After ordering from a previous vendor I was hugely disappointed. So I decided to give MycoTown a go and so far it’s doing nicely. I ordered a 3ml syringe but was sent a 10ml syringe, so I’m not sure if it was an error or an act of kindness. Either way thank you and I appreciate it. I’ll definitely be using them again 🍄
