Bought another box.. waiting to see still what happens but started growing already before opening the box.. little bit dissapointed but still confident about getting a decent harvest..

This was stupidly easy to grow... not rocket science at all..
Kept it in a room, curtains drawn, but enough light and sprayed it every second day...

Also, the only thing that grew was a brown contaminant fungi from the bottom. Very disappointed.

Bought this over a month ago and all i got was a brown streak down the front. Definitely wont be doing this again

Fun to grow and taste great!

I loved this product! So easy to use. I tried to grow it in Durban summer however so struggled to get the right climate. Even so I got three decent yields of huge happy mushrooms. A wonderful gift for a mushroom lover

Bought this for a friend and he is loving the whole experience. Thanks for a cool gifting option!

My order arrived before I expected it to - thumbs up to that.
Still waiting for my mushrooms to appear but have high hopes as it is only 6 days now.
Perhaps Mushroom Factory could put a warning on the outside of the box about removing the outer plastic bag in the box.
Another review spoke about it so then I checked mine.

Followed instructions to the letter - all that happened was straw turned different shades of mould. Not a mushroom in sight. Waste of time, effort and money. Threw it away.

I bought this for my boyfriend down in Cape Town, coincidentally someone gave it to me as a gift up in joburg... each of us followed the instructions and have seen no results... no mushrooms whatsoever... I don’t think the growing process is as easy as one might think... so be mindful of that before you purchase this!

This was my first ever product I've bought from Faithful to Nature and... IT'S AMAZING! Love it!! Now that I saw it's price is a bit less I'm going to order again!! Love these mushrooms and love the "dyi-process" to bits!!

I got this for my mother as a birthday present and she is loving the process. Can't wait for the mushrooms to grow!

I bought this as a gift, but I took over caring for it as it was just so much fun. We harvested our first flush recently and the mushrooms were delicious. This is a good gift for an adult but I imagine it would also be a fun project for children. One improvement would be to tweak the instructions for use slightly and have the illustrations be a little clearer.

I had so much fun with this, worked really well! Only wish there was a way to do this with less plastic
23/07/2018, By Martie
Excellent i will be ordering again soon!!!!!!

I bought this as a gift for a friend, but when it arrived it was so much bigger than I expected. I got too excited and decided to keep it for myself. The stress of the last minute gift hunting for a new gift was worth it. This kit is great, simple to use and produces massive and loads of mushrooms. I'm harvesting my first batch tonight for some risotto and I cannot wait.

I bought my kit on 20 December and started it on 2 January taking meticulous care with the light, humidity and temperature requirements. To date there has been no activity in it. I took a closer look at it last night(23.01.2017) and saw the mulch was contained in 2 plastic bags and the outermost one had water in it that smelled awful. I removed that bag but I'm not hopeful that I will get any mushrooms.

This is the most amazing gift, product, or process to experience!! And they just keep regrowing! The trick is to allow a 'rest period' in which a little container of water sits at the bottom of the bag, but don't spray. And once the little musrooms start growing, then mist/spray again to keep things moist. LOVE IT!!! Definitely buying again and again once it's in stock again.

Great product, worked well and tasted great. The second time this was ordered, it stood for a few days before anything was done to it and there were already mushrooms coming out of the box, don't think this was supposed to happen.
27/11/2017, By Diane
I really enjoyed this product. It grew amazing mushrooms that tasted great. I appreciated Faithful to Nature's customer service as well. The boxes they had in stock started to grow in the warehouse so they ordered more so that I would be able to get a new, unsprouted product. Well done!

I loved playing around with these badboys. They're great as is, for a complex, chocolaty snack or addition to smoothies.

I also roasted and ground some to make my own chocolate - so yummy and interesting to work with.

I did not have much success, will re-order and try one more time before I either win or give up with this kit.
07/10/2017, By Janet
So far so good... Following the instructions, and will see how much it grows! There's a small green moldy spot, which were there already when I opened the box - hopefully it won't have a negative effect?

Lovely product, would purchase it again

It was an exciting thought to grow your own mushrooms but mine did not work well. I got one mushroom each week. I left the box untouched for a week after delivery and a mushroom grew out from the back of the cardboard box.

Growing mushrooms for the first time, I enjoyed the experience
02/07/2017, By KATHERINE
This was a really fun and interesting product. The mushrooms were easy to grow and yummy to eat.

We bought one as a gift and it was way bigger than I expected. There were a lot of oohs and ahhs at it was opened. Think I now need to buy one for myself.
