It was a gift for my husband that called it a smashing success!

Very interesting. Bought to try and experience the new taste. Worked perfectly.

As I told you earlier in an email things had been crazy around here and I completely forgot about my farm in a room that was chilly and dark! The day I decided to take care of the mushrooms, I found relatively large mushrooms growing from each end of the log! I took them off, put them in the refrigerator in a paper bag. We had them the other night with steak and onions, they were delicious! Following the instructions you emailed me, we have quite a nice little farm coming along! I will send pics when we get another harvest! Thank you so much! Mary
David P.
These mushrooms are awesome. They grow really fast and taste delicious too. Customer service is the best. I'm fixing to buy another log. Thanks Josh, you're the best. Keep up the good work.
Mike L.
It’s amazing- growing your own mushrooms what a hobby. The customer care was helpful in providing instructions and directions on how to successfully grow the mushroom. I have to get one for my grandkids. Thanks
Christopher C.
Very easy to set up. Easy to take care of.
I did not remove excess growth and still had beautiful large mushrooms
Cynthia R.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner just became tastier.
Robert K.
shipping was prompt, followed instructions, the mushrooms are delicious.
Frank C.
Such an awesome company!! My Shitakes were so easy to grow. Better than that was eating them!!! They are absolutely delicious!! The instructions were very simple. Love them
rose c.
It is fun harvesting the mushroom if you can actually call it that. It grows so fast! I’m taking a picture each day to compare the significant difference in growth. I removed some nubs to allow growth for the adjacent mushrooms. I sautéed the nubs and they were delicious. As easy as a chia pet! Really!
jeffrey v.
Finally a company has mushrooms that actually grow
Lincoln F.
First harvest was a little slow growing at 62* but was a fantastic harvest.
David P.
These mushrooms are awesome. This is what they look like at 5 days. Absolutely awesome mushrooms and awesome customer service. I'm now starting round 2. Everyone should get these. The grandkids have a lot of fun watching them grow.
Mckay W.
Still growing! Looking at the caps it’ll probably be ready for harvest in the next day or two. Very nice and fun project!
Alex L.
Awesome experience, quick, easy, simple instructions. Starting round 2 now. Can’t wait!
Omrani R.
mushrooms Farm is Doing Great!! Thank you so much Appreciate You Always
Ingrid G.
Growing shiitake mushrooms with my friends was a fun shared experience!! You really have to stay on top of misting. And you may need to make some adjustments for trapping humidity, while allowing for airflow, in the dry winter air. But otherwise it was just really fun to watch the mushrooms magically appear and grow! They tasted delicious at the end too!
Fei C.
We love all things mushrooms and this was no exception. It was easy to grow and the mushrooms tasted tender and delicious! We are trying to grow a second batch now!
John Y.
I bought this as a gift for my father and he absolutely loved it!
Fiona D.
Super exciting watching the mushroom grow, it’s literally growing right before our eyes! I took a picture of it daily in the morning and evening and saw a significant difference. Currently trying to get a second harvest now!
ALLEN Claudette A.
Bought this mushroom kit for my bf and I must say we both love it. It's exciting to open the box each day and see how much the mushrooms grew. They are very tasty as well. I bought 2 kits and we had plenty of mushroom to eat. We also dehydrated the rest to preserve it. I definitely recommend this to everyone. I guarantee you will love it too!
John E.
Bought this as a gift and even though the recipient didn't read the instructions properly (clearly his fault LOL) - he was STILL able to get his mushrooms to flourish after getting helpful advice from the brand on IG. Highly recommend!!

I sent two of my grand daughters for their special project to grow SHITAKE mushrooms in their home. They are so excited and loved these boxes of SHITAKE kit. I wish I have more grand children I can send. I also sent one box to my friend In Stafford Virgina. My friend and his wife loved to take on the project of growing SHITAKE.
Amy P.
I loved my first harvest experience. The directions were easy to follow and everything went according to how it was laid out in the brochure. I opted not to prune any of my pins which is why some of my mushrooms were a little smaller. I'm now growing my second batch from the SAME log.
Jewel H.
Super easy, directions were very helpful. It was a lot of fun from start to finish.
Karla I.
