How many harvests are you guys getting? I'm looking at this from an economic standpoint -- so is it cheaper than buying mushrooms at the grocers?

One harvest. About one to two ounces in all. I would buy from a store, as this product does NOT work as stated. The company may try to make you think it is you, but how hard can it be? Soak it, spray it, spray it, spray it. It's not rocket science. It just doesn't work.

The number of harvests is clearly stated: one from the one front panel and one from the opposite back panel. The size of the harvests will depend upon following the instructions exactly, and your luck in possibly getting two harvests from one side or both. The instructions make no mention of multiple harvest. From my experience the instructions are fool-proof, and the pictures reasonably show the size of the harvest you might expect.

This product is designed for education and fun. Even under ideal circumstances you will not get the yield to compete with grocery market prices.

I got two out of my box, but the second harvest was smaller than the first. It was also grown in a much drier location than the first, so I'm guessing that if we'd kept it in the wetter climate at our house, the second harvest might have been bigger.

It's been my experience that if something is healthier there's a premium to pay. I don't understand this either but the dried cherries that I buy from Traverse Bay Fruit Co. are well worth it.

Thank you for contacting us. Our Mushrooms are the White Button Mushrooms. These would be the same you would find in your local grocery store.

The 50 billion is not having the effect I was wanting. The important thing is that no matter how many billion, but that the product contains 'at least 10 different strains of the organisms'. In over the counter products you get maybe 1-3 strains. I think I'll go down to 'fewer billions' since that will be less expensive.

I planted it last year and have not seen any mushrooms yet. The kit says it may take as many as 3 years to produce mushrooms. So i dont think you would have any this year, but you never know

I started with 6 weeks long time period in my 60 gal tank, per bottle.Well, in 8 months time, my aquatic jungle has been harvested 3 times. My tank is 24 inches tall, and I had lillies growing ouy of the top. More plants....more CO2 I got another for a smaller tank and uses 6 times more due to a miniscule leak. :(. And they are expensive. I am a ruralite and am dragging my feet to get into town for a better setup. It may be a good "Starter" setup. BTW, the "leaker" valve on a 10 gallon moss shrimp tank, goes thru 6 times faster than my "jungle" 60 gal.....IMHO, the "20" is a piece of junk as well....Fluval needs to start over and do it right.......

You are very welcome. I would definitely order the bulk packaging. I got it for less than 50% of the store price locally.

Technically we can ship the product to Canada, but the cost of shipping is twice the cost of the product itself, so without making a special arrangement of some sort, like shipping multiple units together, it's very expensive. For that reason we normally don't ship to Canada. Owen Tallman Chief Mushroom Officer

yeah it almost tripled in price and isn't available for subscribe & save anymore either... I need to find some other place to get it for cheaperEdit: just found on the bob's red mill website you can get a 25lb container for very cheap... I'll probably end up getting one of those since I use so much of it anyways.

Thank you for your response! I looked on your website, and I think it's for bulk buying, and I don't need alot of items in bulk. Thanks again

What I received was a cellephane sack of gnarly looking shitake mushrooms--and I mean this in the best possible way. If they'd been processed in anyway beyond being plucked, dried, and stuffed in the bag I'd be surprised. The only concern I'd have is what the soil conditions had been; and I again, I don't know. We've used them in multiple dishes and they're great tasting!

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com

Problem with buying perishable items online is that you don't see the expiration date until it comes to you. Too bad! Another thing I've been noticing with many items is that they sell them by the cases!!! Not all customers are whole families, then one has to start calculating to find the individual price to compare, but it's not the true individual price since by the case it might be a little less. Sigh...

If memory serves, I remember counting out about 100 nuggets contained within the entire package. If it's available at a good pricing point like when I ordered mine then I say go ahead if you wish as it did have a good (and delicious I might add) amount of candy inside. Hope this helps you decide. ^JD

I believe that is just a 12pack box. When I bought it a year ago it was from a different vendor and it was about the same price per box of 12 - the vendor I bought mine from had four boxes of 12packs for sale and it average out to about 14.75 a box. Yes, I know I can buy it at Sam's club but it is a mixed pack with boxes that contain 6 packages in each box and no one in our family likes the Raspberry (ugh), and not the French Vanilla all that much. So it is not a money saver as Mrs. Campbell is commenting on. I for one think the White Chocolate is the best and appreciated being able to buy it in bulk for the holiday/winter season.

My experience is similar. Not a quality product and i do not intend to order from that company again. NuNaturals is good but they have raised the price considerably. I'm considering Now Foods organic product for my next purchase.
