Review: Beyond Excellent - I ordered the shiitake log and the oyster box for my dad for Father’s Day. He’s an older guy, retired, loves to garden and expressed interest in growing his own mushrooms. Despite him having no experience in growing them previously and being older and not one to reach for google for questions/answers should they arise, it seemed easy enough to start. To my delight- the process seemed extremely easy for him and both products were fruitful within days. The directions were simple enough to understand yet in depth as far as any questions one might have. He was so excited about this process he wanted to learn more and ended up calling the number on the back. He spoke with Andrea and not only was he so thrilled to be talking with a real person, she went above and beyond talking with him about all the details, tips and tricks, what if’s, and other ins and outs. They spoke for over an hour, my mom was able to send her pictures, and she ultimately showed him a kindness and level of patience that is rarely found in this world. Her knowledge, kindness, patience, and overall customer support impressed him and myself so much, that his excitement for these products and the process after this conversation was only inflated more. We will absolutely be ordering more in the future. Their products work just as they say, they are a small business that backs their products, and ultimately the people behind the company are wholesome and kind. No better option out there in my opinion. A huge thank you to the gal who took the time to support and grow my dad’s interest in his new hobby. Review: Great experience growing things together - There was some confusion with receiving the second log ordered but it was resent and it is growing great. I hate mushrooms but I wants the kids to eat things I didn't. So we grew shiitake because I liked a broth once that had what I assumed was shiitake mushrooms. Great idea and it worked not we all eat these mushrooms. ## Features - START GROWING RIGHT AWAY — living Shiitake Mushroom mycelium ("roots") are on the log and they are eager to start growing.

I'm looking at this from an economic standpoint -- so is it cheaper than buying mushrooms at the grocers?** A: I actually got 2 decent harvests from my first one, then I broke the brick apart, blended it with coffee grounds and a sterile (boiled) mixture of wood ships and cardboard, separated it out into 6 bags, let the mycelium take over (call it maybe another 2 weeks) and once I had white bricks, I cut Xs in them and started the water spraying process over again. I got probably 4 lbs over the course of 3 months, so it was fairly worth it for me, but I would recommend having a dedicated grow area if you want to expand and get more harvest for your $ Overall a good kit to start a grow, but it’s not worth it if you just do front and back of the box. I ended up having to stop because spring arrived and so did fruit flies and fruit fly larva, but I’m pretty sure that I got close to the upper end of what was reasonable for the amount of mycelium anyways. **Q: Does this have to be used as soon as received in mail? Will it be effective if received but not used for 1-3 weeks? Trying to time when to buy this.** A: I bought this for my son for Christmas. It arrived early December. I hid it in a closet and wrapped it and it spent a few weeks under the tree. We opened it on Christmas day and it is new years day and we have a large harvest growing...probably will be ready in a few days. It is winter in Ohio with low humidity indoors so that could be part of the reason it kept well. I can imagine that if the bag got wet it could spontaneously sprout, so just keep the box and inside bag dry while you are storing it. **Q: Should this be kept inside the home or in the garage? How long does a batch typically take to grow? What recipes do you use them in?** A: we kept ours in the kitchen.. the first batch took a bit longer because we discovered we did not soak it enough. The second batch only took less than a week. Honestly, we didnt eat them, I procrastinated and didn't pick them soon enough and they wilted. As soon as they grow you almost have to eat them. **Q: Mushrooms grew on the first side in 7 days. Harvested. The carton and plastic fell apart. I put it on a foam plate and put a plastic bag around the entire thing. Misting. Not growing. 9 days second side. Any suggestions?** A: I haven't tried growing the other side yet. We had a major forest fire right after my first harvest, so everything was put on hold. But i had an incredible amount of mushrooms from my first harvest. And even though I quit misting the box, another very large shroom grew out of the box. I'll try the other side soon, after soaking it. Most of all, I learned how to grow these delicious mushrooms. As I live in the forest with many decaying logs around, I can order some spores and have a large harvest. I'm very glad I tried this first. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond Excellent *by R***E on June 21, 2024* I ordered the shiitake log and the oyster box for my dad for Father’s Day.

I hate mushrooms but I wants the kids to eat things I didn't. So we grew shiitake because I liked a broth once that had what I assumed was shiitake mushrooms. Great idea and it worked not we all eat these mushrooms. ### ⭐ Outstanding service and product *by T***H on July 17, 2023* I am the grinch and did purchase this product. At first I had a problem and the Shiitake did not grow right, then I contacted the seller and asked for help. The seller was very understanding and sent me an all new Shiitake grow kit. This grow kit is wonderful, the shiitake are growing fast and wonderful. Thank you thank you. They did not have to replace the product but without me asking they relaced the Shiitake and the product is outstanding. If you want to have a great product and see it grow fast that is healthy. I highly recommend this product. After replacing the product, the product did grow right for couple of days then everything died and I lost everything. I would not purchase from this company again but I am a beginner, if you are an expert it may be ok. Aug 3, 2023 update, I just went to Food City and found Shiitake mushroom there cheap in a package. So, Unless you just want the experience of growing this mushroom. I would state you could purchase this product easier from Food City.
