Great product. No waiting, the mushrooms just explode out of the log. Tasty too. I dried most and look forward to eating them soon. Great fun, recommend a lot.

I went mad and bought loads of kits, the majority all cropped at the same time and I only had so many recipes so I made a huge pan of soup and slow cooked a mushroom stroganoff etc you would think I would be sick of the sight of them by now but I love them. My first crop was plentiful, my second crop wasn't as numerous but they were way bigger.
