Our Mystery grow kit is a full 5 lb ready-to-fruit block of one of our gourmet or functional varieties, picked at random and priced well below our regular kits. Some boxes include small-batch varieties we grow for restaurants and don't list on the site. It's the best value in our kit lineup if you're happy to be surprised.
A full-size, fully colonized 5 lb kit, the same as our regular listings, at a fraction of the cost.
A good way to grow a species you wouldn't have picked yourself, from Lion's Mane to Reishi.
We grow specific varieties for chefs and sometimes have extra blocks. Those go into Mystery boxes.
We choose a variety at random from what's ready to ship that week.
Every kit includes variety-specific printed instructions, so you'll know exactly what you got and how to grow it.
Most kits are cut, misted daily and kept in indirect light. A few, like Shiitake and Reishi, have their own steps, all covered in the instructions.
Most varieties give multiple flushes. Look up your variety's page below for the details.
No requests, sorry: the variety is chosen at random and we can't take requests. If you order more than one Mystery kit, we'll try to mix it up, but we can't guarantee different varieties.
Your kit will be one of the following, or occasionally a small-batch variety that isn't listed on the site. Tap a name to see how that kit grows.

Every Mystery kit comes with printed instructions for the variety inside. You can also look it up on that variety's grow kit page on our site.
It lets us move extra blocks, including surplus from restaurant orders, without discounting our regular listings. The block itself is the same full-size, fully colonized kit.
Yes. Every variety we send is a ready-to-fruit kit that needs no sterile technique or equipment. A few are slower or have an extra step, and the instructions cover it.
I ordered these because I want to grow everything basically and couldn't decide what to get. The surprise and mystery of it was fun! I got a king blue and red reishi, both look great! I'm a total beginner but these were super easy to set up. I'm insanely excited and can't wait to see how they progress!
These mystery kits are fun to unbox and grow. Who doesn't like a good surprise? I got turkey tail & nameko.
I ordered 2 Mystery Kits. I received a Lion's Mane and a Pink Oyster. These kits are fantastic. They are easy to use and fun to watch as the mushrooms start to grow.
The mystery grow kits are so much fun and a great deal! I received blue oyster and lions mane.
I bought 4 mystery kits and received two shiitakes, a pink oyster and a blue oyster. I am experimenting with two fruit in a bag and the other two in a clear tote and perilite method. So far I have been able to harvest from the tote. Works great so far with the first harvest.
