How does the kit work?

  • Place the box in a room with natural light

  • Cut out perforated hole in the side 

  • Spray with water 1-2 times per day

  • Sit back and watch the mushrooms grow from the box

Mushroom growing can be difficult for beginners so we've done the hard part, leaving you to reap the tasty harvests. Unlike some other mushroom companies, the complete process from spore to kit is done by us right here at our indoor farm in Leeds.

Our role:

  • We pasteurise a mixture of waste coffee grounds, straw, and soya husks to remove any competing fungi and bacteria that could cause contamination.

  • We then inoculate this mixture with oyster mushroom spawn (our fungi starter culture) and fill the growing bags which you find inside your kits. 

  • The bags are then incubated for about two weeks in a warm, dark room where the mushroom spawn digests and spreads across the mixture in the bag.

  • This happens through the formation of mycelium (the white/creamy stuff seen in the bags) which is the non-mushroom part of fungi. 

  • Once we see the signs that the mycelium is happy and healthy, we package the kits up and post them out immediately.

 

We are so confident that each of our kits will produce mushrooms that we offer a YME Grow Guarantee - if your kit doesn't produce we'll send out a new one free of charge. There are more extensive instructions on the back of every box, including how to get successive crops.

Storage and Postage

    Storage

However if this date has passed the kit is still perfectly good to use and any mushrooms are safe to eat.
    • We guarantee all kits produce at least 1 crop of mushrooms (usually 2-3 harvests).

    Terrible

    I ordered The pink Oyster Mushrooms, after the time specified on the growing intructions.There was no Mushrooms to be seen after 7day. I e.mailed and it was suggested I sent pictures which I did.The next communication with this Company it was suggested to me, I give it another 3 days to see what happens. Still no mushrooms, I phoned and spoke to a chap, apparently it is late in the year for the Pink oyster mushrooms I was told. He said they would sent me a new box more suitable for this time of year. I received shipping info, it's now over 6 weeks and I haven't received the mushrooms.
    I e.mailed the Company again to ask if they could look into this for me. I have not had a reply. I have been left very disappointed at this Companies Customer Service. I had planned to buy a few boxes as gifts, but not from Yorkshire Mushroom Emporium after the shocking service I've recieved and the money I have lost

    Absolutely amazing - the mushrooms were as big as the box itself in the end. Fantastic fresh, and the last lot were easily dehydrated and ground into mushroom powder. Definitely coming back for more.

    This was my first time growing any type of mushroom and I’m happy to say it won’t be the last the day after I had cut out the x they started pinning and had finished growth within a week they also taste amazing and grew really full.
