Mushroom Growing Kit
Mushroom Growing Kit
Grow your own mushrooms at home
The kit arrives ready to grow. Mist it daily with tap water, keep it in indirect light with fresh air, and watch the clusters form.
Oysters in 7 to 10 days, Lion’s Mane in 14 to 21 days.
Ready to grow
Every block is made at our farm in Lawson, from hardwood sawdust out of the timber mill down the road. By the time it reaches you, the mycelium has done the slow part. You give it water and light.
