I couldn't love these logs more. I posted a customer image of my logs just one week after receiving them, showing all the mushrooms growing on them. They also taste great! Much better than the commercial kind grown on compressed sawdust. Plus, it is so much fun to watch them grow! I looked forward to getting up and seeing every morning how much progress they made.

I also calculated I will be saving money in the long run. I purchased shitakes frequently from the grocery store at $3.50-3.99 for a small package, so based on my buying habits and a very conservative estimate, these logs will pay for themselves in a year. Since they should last three years, that's great!

I purchased this kit as a birthday gift for my food-loving father. He is thrilled! The kit is complete with everything you'll need to enjoy beautiful tasty shiitakes on a regular basis. The instructions are very thorough and easy to follow. He's been growing mushrooms since October now and every crop is better than the last. This would make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in food!

My Logs arrived fast with great communication from Seller. It included very detailed and complete instructions, with a very generous Waranty. Logs fruited within a week of arrival.I'm very satisfied and happy with this kit and would recommend it to the inexperienced and the seasoned grower.
