Customer Reviews
I bought this as a gift and they absolutely loved it! The mushrooms cook up lovely and really do have a bacon like taste. Very happy I purchased this and recommend them interested in growing their own.
I enjoyed watching them grow, but mostly eating them, they are tasty!
The pink oyster is really productive. First harvest almost covers the tire side in fruit. Couple more days to harvest then time to flip. At the same time I cold shocked an italian oyster which is now well on its way to another harvest.
The kit grew beautifully. I had written to get some support on when to harvest the mushrooms and the response was almost instant. This is a great experience for anyone who has ever wondered what it feels like to grow your own mushrooms. The only constructive feedback I would give is to have a link to a video showing how to setup the kit. I went to YouTube and found a video from JCB Mushrooms showing how to set it up. Although for some the instructions on paper is good enough. Lets just say I was a little worried I would get it wrong so I needed to see the video. The pink oyster mushrooms I sautéed them on low-medium flame in olive oil, chipotle pepper pwd & garlic powder and they tasted delicious and had them for breakfast. I have got 2 rounds already from the kit and I feel there maybe a 3rd round coming. Thank you for the experience.
We purchased this for a family member that has everything. This was an awesome gift for him. He loves cooking and he had never seen these kits before. He loved it!
