## Description

Since March of 2004 Bob and Wendy have been growing mushrooms organically for the Missouri Ozarks and sharing the growing experience with others through kits. The 12" by 12" agaricus (white button or crimini/baby bella) kit weighs about 13/14 lbs. ~ This beginners kit comes with comprehensive instructions (including links to online instructions which include photos and videos to aid you on your growing journey), colonized growing medium block and the casing layer you mix and apply to the block. The box the kit is shipped in converts into its growing chamber. The mycelium within the kit is alive and growing. As such the kit needs to be treated like any living plant. The box needs to be opened upon arrival as it will need to breathe and you are instructed to begin the process within a week of its arrival. You start the process by following the instructions on mixing and applying the casing material provided. The mushrooms begin to emerge from 2-4 weeks after applying the casing as per instructions. Depending on the care given, during the following 3 to 8 weeks after the first flush of mushrooms have matured, mushrooms will be emerging. Typically with harvests every 5-10 days. Be aware that once the mushrooms emerge they double in size every 24 hours! So check your kit every morning and evening! So much fun to watch! Makes a Terrific Science project. Great for the Home School as well as in the Classroom from pre-K through college and beyond. Willow Mountain Mushrooms has been making kits since 2004. They provide detailed instructions to make it fun and easy for you to grow your own Gourmet Mushrooms right on your kitchen counter or table. This makes it easy to care for and harvest your mushrooms. Special Note: All fruits and veggies have an ideal fruiting temperature. Agaricus (Button and Portabella) mushrooms have a force fruiting temperature range of 60-68 degrees - with 65 degrees being ideal. Agaricus mushrooms are shy. They prefer to not be in direct sunlight. So, kits should be kept away from windows and doors. Know your Farmer! Made at Willow Mountain Mushrooms, a small family farm located in the Missouri Ozarks! In 2004, after working for some of the largest commercial mushroom producers in the US since 1981, Bob along with his wife Wendy (& children) went out on their own to establish their mushroom farm. At Willow Mountain Mushrooms they grow & distribute fresh mushrooms within a 100 mile radius and offer kits to share the growing experience with others across the US. If you have Any questions along the way please reach out to Willow Mountain Mushrooms via the email included on the instructions. Mushrooms follow their own unique set of rules. It is not unusual for even a master gardener to need advice. So, do not hesitate to ask. Thank You!

Review: support staff, was excellent, either through email and phone. Video good - I got a rather low harvest, so far, but what I did get were beautiful and wonderful. I am getting a second growth which looks even better. so excited. I put a few pics on FB and many of my friends want to try them. I would recommend them, might be just a learning curve on my part, but great shrooms and fun. Excellent feedback from the grower, through phone, and e-mails, to help me walk through the process if I had a question. Plan to give as gifts to my kids and grand kids, and watch the happiness and shrooms grow. Not to mention they have been better than any I could buy in the store.
Review: Well worth the money! - Love this, I was able to grow my own mushrooms! Great value for the money, easy to follow instructions, great growth rate! Size was nice and was able to dry and use for later use! Functionality was the best for this first time grow kit person!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If you pick only some of the mushrooms , will new mushrooms grow from the spores dropped by the remaining mushrooms?**
A: Thanks for your question.
No, that is not how it works.  The substrate is completely colonized with white button myclium.  When you flush the kit as per the instructions you set all the pins within the casing layer that have the possibility of becoming full grown mushrooms.  Just like we can't re-flush a crop in our farm you can't "re-flush" a kit.  It is a one time shot.  
Thank You
Wendy

**Q: How do you know if there are any bad mushrooms you can’t eat that grow in this kit?**
A: Hi Min!  Thanks for your question.  
This is a white button kit.  The mushroom pins are bright white.
There may be a pin that dies... in this case the pin turns dark brown and becomes soft/squishy - it does not grow.  The other pins around it will be bright white and continue to grow - be firm.  
If a kit is over-watered or rH is high and not enough air exchange - there may be brown spots forming on the mushrooms.  While it looks ugly, it doesn't mean that the mushroom is 'bad'.  It just means that you should rinse/prep and cook before eating.   To double check you can always send an email to the address on the instruction sheet - include a picture - and I can assist you with determining what is going on.  
I recently received an email from someone who forgot about their kit in the basement.  When they went to check on it the white button mushrooms were completely open/flat and releasing their spores upon one another.  The mushrooms were still firm but covered in a dark brown mushroom spore.  All the mushrooms were perfectly fine to eat.  They were just Ripe.  Not picked 'green' like the white buttons you find in the store.  When picking at our farm we are selective and pick the button mushrooms when they veil is stretching... just before opening.  They are quite flavorful at that point.  Ones that are open tend to have much better and more flavor than tightly closed.

**Q: How long can you wait before activating the kit, ie. can it sit for a month?**
A: No, it can not sit for a month.  Please consider it like a living plant.  It needs to be tended to and cared for immediately.  
We recommend that kits that we ship right now be opened upon arrival and started within 3 days.  
We ship out kits from a new crop every single Monday Morning.  We take orders for that shipment for a weeks time.  For instance:  Orders placed between 8 pm Sunday November 14th and 8 pm Sunday November 21st will ship on Monday November 22nd.   These typically land on or before the end of the week.  When they land they should be opened and the half sheet of instructions inside should be followed to allow the kit to acclimate to the proper growing temperatures.  
Starting December 6th we will move to both Monday and Thursday shipping.  As in the past when Christmas Eve lands on a Friday as it does this year, We will ship out orders that are received in every 24 hour period starting on December 15th through December 20th.  So, daily on the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 20th.  
Starting on the 21st I will look at the estimated delivery date to determine if I should ship.  Since we are located in Southern Missouri, Central to pretty much all locations, most locations have arrival dates that are within 2-3 days.  I typically go with UPS or Fed Ex for delivering our packages as they have the best success in arriving on time as shown when I purchase each individual shipping label.  

Thank You for your question!!

**Q: Will they grow in a basement that averages are in the mid to upper 40's?**
A: Thank You for writing!
Growing and fruiting temperature for agaricus mushrooms (white button and portabella/crimini) is between 63 and 68 degrees with 65 being optimal.  
For more on this please visit our instructions page here:  http://willowmountainmushrooms.com/mushroom-kit-instructions
I will be happy to answer further questions you might have. 
Thank You
Wendy

Love this, I was able to grow my own mushrooms! Great value for the money, easy to follow instructions, great growth rate! Size was nice and was able to dry and use for later use! Functionality was the best for this first time grow kit person!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take your time!
*by M***Y on June 1, 2022*

The company has really set this up for a complete idiot, like myself to gloss over the very basic instructions and with a little spray here, & a good mist there things seem to take off. The one thing I'll say is they might say that after 5 days if they don't grow....wait a few more days. After my 5 days with the soil/caseing my daughter decided to take just over 3 more days and, well, were STILL getting very nice mushrooms!!! We have dried over half and eaten so many more. Thank you for providing a great product!
