I've had 2 orders from them. The first was a bagged pearl oyster sawdust kit for indoors. It took a while getting here and started flushing while in the box in the UPS trucks. When it arrived it had eaten about half the Fungi Perfecti catalog included in the box. I was able to get 6 pounds of mushrooms from it and I made other kits from it.

The second time I ordered shiitake mushroom plugs. I got some small maple logs from a recently fallen tree (wind damage) and installed the plugs in it and used wine bottle wax to seal the holes. This year I missed the first flush for them because I was using the logs as boarders for my blackberries and I neglected to keep weeds clear so I could see them. I weighed them and there was 6 pounds of shiitake mushrooms. All were too old to eat though. Pic related.

I'm planning on selecting a few tree limbs and ordering more plug spawn. This time to make an actual area to grow mushrooms. Fungi Perfecti's kits are good from my limited experience.

Morels are super difficult to cultivate.
