Those mushrooms are a real delicacy. Here is a brief overview on how the three different types worked for me:1 - the red oyster mushroomThis was a very vigorously growing, highly productive mushroom. I noticed that it even developed a lot of pins on the front underneath the plastic wrapper and -diverting from the instructions - I made a small opening there too and started misting that area as well.The result was that I had two areas on the block to harvest, the regular, where the X mark was and the fron which I cut open. I got a total of just 1 lb in the first flush.That mushroom however developed a bit a fishy odor, it still smelled and looked otherwise quite well. But because at this time of the year I had the block indoors I skipped the 2nd flush. 1 lb anyways sounded like a lot for that small block.We had three meals with it, from a wonderful aromatic mushroom soup, to some some sauteed ones sprinkled on top of a salad to a serious traditional side dish (mushrooms sauteed in butter, garlic and some white wine and a dollop of heavy cream. Heavenly!). They have great texture and strong flavor. If the name "Lobster mushroom" would not have been taken, then this would be a very appropriate name for those.2- The white oyster mushroomGrew also quite vigorous but on this one I did not open another area up but just harvested the main one and am right now soaking it to prepare for the 2nd flush. The white oyster mushrooms are delightful and very versatile in the kitchen. Very mellow flavor and wonderful texture. The first flush got about 0.4 lbs3 - The grey mushroomVery productive as well. I got 2 flushes, the first one being bigger and both together bringing it to about 1 lbs approximately.They were in an area of 63-68 deg most of the time, at night in the fifties sometimes. I misted them more than instructed, just because they were in easy reach. And they seemed to really like it.

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.

Followed instructions exactly and the mushrooms were visibly growing after 3 days! I'm 5 days in now and they are growing so fast. Very exciting. Worked perfectly. Only 4 stars because price is high on Amazon compared to other websites, but shipping was next day which is a huge benefit.

Two mushrooms grew quickly and beautifully. Unfortunately the other never grew under the same conditions. 🫤

I have been growing mushrooms in a tent grow system with a fan for the past few months. I have been ordering grow kits from various companies to find the best one for me. These had good reviews and could be on Subscribe and Save so I thought I would try them. They are small but seem to be producing enough mushrooms for the size BUT the pink and brown oyster are getting mold on the bottom half of the block. Today I cut the bottom half off and hope it controls the mold since the top of the block is fruiting. I have never had this problem before even when my system was over humidifying. Not all the blocks they sell will mold I just think two of the blocks I have were contaminated. The white oyster is not molding nor are the other mushrooms I have in the system.

This was so much fun! They grew so fast, i live in a humid area i spritzed it twice a day. I never had any mold. I messed up and didn’t harvest some of them in time but as long as you pick them when they’re ready you’ll be fine! It was so much fun to see them grow more and more each day.
