## Description

Since March of 2004 Bob and Wendy have been growing mushrooms organically for the Missouri Ozarks and sharing the growing experience with others through kits. The 12" by 12" agaricus (white button or crimini/baby bella) kit weighs about 13/14 lbs. ~ This beginners kit comes with comprehensive instructions (including links to online instructions which include photos and videos to aid you on your growing journey), colonized growing medium block and the casing layer you mix and apply to the block. The box the kit is shipped in converts into its growing chamber. The mycelium within the kit is alive and growing. As such the kit needs to be treated like any living plant. The box needs to be opened upon arrival as it will need to breathe and you are instructed to begin the process within a week of its arrival. You start the process by following the instructions on mixing and applying the casing material provided. The mushrooms begin to emerge from 2-4 weeks after applying the casing as per instructions. Depending on the care given, during the following 3 to 8 weeks after the first flush of mushrooms have matured, mushrooms will be emerging. Typically with harvests every 5-10 days. Be aware that once the mushrooms emerge they double in size every 24 hours! So check your kit every morning and evening! So much fun to watch! Makes a Terrific Science project. Great for the Home School as well as in the Classroom from pre-K through college and beyond. Willow Mountain Mushrooms has been making kits since 2004. They provide detailed instructions to make it fun and easy for you to grow your own Gourmet Mushrooms right on your kitchen counter or table. This makes it easy to care for and harvest your mushrooms. Special Note: All fruits and veggies have an ideal fruiting temperature. Agaricus (Button and Portabella) mushrooms have a force fruiting temperature range of 60-68 degrees - with 65 degrees being ideal. Agaricus mushrooms are shy. They prefer to not be in direct sunlight. So, kits should be kept away from windows and doors. Know your Farmer! Made at Willow Mountain Mushrooms, a small family farm located in the Missouri Ozarks! In 2004, after working for some of the largest commercial mushroom producers in the US since 1981, Bob along with his wife Wendy (& children) went out on their own to establish their mushroom farm. At Willow Mountain Mushrooms they grow & distribute fresh mushrooms within a 100 mile radius and offer kits to share the growing experience with others across the US. If you have Any questions along the way please reach out to Willow Mountain Mushrooms via the email included on the instructions. Mushrooms follow their own unique set of rules.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a perennial product?**
A: no, not in the same sense as a plant.  Fungus are different.
We create a food source for the mushroom fungus on the compost that we make.  It is a complicated scientific process.  Once that food source is depleted the kit will no longer produce.  Some put it on their home compost pile and see some mushrooms from it when the weather is just right, but they are typically pretty rough looking at that point.
We remove competing fungus and force fruit indoors year round.  We kick off new crops weekly in order to keep our customers supplied with mushrooms.  Your kit would come directly from our beds that are fully colonized.  TY

**Q: What Are The Health Benefits?**
A: Mushrooms also naturally lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure

**Q: Seller - If the mushrooms fail, will you still honor refund or replacement outside the 30 days?  It appears that more than 30 days needed for crop.**
A: I have never seen this question before.  I look here at least once a week and it appears this question just showed up as a customer wrote a reply to it today  ???  So odd... anyway... I will do my best to answer your question so that it may help others.

When you receive the kit there are instructions in the box with it.  I have our email address highlighted and stress on the very first page that we are here if there are any questions or concerns along the way.  

If you read and follow the instructions the kit will grow.  The substrate is fully colonized before it leaves our farm.  We literally pulled the substrate from our growing trays just before casing that crop (we case a new crop every week).  You get the kit at the point that it needs to be cased.  It takes 3 weeks to see the first flush of mushrooms coming on once you case the kit.  In our policy we state that the buyer should contact us to ask for help if at any time they have a question or concern.   If there is anything that we did to the kit to make it not perform this would be visible by 2 1/2 to 3 weeks into the process.  

We will work with home growers to aid them to get the most out of their kit.  Many times we just need to see a picture to be able to tell you what is going on or the home grower needs to tweak temperature and/or humidity.  Keep the log (there is a log page in the included instructions) so that when we ask when a particular action was done you can look at your log to let us know.  Bob and I are here to answer any questions and offer assistance along the way.  We have our instructions on our website along with photos to help assist those who are more visual when it comes to instructions.  You can find them here:  http://www.willowmountainmushrooms.com/index.php?p=1_53_Crimini-and-White-Button-Kit-Instructions

Whenever someone contacts us we have been able to help them out.  Since the kit comes directly from our own growing trays we know exactly how it should perform.  If it ever happens that we have a crop failure... (since we opened in 2004 growing commercially and providing kits locally... it hasn't happened yet)... we will reach out to the home grower to let them know.  At that point, we would either send out a replacement kit or give special instructions (sometimes that is all that it takes).  We would never leave anyone high and dry.  

This is a true family farm.  There aren't any employees.  Between this fact and that we keep logs on each of our crops, we have our hands on every facet and know what each is doing at any given time.  We are 100% hands on.  As farmers... those that provide food to our community and reaching outward with our kits... our goal is to share our fresh organically grown mushrooms and the experience with others.  There is nothing like a fresh picked mushroom.  

Happy Mushrooming!
~Wendy

**Q: How Many Calories In It?**
A: There are approx 4 calories in an average mushroom.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly productive mushroom kit
*by S***E on January 11, 2021*

The kit needs a bit of patience and time to develop the mushrooms, but once they are going they are very active. I got about 3 flushes out of the kit around 3lbs total or so.The mushrooms are not exactly like the Portabellas you get in the supermarket, the texture is a bit different. But close enough. The flavor is very good.You will need to keep a temperature between 63-68 approximately. This is what I learned when I asked them. Their customer services was excellent, Wendy got back to me immediately with that advice, detailed explanations and a lot more good suggestions which helped me to give the kit the best conditions.The instructions they put into the kit are very detailed, the overview sheet was extremely helpful. The kit comes with everything except a "humidity tent" but one can use anything really. I luckily had a humidity tent from a shitake log before which fit over that kit here like a glove. It had some holes and was made from clear plastic. Any larger plastic bag will work.This kit has a great price/yield ratio and highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, exceptional customer service
*by K***K on October 20, 2024*

I’ve purchased this product several times. I’m never disappointed. Comes with clear instructions, that when followed, ensure beautiful delicious mushrooms. My last order would have arrived shortly after hurricane Milton the owner noticed this, called me and rescheduled the order and before shipping called to check I was ok and that it was ok to ship. Great product and caring owner. Worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun to grow, delicious to eat!
*by S***Y on June 30, 2020*

WOW! They grew SO FAST! One day I found a white haze over the substrate (the “soil” cube they grow on. The next day there were little white bumps all over the cube. I’d say less than three weeks later I had full grown Baby Bella mushroom all over The cube! I could barely see the substrate at all. As I picked them I found that more were growing underneath already! We luxuriated with super fresh, clean, firm baby portabellas. In fact, I scrambled to find new recipes. I was able to get three full cycles out of that cube. They were delicious. Now we’re spoiled as they tasted so much better than the ones from grocery stores. And they grow SO fast they’re fun to watch. I highly recommend these “shrooms”!
