Comments about Shiitake Mushroom Kit:
Purchased as a gift for my son's family, this mushroom kit produced a healthy crop within the first 3 weeks. My 6-year-old grand-daughter has lots of questions about how the mushrooms grow, what the growing medium is, how this kit provides a different growing environment from mushrooms growing in the wild. Of course, using the first harvest on pizza was not only tasty, it helped the children learn about uses of this interesting food crop.
Pros
- Convenient
Cons
Best Uses
Comments about Shiitake Mushroom Kit:
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter who wanted to try growing mushrooms with her young sons.
The "mushroom block" is convenient for first time growers and the mushrooms taste good. My grandsons have enjoyed watching new mushrooms appear and grow.

Comments about Shiitake Mushroom Kit:
Clearly, other people here managed to get mushrooms from their kit, but even though I followed the instructions, it didn't work for me. After many weeks, I had a block of, well, slime, with little resemblance to mushrooms. It's a neat idea and would make a great gift. I wish it had worked.

Comments about Shiitake Mushroom Kit:
I had a good 1st crop(4 c. dried/sliced) despite mostly growing on one side. I think that side got too much light. I did have a difficult time finding a handy location (needs misting 3-4X/d)that had indirect light and was not in my way! We made a wild rice, shitake dish last night and they were amzzing--none of the "dusty" flavor of store-bought ones.

Comments about Shiitake Mushroom Kit:
I purchased this kit for my husband as a Christmas gift. He's a "master gardener" and loved the idea of growing his own mushrooms. So far, so good - we're seeing the first mushroom to emerge and look forward to more!
