Q: What's the approximate weight of the oyster mushroom which grows out of a kit?
submitted by Irene - 7 days ago
A: Hi Irene! Our Organic Mini Mushroom Grow Kit is approximately 2.25 pounds and will yield 1 to 2 servings of mushrooms or approximately 3 ounces. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com. We're always happy to help you grow!

Q: do you get one harvest from kit
submitted by shade - 2 months ago
A: Hi there! Our mini mushroom kits are guaranteed to grow once, but you should be able to get a bonus crop. You'll flip the block over, cut a new X, scrape some of the white layer, and soak the new cut side face down in water for 6 to 10 hours. You'll just want to be patient as each subsequent crop can take several weeks to begin growing. Please reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com with questions or trouble growing, we're here to help!

Q: I scraped away all of the white stuff but left some on the corners I don't know if they will grow

The box looked perfect, but once I opened it I saw dry crusty crumbling mushrooms that had already sprouted. Bummer.

Hi Bree! We are sorry to hear you've had this experience. Premature growth is not uncommon, it happens when a mushroom kit is anxious to grow. Please send a photo of your kit to contact@backtotheroots.com. We'd love to help you grow or as needed, we're happy to send a replacement.
Wouldn't try to purchase again

Was excited to try but 1st time the item was slimey inside the packaging. 2nd time arrive with dry sprouted mushroom outside packaging! Not a good experience both times item might have been exposed to moisture both times before arrival.

This mushroom grow kit is fool-proof. Once you soak it and then add the minimal daily water, the mushrooms grow very quickly and you will be harvesting so much more than you expected. Oyster mushrooms freeze very well and so you will be enjoying them for a long time. Such a great learning opportunity for the whole family! A funny side note: my dog will eat fresh button and baby Bella mushrooms with a meh attitude but these oyster mushrooms she will actually beg for.

When I opened the kit, the bag was damaged and the mycelium had grown out into the box. It was still alive, but dried and spent. No mushrooms starting after ten days. Of the three kits I tried, this is the only one that failed.

Carol - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Product was actavated in the box when I opened it and ws dried out. Asked for a replacement and it was also activated and dried upon opening the box. Asked for a refund this time and since it was a replacement no refund is given so out the inital price with no product to show for it. This stinks. Not very nice. Carol N.
1 reply from Back to the Roots, Inc. team - 1 year ago
Hi Carol! It sounds like your kit had some premature growth, which happens when a kit is anxious to grow, but as long as the kit is still healthy you can still grow a full crop of mushrooms from your mini mushroom kit. Please reach out to us at contact@backtotheroots.com, we would be happy to help with tips and tricks for growing or if you can send a copy of your original receipt, we are happy to help with a refund.

Very easy to follow instructions, definitely be sure to soak for a long time (overnight if possible). After pinning occurs, the growth really takes off. Very cool home project, would be perfect to do with kids

MeganMR - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
I have purchased these grow kits before and they are wonderful. Unfortunately I purchased this one and it had already started growing, so clearly the box had gotten wet at some point. The point is to eat them after they grow, so I returned this immediately because I was unsure what they got wet with, could have been something toxic for all I know. Also, if it's already growing it defeats the purose of buying a grow kit. I was also shocked that a Target employee put in in my pick up order bag this way.
So Easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit was so much fun for my family. We were able to follow the instructions and after seeing them grown i was even able to get my picky eater to try some of them in two different meals. The kit came with everything that you need and I was even able to use it a second harvest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how easy it was to get this started, and maintain it throughout it's growing cycle. Especially with my 13 year old daughter, whom was very excited to help me spray the mushrooms, and take pictures of them as they grew.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit was so much fun! I love mushrooms and growing my own was interesting. It was easy to set up and then I just waited for the crop. My mom liked the mushrooms too
