Super easy, kid friendly growing process, would 100% buy again!

This grow kit was amazing! I bought it for my son’s birthday because he’s very into nature and growing things. The process to start it was easy and needed minimal help from an adult. […] My son wanted to try the mushrooms right away upon harvest, so we pan fried some in butter and topped a bowl of ramen with them. They were extremely tender and flavorful!

SO FUN

To say this was fun for not only me, but my kids as well, is an understatement. This kit was worth every penny. We were so excited to learn more about how mushrooms grow and watch them start to develop and then grow to beautiful mushrooms! I was the only one who wanted to eat them but that was ok with me!

Fungi Feeling Fabulous

Received mushroom block, a little odd looking, I reached out to them and they got back to me super fast. They assured me that the mycelium is alive and gave me 2 different ways to proceed. I chose the recommended way, I need to wait a few days. So for now I'll post pictures of the block and once grown I'll post my harvest. I'm very impressed with the size of the block the health of the block and the accessories with directions that were all included. Great customer service. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. I have to add to this review---- I am so impressed by this company!!! The mycelium is so healthy and strong. I have tried 2 other companies and they don't compare to the quality that I have received from Nublume. High quality! Highly recommended!!!

This product is so nice for firat time mushroom growers! I love gardening and love cooking with mushrooms so I wanted to try growing my own.

NUBLUME BLOOMBOX ROCKS!

I bought the NuBlume Blue Oyster Mushroom BloomBox as a first time mushroom grower. It arrived the next day just as it said it would. The packaging is modern and attractive with an immense amount of pertinent information such as USA made, 1% to the planet reinvestment, details on the mushroom being grown, USDA organic, instructions for growing g, and a QR for all the information printed right on the attractive packaging. As far as the 1st grow went I purchased the Blue Oyster Mushroom Box. It said expect pinning by the 5th-7th day. Here on the Galveston-Houston gulf coast I had pinning by day 2. I am literally sitting here on day 3 watching the fruiting develop right before my eyes! I am loving my first attempt at growing mushrooms. NuBlume has made it fast, simple, fun, attractive, informative, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The box says flip over for the second grow! I will post if my experience changes after grow #2. But I don't think it will. Well done NuBlume!

Love it! Made delicious soup!

Follow directions. Delicious! Can get a second bloom sometimes. Used ghee, avocado oil, sautéed chopped mushrooms then added a little cider vinegar (stirred), then semolina flour, white pepper, onion, garlic, and pink salt, sautéed longer then added milk.

Highly recommended!

Easy way to grow oyster mushrooms.

This is a box of pre-inoculated growth medium to spawn blue oyster mushrooms. The initial steps of mushroom growth have already been done for you, all you have to do is open the inner bag surrounding the block of material. Give it a little spray of water each day with the included spray bottle, and within about a week you will have blue oyster mushrooms.

The product itself is very efficient and works well to grow the mushrooms for beginners. If the process has been interesting to you, you can harvest your mushrooms and start over again with the spores that are still present in the square. Technically this box could be the beginning of endless blue oyster mushrooms.

The mushrooms themselves grew very large with thick stems, but not too many caps. We are going to use them to make a vegan bacon by frying them in a cast iron pan with some smoked paprika. They come out very similar to bacon bits.

After harvesting the mushrooms I am doing a second flush by just re-watering the cube, taking the plastic all the way off, and putting it back in my greenhouse. If I get a second flush the third flush will consist of breaking up what's left of the cube into a growth bag.

Overall this is a great way to get a small amount of oyster mushrooms while learning about the experience. If your interest has peaked with this you can use it to continue your journey with mushroom growth.

Easy to use kit

I am quite excited to try growing mushrooms with this kit, the instructions are easy to follow and I hope I have the right conditions for growth. Try to start this as soon as you get it or put it in refrigeration, do not freeze. You open the box and prep the bag by cutting an x in it and soak it for 4-6 hours, drain and pat dry and put it back in the box and tent it with the humidity bag. Mist it daily, as needed, and make sure you have adequate oxygen circulating by its opening. The optimal temperature is 60-80F to grow, if I had those outdoor temperatures I would cultivate these outside, but where I live it is too hot. It should take about 2 weeks from start to your first harvest. You may get 3 flushes out of this and it states you can bury it in a shady spot outside and get even more, I will try in our wood mulch pile in a very densely covered spot of my garden. I will update what happens. This is very reasonably priced compared to other grow boxes I have used in the past, and the instructions are clear. Don’t try to grown this in an environment with poor air circulation or mold, like a musty basement. If this succeeds I would definitely purchase again.

EDIT: Excellent Customer Service! Problem solved. If only I could eat mold.

