Other kits
  • Traditional mushroom kits offer limited options (4 or 5 varieties)
  • The bag arrives fully colonized with mushroom culture. It is a more straightforward option as it removes part of the process, such as inoculation and incubation. However, doing so omits vital learning steps for anyone who wants to be an accomplished mushroom grower. For example, it is like buying a grown plant at Bunnings, which requires only watering to bloom.
