    I bought this last week so I haven’t had a chance to grow them I am excited to grow mushrooms that I know are not poisonous. I did buy it because it was 50% off. I would not have paid full price to try it. I can update this review after I try growing them. .

    Very poor yield. Don't waste your money on this.
    I followed the instructions on the box and I also signed up for the growing tips via text. After 2 weeks I was able to harvest 5 small mushrooms. Hardly worth the $14.99 price tag. Save your money and time and avoid this product.

    Hi Chas! We're sorry to hear you weren't entirely satisfied with your mushroom grow kit; each kit is different, but you should have 1 to 2 servings of mushrooms, or around 3 ounces. If you don't feel like you got that, please reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com with a photo of your kit and your harvest, so we can help you grow. If you did have a smaller crop, we can help you with a replacement and tips for growing. BacktotheRoots

      I purchased this as a gift for friends who absolutely love mushrooms and add them to nearly every dish they make. I’m awaiting their response and anticipate very positive feedback once they start the process!

      Didn’t grow at all. I followed the instructions, but no results. So sad, because I was looking forward to grow the mushrooms.

      It took about one week before we harvested the mushrooms. It’s amazing how much better they taste than ones we buy at the store.

      Bag was full of liquid!!
      I opened my box tonight to soak it overnight. When I pulled the bag out it was not a hard block as I was expecting, it was all mushy with tons of water in the bag. How does that even happen??? This was a complete waste of time.

            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit was so much fun for my family. We were able to follow the instructions and after seeing them grown i was even able to get my picky eater to try some of them in two different meals. The kit came with everything that you need and I was even able to use it a second harvest.

                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately this did not work well for me. It may have been the unusually humidity that we had during this time but they just didn’t work for me.
