A mushroom grow kit contains everything you need to simply grow your own mushrooms at home. We designed this kit with the beginner home-grower in mind. Everything you need is included, no special equipment or prior knowledge is necessary.

The suggested shelf life is approximately 8-12 weeks, though they don't go "bad" for much longer. We say this timing to reduce the chance that the mushrooms will escape and start growing from the box before they are activated, which only happens on the rarest of occasions. If this does happen it's not an issue, doesn't create a mess and we're happy to replace any kits this happens to. If you do have to store the kit, we recommend you keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

We guarantee at least one crop from your kit, with most kits averaging two - four crops depending on the species you choose to cultivate. To succeed, be patient, diligently follow the instructions, and create a consistently humid environment for your mushrooms. We recommend adding 1 cup of water into the X cut after each harvest to keep your block hydrated.

Your initial flush can typically range from 1/2 pound to 2 pounds, though this varies significantly depending on the species and environmental conditions. Your level of care in maintaining the kit plays a crucial role. Subsequent fruitings are likely to be smaller as the fungi depletes the nutrients and water in the substrate.
