Lions Mane Mushroom Kit
I bought a Lions Mane mushroom kit as a gift for my husband. It was great watching them grow and the mushrooms were delicious. We are now onto our second harvest and have bought the Pink Oyster kit to try!

I bought a growing kit which is coming along nicely. I decided to buy a mushroom selection box, which unfortunately arrived fairly beaten up and sweaty. I was offered a replacement which I decided to upgrade to another growing kit instead. The team are responsive and helpful.

Very happy to review
Very happy to review Merit Mushrooms after placing a first order last week delivery was quick and mushrooms were in fresh condition. The 2 mixed boxes were packed with varieties new to us will definitely be reordering and may even try a home grow kit when a favourite is discovered. Thanks, great product.

Support local
Bit of confusion with my order but overall good service from start to finish and I was able to test some new to me varieties to ensure that no one in my house has sensitivities. Now I'm adding gourmet mushrooms to my diet that I had overlooked previously. Thanks!
