Pearl Oyster Mushroom Kitchen Garden Grow Your Own Kit

Tonight I made mushroom stroganoff with my very own home grown mushrooms from these fab little kits and they tasted wonderful!The box arrived in no time at all - it looks neat and compact and sat nicely on my kitchen window sill. Clear instructions on the box and all it demands is a couple of squirts of water a day - this is a far cry from the flea infested mushroom kits we used to buy back in the 90's! The mushrooms emerged in no time at all - it was wonderful and actually quite astonishing to watch them growing bigger every day through their little window and in just over a week I had a perfect crop - or flush as it is technically known! There's a great novelty factor with these mushroom kits and I love the thought of reusing and recycling as they are grown out of used coffee grounds. There's obviously a lot of love which has gone in to this product and I did actually check out the Express Mushroom Company's website and even posted a picture of my mushrooms on their Facebook page! And of course, I forgot to mention - there's a chance of a second flush so bring on more recipe ideas! I love this product and it is also a great idea for a gift - I'm already totting up how many people I can give one to for Christmas!

I thought this was a great idea but its not going too well at the moment!I read the instructions and opened the box. There was a splodge of white stuff in the box attached to the plastic bag. Seems it had started growing on its own through the plastic bag but not where it was supposed to!So I've dutifully persevered and after a week I have cut all the flaps off the top of the box so the growth can continue (photo to follow) but even after soaking the bag for the stated twelve hours, and cutting and misting the "cross" twice a day there is no sign of growth from where its supposed to!I will come back and update this as my "crop" increases but at the moment if I get enough mushrooms for a good English breakfast (just for me!) I'll consider myself lucky. That breakfast will cost me £13.49, and that's just for the mushrooms!Just for those who were wondering I ate my seven mushrooms. No second harvest for me! Disappointed. Yes they tasted good but at almost 50p a mushroom they certainly should! Thanks for the experience.

Bought these for my wife who enjoys growing, followed instructions on box and mushrooms started growing quite fast, amusing seeing them grow. But would not buy again because after you harvest the mushrooms which produces a medium plate of OK mushrooms, that's it, I did expect them to grow another batch but nothing happened. £18 pound for a small amount of mushrooms works out very expensive and not worth it, even with the novelty factor.

I bought these for my boyfriend's Christmas. Some reviews saying they were expensive, but I was feeling frivolous, and to be honest, he's worth it 😂!Once soaked, they started growing in a matter of days. They grow fairly quickly and have to be sprayed regularly (the box comes with a spray top but no bottle....we used a cup of water and it worked fine with the spray) but it's great to see their progress. They feel quite rubbery to begin with and are a dark blue grey colour but as they grow the texture becomes more velvety and the colour changes. First crop harvested today and sounded like they cooked up well!! Mushrooms are now in temporary hibernation for ten days to see if we can get a second batch.I know these seem expensive but when you research the process for preparing and growing mushrooms (either in coffee or logs) it makes more sense. Love the fact they are using old coffee grounds, which can then be used on your garden. Definitely recommend and certainly be buying again.

These are very easy to grow and we had just a single crop from them. They really are easy to grow and a great novelty gift for someone. The only downside was the price. I got mine in a deal for £14. It's an expensive way to grow mushrooms but for a one off gift, it's hard to beat. The kids loved seeing them grow each passing day and they do grow very quickly. You see a huge difference each morning. They tasted great too.

I sent this kit to my younger brother who has just turned 14 and he loved it. Whenever I called by to visit I was witness to the burgeoning mushroom empire he was proudly creating in my mum's kitchen. The doubling in size that went on in the second week before the grand day of picking was fascinating to watch. I was invited to the mushroom banquet on the evening of harvest and I've got to say they were absolutely delicious! The joint team of my brother and mum produced a lovely mushroom risotto from a set of recipes which came with the pack. The whole process had a very satisfying end to it!I will definitely be using this again as an unusual and creative gift idea next time I'm looking for something original for one of my friends or family.

These are honestly awesome!Soaked overnight, as per instructions, then my pearl oyster mushrooms appeared the next day! They grew incredibly quickly which was so exciting - photos from day 1 to day 3!!Not eaten them yet, but they look and feel and smell great (and I love my fungi!). They're honestly incredibly beautiful!Would make a great gift too. Been super easy to grow and would 100% recommend.

Finde ich super , einfach machen was auf dem Bilder auf der Packung ist . Dann ein paar Tage dei kleinen Pilze einsprühen und schon sind sie groß und können geerntet werden. Ich bin sehr zufrieden . man kann fast zuschauen wie die Pilze wachsen ,
