Back to the Roots Organic Mushroom Mini Grow Kit Pink Oyster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has an earthy mushroom off-putting smell. The bag already came mushy and had to soak the bag facing up instead of down. After soaking overnight the bag was too wet to put back into the box so we left it in an empty pot first to drain out the excess water. We then put the bag into the box and left it on the countertop facing out towards the sunlight but not directly. was difficult to open the cutout of the back of the box and should be made easier. The instructions are also hard to follow as a first time user. It came with an instruction manual and spray bottle included. The QR code on the box provides additional videos. I like that sharing pic will give a box away. Overall, This growing process is very messy. We sprayed spring water twice day as instructed and kept away from direct sunlight... Day 7: No signs of growth and the box developed a pungent smell coming from the back. Day 11: The kitchen had an overwhelming odor from the box and I noticed that the mixture was starting to mold. The directions said that the mushroom should show growth from days 7-10 and then harvest after but there were no results. Day 15: no growth and no harvest so, I threw it away in the garbage. Overall, I appreciate and respect the idea but I was extremely disappointed with the lack of execution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never grown my own mushrooms before, so this was a fun summer break activity! The mushrooms grew quickly and tasted yummy. I really like that the kits are made with sustainable materials. I received this product free in exchange for my honest opinion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy this Organic Mushroom Grow Kit from Back to the Roots so much! This is a fun, space-saving, and convenient way to grow my own fresh mushrooms at home. Within just 10 days, I’d be able to harvest a generous crop of organic pink oyster mushrooms — delicious, healthy, and completely toxin-free. I’m not an expert and this is so simple to set up, requires minimal care, and delivers high-quality products. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a little freshness and sustainability to their kitchen! Bonus: it’s also a fun summer activity for kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super fun and educational for kids to learn how to take care of plants very fun learning experience and experiment to do with your children and I would definitely recommend grabbing one of these although it did come in a bit damage because of the heat I was still able to grow the mushrooms

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to try these out but it came home to me all wet, looking like dog food. The first step is to make an X onto the bag and soak water over night but my bag was too mooshie for that making me super confused. Since I’ve never tried it, I looked it up to see if that’s how it’s suppose to be and it’s not. It’s suppose to be like a dried square. Very bummed out I couldn’t try it.

Easy to use intro kit. Just needs an initial soak, then two sprays a day until growth is visible. Image shown for full growth after 6 days. May be a hit or miss, though, since the other kit I got for the regular oyster mushroom did not grow despite following instructions.

The kit was fairly easy to start. They grew fast! My in-laws loved the kit we sent them, too!

I bought this grow kit and one from Mushroom Grow Kit Co at the same time to compare the two. Back to the Roots kit was so disappointing. It was way smaller, produced only 3 tiny mushrooms and kind of a pain to soak over night. The pink oyster mushroom grow kit from Mushroom Grow Kit Co didn't need to be soaked overnight and produced over 1lbs of mushrooms in the first harvest. I will not be buying Back to the Roots mushroom grow kits again.

I was excited to grown the mushrooms. At first it looked promising, but stopped growing and got hard!

Filled with liquid and rotting from the inside before I even opened. Still tried to use. Became too putrid to keep and never produced a single mushroom. Would not recommend.

Easy to start and fast to grow. Just soak overnight and sit in the window. My mushrooms grew huge in about four days — in fact, they would get bigger in a matter of hours!!! I would leave for work in the morning and when I came home in the afternoon they had tripled in size!!!! Fun project and cool colors. Highly recommended!

Did not grow after 2 weeks not but says it will grow in 8

This was so easy to grow! Great for kids to see the cycle of mushrooms. You can’t mess it up it’s really easy. The color was beautiful
