Toronto ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tried growing mushrooms at home for the first time – and it worked perfectly! The bag is convenient, no need for sterilizing anything. Within a few weeks, I had fresh mushrooms

Super easy for beginners. Just added the mycelium, kept it warm, and forgot about it – the mushrooms grew on their own. Tasty and hassle-free!

"I’ve tried other methods before, but this one is really the simplest. Great yield, the only downside is that I wish the bag was a bit bigger
Sophie K.
Montreal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A fun idea for the home! My kids and I grew mushrooms right in the kitchen, and it was so exciting to watch the bag turn white. The kids loved it!

The harvest exceeded my expectations – I got more mushrooms from one bag than promised. And the taste is way better than store-bought
