Specialty Trio Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit 3-Pack Variety - Beginner Friendly & Easy to Use, Grows in 10 Days | Handmade in California, USA | Top Gardening Gift, Holiday Gift & Unique Gift

We have had a ball with these. Easy to get started and so so so so delicious. It’s hard to go back to normal mushrooms after eating our own fruits of labor

Original review: Only one of the three grew from the first shipment even though we followed the instructions meticulously. The one that grew was great. Easy instructions, but the other two just molded. Expensive for only one pod to grow.First update: wanted to comment on Forest Origins customer service- I found their website, sent an email, uploaded pictures, and they sent 2 new pods to replace the 2 that did not grow. I am hopeful these will grow but appreciate the great customer service.Second update: changed my rating to 5 stars following Forest Origins great customer service and our success growing the 2 replacement kits. These were super yummy and so much fun. Have added pictures of the pink and brown replacement grow kits.

These kits are great for first time mushroom growers. It gets you familiar with how the growth cycle works, how to harvest and how to collect the spores to do it all over again. The pink and white oyster mushrooms grew quickly and provided two flushes (two clusters that I could harvest).The not-so-good:Frustratingly, the brown oyster mushroom never grew. Not only that, but after buying the three mushroom kit I found another resource that sold the same kinds of mushrooms (and more) for a fraction of the price. So, if you wanna do some research to find the best deal, don't buy these. If you just want something to get started with mushroom cultivation and want the easiest path, buy these.

I kept these in the basement with moderate daylight and dark at night. Got lots of tasty mushrooms.

Followed instructions exactly and the mushrooms were visibly growing after 3 days! I'm 5 days in now and they are growing so fast. Very exciting. Worked perfectly. Only 4 stars because price is high on Amazon compared to other websites, but shipping was next day which is a huge benefit.

Those mushrooms are a real delicacy. Here is a brief overview on how the three different types worked for me:1 - the red oyster mushroomThis was a very vigorously growing, highly productive mushroom. I noticed that it even developed a lot of pins on the front underneath the plastic wrapper and -diverting from the instructions - I made a small opening there too and started misting that area as well.The result was that I had two areas on the block to harvest, the regular, where the X mark was and the fron which I cut open. I got a total of just 1 lb in the first flush.That mushroom however developed a bit a fishy odor, it still smelled and looked otherwise quite well. But because at this time of the year I had the block indoors I skipped the 2nd flush. 1 lb anyways sounded like a lot for that small block.We had three meals with it, from a wonderful aromatic mushroom soup, to some some sauteed ones sprinkled on top of a salad to a serious traditional side dish (mushrooms sauteed in butter, garlic and some white wine and a dollop of heavy cream. Heavenly!). They have great texture and strong flavor. If the name "Lobster mushroom" would not have been taken, then this would be a very appropriate name for those.2- The white oyster mushroomGrew also quite vigorous but on this one I did not open another area up but just harvested the main one and am right now soaking it to prepare for the 2nd flush. The white oyster mushrooms are delightful and very versatile in the kitchen. Very mellow flavor and wonderful texture. The first flush got about 0.4 lbs3 - The grey mushroomVery productive as well. I got 2 flushes, the first one being bigger and both together bringing it to about 1 lbs approximately.They were in an area of 63-68 deg most of the time, at night in the fifties sometimes. I misted them more than instructed, just because they were in easy reach. And they seemed to really like it.

I have been growing mushrooms in a tent grow system with a fan for the past few months. I have been ordering grow kits from various companies to find the best one for me. These had good reviews and could be on Subscribe and Save so I thought I would try them. They are small but seem to be producing enough mushrooms for the size BUT the pink and brown oyster are getting mold on the bottom half of the block. Today I cut the bottom half off and hope it controls the mold since the top of the block is fruiting. I have never had this problem before even when my system was over humidifying. Not all the blocks they sell will mold I just think two of the blocks I have were contaminated. The white oyster is not molding nor are the other mushrooms I have in the system.

Yes, these are expensive, but if you are looking for a first time learning experience, look no further.Just like others have said, it is shocking how easy and fast it is to grow these kits. And, bonus: my non-mushroom loving husband went back for SECONDS on the pink oyster variety! Win-win!Pros: super easy to grow. Great taste and texture when prepared.Cons: cost
