    • My son loves them, just as described, repeat buyer, I could not be more happy with my experiences.
Color: Pink
Review Image by Rachel K Rachel K
So, first, if you are expecting to grow the best mushrooms ever, or save a mad amount of money over the grocery store, this is not for you. This is more of a science project, craft kit type deal. You are buying a kit that has everything you need, is easy to use, to amuse, entertain, and learn. I have bought probably 10 of these over the years, because they do indeed amuse and entertain my son. I had never had an issues with them growing. If you have trouble, I'd suggest resoaking, scraping, and water them more like a child excited for them to grow and watching in amazement how they are so much bigger than they were two hours ago. They say mist like twice a day, my son is misting every couple hours, and it is not a light mist at all. Also, when you can no longer see them growing, time to harvest. And don't forget to repeat with all the sides, you might be surprised. Even when I think it is all done, I break it up into a dish, and I will usually still get one more. Now, one of the more recent kits I bought from Amazon was a different story. ok normally, there is a brick of dry substrate, coated with this kind of white or pinkish or brownish crunchy fuzz layer. yeah, it is not pretty but that is why it grows so well. This more recent bag was sealed, but worse, more of a wet sludge, jello, and a little bit of brick left. I knew this wasn't right, but gave it a go. I took pictures in case, because hey, everywhere they say guaranteed to grow, reach out to us, yada yada. needless to say this did not work. So on a Sunday, I emailed the company with the picture, and the lack of growth, expecting I might hear back in a week, probably have to jump through some hoops, after a form letter or two, from someone who doesn't speak the same English I speak. Instead, I got an email that day from a very pleasant woman, in the US, who confirmed that was not healthy, looked really old, and entered an order to send me a new kit right away. No receipt request, no hoop jumping. It left the next day, and within 7 days from my email, not only had I heard back on I email, I already had mushrooms growing on the replacement kit, as you can see from the picture. I have not been these pleased and impressed with customer service in like 20 years. So yes, not only does the core product meet the manufacturer's description, with grow indoors, convenient, and easy, but I can now say that they really do honor that part of the description "GUARANTEED TO GROW: Made in the USA and 100% Guaranteed to grow. If you are not satisfied, simply message us and we will send you a Back To The Roots replacement". It really was that easy and super fast. And again, this was just one problem out of like 10 kits. I can also say the give one grow one is honored as well. I find the entire description to be very accurate. Well, except maybe beautiful packaging. It is good packaging, well printed, well worded, but it is still a cardboard box, beautifully packaged is a stretch. Economical, well designed, and very representative of the purpose is more apt. In short, If you or your child likes natural science, and would find it interesting, and get a kick out of how fast they grow once they get going (it is amazing), this is a great product. As long as go in expecting a science kit and not a grocery store or farmers market cost effective replacement, you should be happy. ... show more

    • Loved this!
Color: Pink
The germination rate was incredibly high and we got not one, but two rounds of mushrooms! We also found out that we had an extremely high moisture level in our house by how fast these grew so we were very happy that I tried these out! They also taste really good when you cook them!

    • Came broke into pieces I soaked it and put it in the bag and mushrooms fell off

Last time I bought a cheaper product. Did the same thing as I did to this one. I got tons of mushrooms all the way up and down the log. I only went to this one because I know the name brands more popular. This one came broken. I soaked it in ice cold Duck and Goose pool water. Four or five pieces of the mushroom fell off the log. Also unlike the other one this one came broken into two pieces. I wish I never tried out this name brand. Now I got to go through the hassle of returning it. It's amazing how downhill this product name has gone. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. It's pretty cool for sure , for the price not really worth it . I feel other reviews have said this . In the instructions it says to put scratches on the surface, well for me nothing grew where I scratched.. maybe it was too deep . I have some rotten wood outside so gonna try and keep them going outside. Overall I'd probably get some plugspawn nextime and do it myself outside and have them come back but it is cool to grow them inside not $40 cool though. ... show more

    • Beyond Excellent
Color: Shiitake
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. ... show more

    • One kit did not work
Color: Pink
I have bought these now for almost 5 years as birthday presents for my nieces who love them. They have always worked very well and have produced a lot of mushrooms, however this last box we received was a dud. The sprouting medium seemed shrunken and about half the normal size, and after following all the directions as per usual, never seemed to fully “inflate” and only produced one very small, sad looking mushroom. Am trying to figure out how to get a refund or a replacement kit sent, but difficult to find this information. My niece was extremely disappointed this year and asked “can they just send us another one?” As this one did not work, but honestly this was the first time we have had this issue and I have maybe bought 10 of these over the years. ... show more

I have gotten these multiple times now and they all grew well except for one! The one that did not grow at all got replaced by them and they were very nice about it! They were tasty too! The replacement box they sent had four flushes! It was freakin awesome! Will definitely be back again!
