An Idea is born
Everyone kept saying to us, that they have never managed to find a mushroom growing kit that actually works, this in mind we developed a kit, made here in the UK that is guaranteed to work.
With high yield compost within each box our mushrooms also taste great having a much better taste than shop bought mushrooms, for a truly gourmet mushroom experience. Growing your own mushrooms at home has never been easier, for beginners and experts and we are here to guide you along the way.

The Vision
