we might slip up but for the most part, if it's not in stock online its not instock. We don't know when unfortunately. We try keep things in stock and updated.

We ask please not to mail us asking when will my order ship, when will I receive my order, has my payment been captured... We will direct those queries here. If you are impatient or have unrealistic views on processing times and email us constantly for updates or "just to follow up" during processing times the relevant order will be canceled and refunded. We simply do not have the manpower to assist with counterproductive queries. We will not be rushed, orders are fulfilled in the order we received which we think is fair and if its not of satisfaction blame the linear flow of our universe, not us.

Feel free to contact for cancelation, substitutions, additions, delivery or address details, details that actually assist in filling your order and other urgent matters.

Customers will receive a shipping confirmation with tracking info once shipped as the order confirmation email you received confirms.

We understand there is always excitement involved in waiting for an order and offer an expedited shipping option if you are in any hurry. Cultivation of fungi is a patient affair, no life or death scenarios here.

We will not reply to any request for cultivation advice in accordance with the laws governing prohibited substances. Any research is your own responsibility. Be mindful of this and considerate if you want a reply. 

 
Cleanliness Guarantee:
Cultured products are sold with cleanliness and viability guarantee (3 months limited by shelf life and within reason), should you find your cultures to be unviable or contaminated please contact us and we will make arrangements for a replacement. Spores for Microscopy products are offered with stability and cleanliness guaranteed (3 months limited by shelf life and within reason). Should you find your spore sample to be unviable or contaminated please contact us and we will make arrangements for a replacement. 

NB. We reserve the right to upgrade any product ordered at our discretion in an effort to fulfill orders in a timely fashion. We will, however, keep this to specific customer preference on species or variant meaning that we will endeavor to supply the exact species ordered but might do so with a better or equivalent product option.