This was a fantastic experience. The mushrooms were excellent. So fun to watch. Now hoping for a second flush
Enoch K.
I bought two units, one for my nieces and one for myself! Obviously my young nieces thought it was super cool. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. I don't think I took all the proper steps and did not get as good of a harvest as I could have, but still really enjoyed the product. Great job guys!
Adriana E.
So fun and easy!
Steven L.
Easy to grow. Great instructions and tools included. They only negative was the included thermometer / hygrometer got faulty after I dropped it into water under the log. A great buy regardless. My kids learned a lot and we ate good too!
Monica M.
Love this idea! its soooo easy and gratifying to grow your own mushrooms and harvest them in just a week sometimes!!!
Samuel H.
My log only took 6 days to harvest. I followed the recipe.for the shiitake tomato bisque and it came out perfect!
Rochelle F.
What a great gift! I decided to gift a couple of these to friends for the holiday while we still had plenty of time to shelter in place and work from home. It is something different, new and exciting (for 2020, lol). Makes a great gift for the friend who has everything, enjoys cooking, is a vegetarian and or has dietary restrictions, the friend who is obsessed with plants, or just someone who needs a fun pick me up. We will be gifting these again in the future!
Alex M.
Amazing! The instructions were easy to follow and well detailed.
Kayla T.
Love this mushroom growing kit and the mushrooms are amazing!!!
STEPHANIE W.
Super fun and easy to grow. The harvest is also DELICIOUS and plentiful!
Agnes G.
Give it as a Christmas gift and they loved it!
Lily V.
Loved this! It’s a perfect quarantine activity. Bought two more for my friends.
Glenda P.
Loved it!!! The mushrooms were delicious and meaty too!! Only thing that happened was that when we picked up one of the logs to pick mushrooms off, it split in half. We are definitely going to buy again!! Reason why we bought this product was because we follow Joe on JKN and also because of the health benefits of Shiitake mushrooms. Recently our dog became paralyzed so we are looking for healthy medicinal options for her. Mikka loves them in her soup! Wonderful product!!!
Jacob V.
I bought this kit for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved growing her own mushrooms! She would not stop talking about them. They tasted awesome. Will most likely buy another one. Great product and great fun.
Alysa P.
a lot of fun and great opportunity to have fresh mushrooms available. We recently moved to an area where asian produce isn’t always available or fresh and this makes a big difference in our meals.
Annika L.
Bought this kit as a gift for my friend. She loves it and is so excited about the growing process. She's attempted it in the past with another type of mushroom but didn't have much luck so it's fun hearing about the progress. One of the first things she texted me about after receiving the kit was that she was so happy it included a humidity sensor!
While I can't review the growing process myself, customer service was and has been excellent. Overall so happy to have ordered this kit and I plan to get one for myself later this year.
Michael B.
Shipped in good shape. The kit is easy to setup. And after only a few days, there was significant growth, more than expected! Very fun process.
Colin H.
I bought three of these for family members over thE holidays. All of them loved it.
Danielle L.
I ordered this as a gift for my brother for Christmas and it did not disappoint! It was shipped and delivered in a manner of days. My brother also said the process was easy to follow and the mushrooms started growing so quickly! Will definitely be buying more for friends and myself.
Breanna W.
They grow so fast! Wish it were possible to get more mushrooms out of it than just two uses but it’s okay it’s totally worth the money. Will be buying again for sure.
Edward B.
Easy experience for the first harvest. I’ll get another log when I’m ready to grow more.
David C.
Tolerated colder and drier conditions than recommended, in the basement, still yielded lots of fruit quickly. Harvested the first round and are waiting for the second round to mature now.
michelle t.
What a fun quarentine activity to have. loved it so much i sent loved ones logs for xmas!
Queena C.
Mushroom kit was a gift to a friend. It arrived late due to UPS shipping delay. I requested a new log for the kit and Alex was super helpful. He was able to ship me a new log for the kit within a week. Definitively will buy again.
Michael C.
Super easy to grow and the most delicious mushrooms ever! I even gave one to my Dad for Christmas!
Reichael C.
Super fun and easy to grow, AND Im not one with a green thumb. Customer service is amazing, helped with shipping delay and educating me on the growth process!
