Reviews of Certified Organic Indoor Mushroom Patches
Tricky but worth it...
My first experience with one of these mushroom kits was an unmitigated success -- I had received an oyster mushroom kit while I was living in New Orleans. It's warm and humid there, and the space on top of my refrigerator seemed to be perfect. We got 3-4 harvests off the kit by drying it out after picking the mushrooms and resoaking it after a week's rest and dry out.
Last fall I picked up a couple of kits for shitakes at Green Festival. I was so excited to share these with my boyfriend but we are not in the right area to do this in the winter. That is to say -- most houses aren't very well insulated here and neither of us has heat in our apartments (I know? Criminal is what I call it!). Both my boyfriend and I live in 80+ year old buildings that get just as cold inside as outside in the winter -- well below the 50-80 degree range for growing shitake kits.
After a non-start last December/January, I let my kit dry out and resoaked it last weekend -- I already have three shitakes popping up -- but I'm worried that it is still a bit too cool in my home (a duplex), fingers x'd! Boyfriend's kit just got moldy and didn't do anything. :(
It's a great product -- the Bay Area is just too cold for indoor mushroom kits in the winter. Their customer service is great -- and since I had two kits from the same batch, they're a bit suspect. Their customer service -- Critter -- promised me some replacements so I will post pictures of my success and update this review.

Paul Stamets knows how to make mushrooms
A great product, for sale at less than $20 bucks a shot. This mail order block is to be submerged in a water overnight, and then misted for approximately two weeks to grow 1-2 pounds of mushrooms for your stir fry or salad.

Fun Guys to be with
My wife and I have big plans to be self sufficient in our small Takoma Park house and garden. We grow many of our own vegetables and even keep bees for honey. What we need though is a source of protein. We don't have the space for pigs or chickens but we are both very fond of mushrooms. Imagine our excitement then when we found the company "Fungi Perfecti" from Washington state, selling mushroom growing kits. The owners were fantastically knowledgable about their subject without being boring and they exuded enthusiasm. They made me want to buy their product. We walked away with 3 kits. Not all for us though. I just hope that the Mother-in-Law will appreciate mushrooms for Christmas.
