Ask it like you would over the fence.
Is this a pill? How long does it take? What do I do when the box shows up? Here it is.
Common questions
Is this a mushroom pill?
No. You get a real mushroom. You see it. You cook it or you make tea. Capsule brands mix powder you cannot check. This is the mushroom itself.
Are these medicines?
No. Food and tea. Not medicine. If you use mushrooms as part of a health plan, ask your doctor.
What should I order first?
Want mushrooms this week? Italian oyster in a warm kitchen. Blue oyster or Winter White in a cool room. Want tea? Reishi takes weeks to grow, or buy a freeze dried jar. The map is on Which mushroom.
Do I need a tent?
No. A counter. The spray bottle in the box. The card. That is it.
Why is chaga so slow?
Chaga does not make a normal cap. You wait months for tea tissue. We will not say it is ready in a week.
Is Trail of Tears a magic mushroom?
No. It is a dark cooking oyster. You fry it. Food.
Block or jar?
The block is alive. You spray and pick. The jar is already grown and dried. You cook or brew. Same mushroom. One kind. Not a mix.
How much is shipping?
You pay it at checkout. Live blocks ship as a living product. Jars ship cheaper. Free if your order is $150 or more. Start a live block within 7 to 10 days, or keep the unopened bag in the fridge.
How long until I pick mushrooms?
Kitchen kinds like oyster often pin in about 1 to 3 weeks if you cut and mist. Reishi and turkey tail take longer. Chaga is months. The product page has the time for that mushroom.
Is the bag already grown through?
Yes. Full of white growth. Ready to fruit. You are not starting from spores.
Can I do this on a kitchen counter?
Yes. That is where most people keep it. Out of hot sun and blasting vents.
What do I do when the box arrives?
Open it the same day. Check the bag is white, full, and clean. Read the name. Fill the spray bottle with tap water. Follow the card for that name.
