Customer service always helps me when needed. I do wish there were better deals of buying bulk items but the company and products are great!
Midwest always provides quality
Midwest always provides quality. But things do go wrong on occasion. The heating light in our kit was DOA. They never even questioned it, just sent us a new light. How can you beat customer service like that? They have earned a lifelong customer in me.
Great small business.
Every order I've made from midwest has arrived quickly and as expected. The products are great and the customer service is excellent. Ill continue to do business with them in the future.

The be$t Bang for your buck!
The Midwest Grow Kits Company has provided me with excellent, affordable products and great customer service. I was looking for a complete mushroom growing method with all the necessary equipment and a “fool proof” method to grow mushrooms. The preloaded, sterilized substrate jars and included accessories in the Mega Mushroom Grow & Incubation Kit, as well as the detailed printed instructions and links to online tutorials, makes it all easy. I had additional questions and concerns regarding the grow kit and products and the customer email support answered all my concerns promptly. I highly recommend Midwest Grow Kit Company to anyone!
Excellent responsiveness and product
Excellent responsiveness and product. Shipped quickly. The staff was very helpful in answering questions.
Choose the right spore company!!
Choose the right spore company!!! I want to share my recent experience with MidwestGrowKits, but buyer beware on getting good spores these days. I always use Mushrooms.com (the old Hawkeye Spores) and never had an issue. I decided this time to buy 1 syringe from Sporeworks.com based on lots of good reviews. I had one old syringe left from 9 months ago from Mushrooms.com. I ordered 2 bags of Rye and 2 bags of 5grain spawn bags from Midwest. They arrived super fast and I injected both sets of bags the same day under the same sterile conditions and to make it fair I used one Rye and 1 5grain bag per syringe. Both bags from Sporeworks turned to wet mush after 10 days, smelled like sour garbage and both bags from Mushrooms.com (same strain) are doing great. I first wanted to blame Midwest, which others told me it was bad bags, but doing more research I’ve talked to many others that have experienced bacteria slime after using spores from Sporeworks. I can’t understand how night and day difference the bags are... I want to apologize for my initial review, I have repeated this twice now and can’t get over why I got no growth from Sporeworks. Maybe a bad syringe? I don’t know. All I can say is be careful with bacteria ridden syringes. I also heard that all these spore companies are super busy and I think much more are being sent out contaminated than prior years.
Thanks Midwest for all your help and I apologize for bugging you guys so much! Awesome bags and grain Jars!
Upsetting to leave a crappy review but…
Upsetting to leave a crappy review but i have to be honest. I started out with Midwest and it was going good... no issues. Then I started getting bags that weren’t sealed all the way.... they were quick to replace and take care of which I thought was awesome. Then I started getting bags that looked wet and even looked like bacteria. Started smelling within a week. They replaced and it happened again and again. All my other bags were great with no issues except for mid west’s. They would try and work it out but kept sending me crappy bags. Then this last time they just started not speaking to me anymore. Sucks because I feel like they were struggling possibly due to virus but had to send old grains. I’ve never took the time to leave a bad review but.... take your money elsewhere. I’ve had no issues since switching out on them.
50/50 on MidWest??
I’m 50/50 now with MidWest after being a customer of 3 years. Their products, prices, and instructions offered are pretty good snd easy enough to follow if you can read. My issue after ordering two separate kits now is they seem to be dancing a fine line between false advertising and straight up lying.
My first “Mega” kit said it was designed for 30 jars. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The provided tote can hold twenty at most fruiting jars. Wasted money on 20 jars due to lie or false advertising? Not to mention kit comes with the worst excuse for a thermometer/hygrometer imaginable.
The next kit I bought was “Deluxe Spawn Bag” kit. Third instruction on very first page of provided instructions talks about taking the “extra lid” and setting another mono tub since kit cones with two separate tubs. No extra lid? MidWest sent one lid with a two tote kit?
It’s small stuff like this that is really starting to irk me with MidWest. Don’t get me wrong, the items they send are legit, but I think their instructions and ads are more than misleading on what you receive.
High Quality Stuff for Newbies!!
Super fast shipping! I wanted to share my experience. I know people only use this site to post negative reviews but I am a first time grower and decided to go with the Deluxe Spawn bag kit, I ordered on 11/3 and received my kit 4 days later!! I inoculated spawn bags next day and they are 80% colonized in less than 3 weeks! I emailed a few questions and they replied within 24 hours, the videos and guides are fantastic. If you are on the fence about buying all the stuff yourself or trying to decide where to start, this place has not let down in any way! It was hard to see exactly what equipment I was going to get with my kit but when I unboxed it, all brand name equipment and everything worked like it should. I also received a stainless steel 200W aquarium heater which is like $30 on Amazon. I love these guys!!
This company is a JOKE
This company is a JOKE! Over ten days and still nothing! No one can tell me nothing. Tracking is terrible and can even get a decent response. I will NEVER use this company again! And the kicker is I only ordered one thing and you cant even get that right. Turned a fun hobby into a total CHORE! Thanks for nothing!