Will be ordering again!
cristina z.
so fun and great results
Andy P.
First time growing anything! Process is easy and fun! Loving the progress, can’t wait to eat!!
Theresa L.
I bought 2 farm kits as gifts for family. These were a great way to keep unemployed elderly busy. They have grown a good amount of mushrooms and love the freshness of homegrown mushrooms!
Wha L.
Easy and the mushrooms were delicious!
Junji T.
Wonderful purchase! Never thought I'd actually get so many huge shitake mushrooms...and super easy to grow. If you can handle a spray bottle, you're good. Oh, and fun to watch them grow too 'cause they grow so fast!
Jarren B.
Bought for my girlfriend because she love mushrooms. She grew to a great size and they were delicious. She really enjoyed growing them. Would buy again.
Justine H.
Love this mushroom kit! I originally saw this on an episode of JK news (I've been a long time fan of the channel #JoemaliaForever) and knew it would be an awesome Christmas gift for my dad. The kit arrived quickly and instructions on how to store were very clear. My dad started growing his mushrooms two days after Christmas and in a week, he was just about ready to harvest (see pic). He absolutely loves his organic shiitake mushrooms!! I will definitely buy again and recommend to anyone with a craving to grow be a farmer! Thanks Mushroom King Farm!
Brian L.
Bought it as a gift for my cousin for Christmas. Came in just in time and she loves it! She is officially a “mushroom mommy” :)
Xiao H.
Sent as gifts and recipients loved the experience. Fun and delicious.
Ashley B.
It was really fun growing it! It grew quite fast. It was also satisfying to eat something that was self grown.
Faith N.
It was a gift for my son who loved it
Atiqah Salami M.
The person who received the kit as a Christmas gift is really happy and satisfied with the overall experience. Congrats team!
Sophorn L.
They grew WAYYY faster than I expected and it was so fun to watch!! Absolutely loved this! Defined buying again for future gifts!!
Sammy H.
This mushroom kit is so cool! Super easy to follow the directions and get them growing fast. 10/10 recommend this, you will not be disappointed.
Crystal S.
Came quickly and was a great gift!
Daysha P.
Bought as a gift for my grandpa for Christmas, and will probably now be buying one for myself(:
Ivy K.
The delivery of my original order was delayed for over 10 days. I contacted Mushroom King, they immediately shipped a replacement order within 2 days, I really appreciate the prompt response. It was really fun to watch the mushrooms grow. The mushrooms taste really good, more chewy and have an earthier flavor than the store bought ones.
Angela P.
Bought this for my daughter (7) who is very interested in gardening in order to avoid having a planter in the house (it’s very cold right now outside so that’s a no go). It worked perfectly! I followed the directions (husband didn’t like the log in the bathtub but you gotta do what you gotta do) and it grew tons of mushrooms!! Many have been picked off (kids have no respect for mushrooms) but they grew big and plentiful. The few we ate were good. It’s a fun experience for kids and a tasty one for the family. Recommend. 5/5 would do it again.
Vicki C.
I loveeeeed this experience of having your own little baby mushroom farm! It was super exciting to watch the mushrooms grow! The mushrooms were sooo delicious as well!
Alex from Customer Care was so helpful. I had questions about pinning apron arrival, cleaning up clusters, and second harvests.
I definitely recommend this experience to everyone!
Jennifer L.
The kit was perfect! Unfortunately it was wrapped to early and spoiled before Christmas. However I will be purchasing another one. Just make sure to unwrap right away to keep your mushrooms from rotting!
Diane T.
I wish I could show more photos because the process was AMAZING!! It’s a little cold in California right now, but they grew beautifully! I definitely recommend putting the cardboard box with the log inside into a larger plastic bin (seen in the other ways of growing the mushrooms) and lightly drape the given bubble wrap over, it increases the humidity but A LOT and they'll grow faster! Such a fun experience, I left them in the fridge for a week and when it was opened on Christmas, the log was still kind of wet, not dry at all! 10/10 loved the experience and mushrooms !!
Adrienne C.
So much fun to grow!!! Love the little hydrometer as well.
Hsing Chu L.
Excellent customer service and good products
Stephanie A.
My husband loved it!
Indira C.
Love it it was really easy!
