Morel Mushroom Growing Kit (Morchella esculenta), Compatible with Any Soil Type Across The U.S., Outdoor Garden & Backyard Cultivation Set with Full Instructions - Made in The USA

Since it takes a few years to see results, I cannot give a review of the product, but the transaction was good and arrived speedily! There is more preparation involved than I had anticipated, but it will be worth the time spent.

Company guarantees product--"We guarantee that, environment permitting; your morel spawn is capable of producing Morel mushrooms in a properly managed Morel Habitat with proper environmental conditions. The total number of mushrooms you can expect to get in each habitat may vary from year to year, and will depend on the care of your Habitat and environmental conditions. We test each batch of spawn. If we find that any batch of spawn is unable to produce morel mushrooms, we will send you new spawn free."I purchased product as gift for my wife in June 2018. We prepared an environment per the instructions. No mushrooms the first year. In emailing company they stated we would have to wait two years for mushroom to grow. Fast forward to June 2020. We emailed again, as we have no mushrooms. We live in midwest climate where morels grow naturally quite well. Company REFUSES to respond to multiple emails or honor their guarantee. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT IF YOU EXPECT IT TO BE GUARANTEED. Will NEVER recommend to anyone. Shame on Amazon for allowing this vendor on their platform.

Made 2- 30' raised beds last Fall. Beds: sandy loam, gypsum, Lyme, black med. coarse wood mulch, western bark, partially burnt oak chunks, straw, wood ash, fallen maple leaves, coffee grounds. Beds about 12" tall. Turned the soil 3 times after breaking the spore kit into various size chunks. I placed several cinder blocks on top of the Beds. 2 of the 5 morels grew inside the cinder blocks. I did buy some other sawdust spawn from Marky Mark's on Amazon, made a spore slurry with 3 of those and dumped the slurry all over the Beds. There appears to be 2 maybe 3 different strains, so I believe we're viable. Yes, it's important you get a viable product, but it's equally important your soil contents are morel friendly as the above list is. I have about $400 invested in the 2 raised beds, but believe once well established, they'll yield much more. Everything I did, I found online. Also, watched all the YouTube videos about growing morels, spore slurries, soil PH, and raised beds.

We followed the directions when we planted them and got nothing the first season. According to the instructions you may have to wait longer so we are! I will change the rating on this product based on future success or failure!

Very cool kit, just know that the presentation of it is a little weird. It's just a bag of what looks like dirt inside an unmarked cardboard box. So, if you are buying it as a gift expect to spruce up the packaging.

Great product! I bought 3 of these to put on my land that I have. They come as basically a little brick sized clump of dirt. I followed the instructions and let them rest in my refrigerator for about a week before planting. I found two spots near where the water runs on my land and that were a little different from each other and tilled the soil up. sprinkled 1 and a half of the blocks in each spot. After sprinkling them in the fresh tilled dirt I took a hoe and moved the dirt around to mix it in. After that I covered the soil in a layer of cow manure and compost that I bought at lowes. Then on top of that I bagged my lawn when mowing and threw a layer of grass clippings on top. Came back a week later after a rain storm and there was one baby morel that had already popped! I couldn't believe it. This is the end of September in Missouri and I had a morel! The description said it could take up to two years to see morels so I am beyond impressed. I look forward to check back soon in hopes of more!

2019. May 2. We did not get any mushrooms this year from our garden and we have faithfully fed it. People have been and did find morel mushrooms in abundance in our area this year, so that is why we think our spores were duds. I cannot figure out how to activate the “guarantee”. Personally, I would like to try again with some new spores, but I don’t know how to request them.(2018 - Just getting ready to review - We planted ours last Fall and have continuously fed the bed scraps of lettuce and other organic vegetable waste and egg shells. So far this Spring, no mushrooms, but we are not giving up hope. We will update if we get mushrooms this year, if we do not we will wait and update next Spring. We are in SW Missouri and have had a cold Spring this 2018.)

I took some of the mix and added it to the soil under a hardwood tree in my backyard in early fall of 2023. The rains washed much of that dirt under the fence and into a more shady spot among some ivy. Over the last week (spring 2024), I have been collected morels already!Just placed another order to put along a similar area nearby!
