Just ordered 5 more lion's mane kits!
Just ordered 5 more lion's mane kits to take to family for Christmas presents. I collected another two 12 days ago for friends and one has had a harvest already!
They make such great unusual and healthy presents.
Lovely people to buy from!

Really fun present
A present for my partner. We worried as opened a day after we were advised to, but all good! 10 days later and a lovely crop about ready to harvest.
So fun coming down in the mornings to see how they’ve grown. Don’t worry if it looks like nothing is happening at first. Definitely recommend!

Hi Saffron,
Many thanks for your review! We are really glad to hear about your positive experience with the growing kits! We advise opening them as soon as possible, but mycelium can be quite resilient, as you can see!
