About Our Kits

Our grow kits arrive fully colonized and ready to fruit. The growing medium is a 5lb block of hardwood sawdust and soybean hulls hydrated to perfection—the same kind we use on our commercial mushroom farm. Professional mycologists have developed robust mushroom strains and inoculated them into the growing medium, under sterile conditions. All you need to do is mist the block with water and fan to provide fresh air. If the block dries out too quickly, you can make a humidity tent with a plastic bag. Our blocks produce reliable and healthy flushes of beautiful mushrooms. Complete, easy-to-follow instructions are included. Ready to ship! Please call or email for a full list of available varieties.

Culinary Flair
If your palate is tired of the bland button mushrooms available everywhere, it's time for for the nutty taste of king trumpets or the lobster-like flavor and delightfully meaty texture of lion’s mane. Improve the presentation of your favorite stir-fry dish, by adding oyster mushrooms, available in a wide array of colors. Oyster mushrooms also make a nice addition to soups or salads. Grow kits are a great way of incorporating hard-to-find, fun and delicious mushrooms into your menu. And they make great gifts for your foodie friends!

Convenience and Economy
Quality gourmet mushrooms can be hard to come by. Supermarkets rarely offer much variety beyond Portobello (aka. button mushrooms, cremini, champignons, etc.) and the occasional shiitake. When you do find oysters or lion’s mane mushrooms, you may experience sticker shock as retailers often charge up to $20 a pound. With our kits, you can grow several pounds of mushrooms at home for roughly the same price.

The Fun Factor
Simply put: Growing mushrooms is TONS of fun. Jump into your new favorite hobby with our ready-to-fruit grow kits. We like to think grow kits are a lot like house plants but for mushrooms! Great for all ages!

Health Benefits
All edible mushrooms are good for you. Mushrooms produce novel compounds that help boost and regulate your immune system. They also produce antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-tumor compounds. Exciting studies show that lion’s mane mushrooms have neuroprotective properties that improve cognitive function and brain health. Reishi mushrooms, turkey tail and many more help balance blood sugar levels. Many mushrooms also support healthy cholesterol and blood pressure. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long used many types of mushrooms to promote good gut bacteria, treat GI ailments and much more.
