Chestnut Mushroom Kit
Couldn't load pickup availability
Chestnut mushrooms are perfect for growers who’ve tried oysters or lion’s mane and are ready to take the next step. While chestnut mushrooms take a little longer to grow—about five weeks—the wait is worth it for these stunning, flavourful clusters.
Bigger kits = bigger harvests
Our kits are twice the size of most others, featuring a 5-pound fruiting block that produces significantly more mushrooms. Enjoy multiple flushes and a longer-lasting growing experience. When it comes to yield, bigger truly is better.

We appreciate your patience, as this careful process may extend processing times, allowing us to consistently deliver the best product to your door.
If your order is expected to take longer than 14 days, we will make sure to inform you.