Eli C.
Bought a kit for my girlfriend for Christmas. It’s a great interactive gift that keeps on giving! They’re growing fast and she loves seeing the progress every day. We can’t wait for our first harvest!
Nela S.
LOVED IT! This log was the first harvest (still in process for the 2nd). Instructions were very clear and easy to follow including the videos they posted on Instagram. We were so surprised at how much harvest we had on the first try despite inconsistent cold temperatures. Our humidity level was constantly above 90% (most of the time was 99%) but the temperature was around ~50-66F but we were still able to grow a lot! Definitely recommend. Super fun to see it grow so fast and tasted fresh. We used it in soup and almond milk cream pasta!
Elma Marisol R.
This kit is so cool and the customer service is incredible. They replaced my order even though it was me who didn’t read the institutions to refrigerate if I wasn’t ready to start growing them. They made corrections so quickly and now the box is stamped notifying us that it needs to be refrigerated. This company overall is amazing.
Sheena N.
The best gift! Ordered myself one over a month ago, loved it so much, and decided to gift someone else one as well. Everyone was a big fan. Not to mention the fresh shiitakes were delicious!
Wendi O.
I bought 2 of the kits as a gift and they were a major hit! No shortage of mushrooms here!
minda w.
This mushroom farm is a great activity for the entire family. The entire process was so quick, the kids loved that it was changing every day. Within a week we had a full harvest. The mushrooms were so tasty too. Looking forward to growing more mushrooms!
tanavit v.
Funny starter kit but only able to get two harvest out of it
Robert L.
The instructions were clear and the log was the perfect size to fit in my tiny fridge. The mushrooms were delicious and fun to watch grow.
Kassandra C.
I made a mistake on the address, & Alex was very responsive & helped change it. My sister & her boyfriend loved the gift & already used the mushrooms in a soup!!
Andrea L.
Mushrooms came out great! When it arrived there were a lot of the nubs already growing and some even already looking like a mushroom. I wasnt sure if i should do the full process(refrigerating, soaking, etc) or just start letting it grow. I ended up doing the full process and everything turned out fine. I think maybe a note on how to proceed if ur mushrooms have started sprouting be it "proceed with the full process" or something would've been helpful. Another thing i wouldve like more instruction on is the pruning. Possibly included in the online instructional videos. I read online that it was easy to damage the fungus so i didnt end up pruning. One last thing would be making it easier to navigate from the first instructional video to the next on your website. It took a little bit of clicking around to find the how to start the second growth process video
Craig C.
This was a gift I bought for my sister and brother-in-law. They love it and have sent me pictures through every growth stage. They said they were delicious mushrooms and are having a blast growing them! I'm so glad I found your site.
Katherine J.
Was very easy to grow! And they grow fast
Gus W.
It grew much more than I could have imagined. It a really great gift
Andrew L.
Maybe put in fridge label on the box. Love it
vivian h.
Awesome experience growing your own mushrooms! My first harvest was awesome, my log was completely covered in big mushrooms. Unfortunately, didn't have any luck with my 2nd harvest. Please let us know how to get more harvests!
Kimberly Y.
I have so much fun watching the progress and growth. I bought for all my friends and family and probably won't be stopping. Lol
Luis B.
I’m not sure I’m doing it right, but there just aren’t as many pins as I expected. I followed the instructions in the pamphlet. By the way, never expected to have Joe’s signature!
Timayo W.
This was a great gift
Christianne K.
I pretty much kill any plants that come into my house. My family and friends were taking bets on how soon I will kill the mushroom log. To everyone’s (even me) surprise, I actually was successful with growing mushrooms!! It was extremely easy and a very rewarding experience!
Andy S.
Sadly my mushrooms started to dry up as I left it outside. I’m thinking the weather is way too cold
Eric P.
I purchased a few kits to give as gifts. Everyone absolutely loved their gift and all had 100% success growing shrooms!
Hannah
I never grew mushrooms before but I figured this would be a fun hobby to take up! It was super easy to get started and the kit has everything you need. After following the instructions, my log was full of mushrooms in no time. I was so shook at how many mushrooms this log was able to produce! Additionally, customer support was super responsive and helpful when I had questions. 10/10 would recommend buying again!
