Forest Origins Specialty Trio Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit 3-Pack Variety - Beginner Friendly & Easy to Use, Grows in 10 Days | Handmade in California, USA | Top Gardening Gift, Holiday Gift & Unique Gift

I love these kits! I first purchased a single pink oyster kit. After my success with that, I decided to buy this three pack. They grew so quickly and were all delicious. To me, the pink had a meaty flavor, the brown had a deliciously deep mushroom flavor, and the white had a milder mushroom flavor. Watching them from day to day is just fascinating. Highly recommend!

Original review: Only one of the three grew from the first shipment even though we followed the instructions meticulously. The one that grew was great. Easy instructions, but the other two just molded. Expensive for only one pod to grow. First update: wanted to comment on Forest Origins customer service- I found their website, sent an email, uploaded pictures, and they sent 2 new pods to replace the 2 that did not grow. I am hopeful these will grow but appreciate the great customer service. Second update: changed my rating to 5 stars following Forest Origins great customer service and our success growing the 2 replacement kits. These were super yummy and so much fun. Have added pictures of the pink and brown replacement grow kits.

I was amazed by the results. You MUST mist them twice a day and you will have success. I tried to do this as close to every 12 hours a possible. Mine grew within 3 days and every few hours I could honestly see a difference! The Red and Brown ones were the first to blossom. The White was a little slower but I was glad because mushrooms have a week shelf life in the refrigerator and it spaced them out well for me as far as use. After I harvested them, I emailed the company to find out if I could get a second crop. The customer service is EXCELLENT. They emailed me back that day with instructions to attempt this. I followed them and the red ones have lots of small babies growing very quickly. The white and brown are not doing anything yet. But I will be patient and see what happens. These are GREAT sautéed in butter and used on steak and I also make homemade Cream of Mushroom soup with them....FANTASTIC and flavorful. I love these! I do wish they were not so expensive since buying them in Whole Foods is much less, but I have a greenhouse and really like to grow my own things. It's worth it for me.

These kits are great for first time mushroom growers. It gets you familiar with how the growth cycle works, how to harvest and how to collect the spores to do it all over again. The pink and white oyster mushrooms grew quickly and provided two flushes (two clusters that I could harvest). The not-so-good: Frustratingly, the brown oyster mushroom never grew. Not only that, but after buying the three mushroom kit I found another resource that sold the same kinds of mushrooms (and more) for a fraction of the price. So, if you wanna do some research to find the best deal, don't buy these. If you just want something to get started with mushroom cultivation and want the easiest path, buy these.

Make sure you harvest these per the directions. I waited a tad bit too long on one and the texture can be slightly leathery. You can get over this by using liquids during the cooking process. Besides that these are super easy to grow! A child can handle it.
