Pros & Cons
Pros
The mushrooms taste great and we fried them, used with spaghetti and ate them in a salad. It is in the fridge right now getting ready for round two of growing. Trying for a second harvest now.
The shiitake goes get a little bit of mold. Keep it wrapped in the provided plastic cover.
Cons
If your motivation is culinary, this is not an option that will save you money or make any noticeable flavor difference. Not giftable. Received damages items, need better packaging.
I am sure that is not poisonous or anything. Very little growing (ie very small harvest), and zero regrowing of caps. Second flush and zero results.
Highlights
Quality
Can not tell about the taste but so fare i’m excited and very happy
I wish it came with the seed powder or paste or whatever they put on the logs so that i could add more when they no longer produced
Price
I hope to get several harvests to make this worth the cost
Shipping
It was exciting to see the fast growth
Packaging/appearance
Started growing right out of the package
Started fruiting right out of the box
Competitiveness
Started aprox 5 days after cutting the hole

The tent doesnt do a great job of retaining humidity so its really only good as a temporary solution
