Very prolific. I had a mass of mushrooms within a very short time – they were fully grown and eaten or frozen down within two weeks. I didn't try for a second flush, but I will next time. I admit I didn't follow the instructions – the nameko were growing down the side of the bag, so I decided to cut it open earlier than advised and try to free the poor things. It seemed to work – I was mushroomed out!
I have loved my kits, I had two good crop from the king oyster mushrooms. All the instructions with the nameko mushrooms suggested that I was only likely to get one crop from my kit, I carried on spraying it with rain water collected in a garden butt, I pulled up and placed the cut plastic bag after each spray and I think the second crop was stronger than the first, they are starting to crop for a third time but I don't think it will match the other two. Flavour wise I was disappointed in the nameko as there is more smell when cropping than taste when eating, the oyster mushrooms were fantastic as ever.
Great customer service, good pricing, and fabulous quality mushrooms. My friends were thrilled to receive the nameko mushrooms, which immediately started growing! Thank you!
