Amy's Opinion:

Are you looking for a product that will make you
utter the words, "cool" and "amazing"? Then an
organic mushroom growing kit is for you! These
kits are part science project, part organic gardening.
And, you get to eat the mushrooms when they're
ready to harvest.

My stepfather, Ron, is a chef, and I sent
him the Shiitake growing kit for his birthday a year
or two ago. He said that the mushrooms were
superb, and I really trust his culinary opinion.
I'm growing the pearl oyster mushrooms at the
moment.

If you are the kind of person that likes
to plant things and then check on them each day
to see how much they've grown-you'll love these.
Or, if you just like the taste and nutritional
benefits of mushrooms, then you'll want them
fresh from your own kit. Makes an excellent
gift, and they're really easy to grow. The only
thing I had to do was place the bag in a low
light spot and cut a few slices into the plastic
bag where the mushrooms were underneath trying
to get out. My bag arrived moist, so I really haven't
had to spritz it with water yet. And, mushrooms
started growing after only about 5 days.

Ingredients: Certified organic mushroom kit
containing a unique blend of sterilized, enriched
sawdust fully colonized with a select Chinese strain.

Properties: Esteemed for both its health stimulating
properties and culinary value, this Shiitake kit out-
performs by far that of any known competitor.
Shiitake mushrooms can be harvested at 2-4 week
intervals up to 16 weeks. A 50-80º F environment
is ideal. Each kit comes with illustrated instructions
and is guaranteed to produce. After these indoor kits
stop producing, many of them can be used as spawn
to inoculate outdoor garden composts and/or
hardwood logs.