EDIT: After hearing that my kit had a mold problem (likely due to Amazon's storage temperature and conditions) some extremely helpful people from BloomBox reached out and sent me a replacement kit which has produced wonderfully. I can now highly recommend this brand especially since I know that they stand behind their product and have great customer service to boot. My original 2 star review has been revised to 5!Unfortunately this kit did not work out for me. I followed the prep instructions to a T and set the grow kit out in a remote corner of my kitchen with stable temperatures and some indirect light. I misted it about 3 times a day for 4-5 days or so. Ultimately, all that grew was a black mold. Though I think my block of substrate was contaminated, my only other guess as to why it didn't work out is that I did it in my kitchen perhaps?Outside of the mold growth the kit itself is actually quite nice. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The mister bottle is glass and works very well. They even include a humidity tent for arid climates.If only it grew oyster mushrooms.

Really cool product

It's a decent size box. Good for 1-3 runs of culinary mushrooms. They taste pretty nice, like a more gamey version of a standard portabello mushroom.

Amazon review · November 29, 2023

Great if direct from nublume

Product arrived on time and i began the instructions that night. It came with a very thick mycelium barrier. But i followed as directed anyway. I had ordered one direct from nublume prior to seeing that it was on amazon. The one that came from nublume did not have the thick white barrier and began pinning within 3 days. I have a picture of them side by side attached. I've reached put to nublume about the one i ordered from here,and will be more than willing to update to 5 stars if it's resolved, till then id say 2.5 stars but rounding up to 3.

Edit: I got it to pin. I decided to break open the barrier and expose the substrate. Took about 5 days or so after that and misted it. So if you notice a thick layer and you can't see the grain, you may have to do the same. I will also recommend refraining from using the humidity bags unless absolutely necessary. I put my Co2 meter in the bag with the block early on and the reading was 1000+ ppm. Ideally you want 500-700 or so to encourage fruiting. my humidity outside the bag was somewhere between 50-65% indoors and 65-80% outdoors. I set it outside the front door for a while and sprayed it 3-4 times a day and it worked fine.

I bumped to 4 stars since it did in fact fruit, but I never heard anything from nublume since I emailed them.

They are growing, but they don’t look blue.

Actually, when I first got these, I didn’t think it was possible for them to grow, but after four or five days, I started to see pinning, and I was so psyched.

This picture is how they look after one week. It’ll be interesting to see how big they actually get and I’m not sure how I’ll know when it’s time to cut them.

They don’t look blue, though, they look black, so I hope that this is the right thing and if I eat them, I won’t like have hallucinations or something, ha ha ha.

I was a little concerned about the humidity bag that they instruct you to put them in, because I’m wondering how big can these get, if they’re pushing up against that plastic bag.

So when they start to get bigger, I’m probably just gonna cut the front of the bag and open it up, because you can’t remove them once you put them in there, because the bottom of the box gets damp, and I will fall apart if you try to move it.

Overall, I would say, so far so good, and kind of fun.

Will update with other pictures as they get bigger.

Robust mushrooms

I love mushrooms and was excited to try out the kit. I have grown button mushrooms out of a kit before, but this was my first oyster mushroom kit.

The first kit that I received did not 'bloom' after 3 weeks had passed. I contacted the seller to ask if there was something else that needed to be done and they were quick to send out a replacement saying that heat may have affected the spores during transportation. The second kit I received finally produced results, after about 2 weeks. The first ones emerged after about 12 days, after that they grew really fast and got to harvesting size in 3 more days.

They have a blue tint when they first emerge, but by the time I harvested them, they were more of a light brown color. The mushrooms were easy to harvest, I just twisted them, and they detached from the substrate. The mushrooms are really robust and have almost a chewy meaty texture. Compared to other oyster mushrooms I've had in the past, these are thicker and meatier. I sauteed them garlic, olive oil, butter parsley and pink Himalayan salt that was infused with herbs. They tasted great. I'm hoping to get a second round of them.

Overall, it's a fun kit to have. You just need to be patient and wait for them to emerge.

Amazon Vine review of a free product · July 1, 2023

Fun and nutritious

I got into growing mushrooms at home as a lockdown hobby a few years ago, and kits like this one are a great place to start if you've never done it before! Bloombox ships you a fully inoculated mycelium block - all you've got to do is soak it in water, place it in a shady spot and keep the humidity up with the provided spray bottle and you'll have fresh oyster mushrooms in a couple of weeks. Mine took a bit longer than I expected to start pinning, but were impressive and delicious when they did show up! I used the included humidity tent to keep the moisture trapped inside and my mushrooms grew so fast once they started pinning, they ended up pushing against the plastic tent (this is why my first harvest looks so funny). I was able to re-soak the block and I'm starting to see pins form for a second flush so this kit is delivering as promised. A fun and easy way to grow your own fresh mushrooms, great whether you want to learn mycology or just get the freshest fungi you can eat. So satisfying to watch - I'm sure this would be a fun project for kids too!

Great kit, from a guy that has grown mushrooms for 20 some years.

Great kit, I've purchased a couple of these and had great success. Flushes that have many many mushrooms. They taste great, better than anything store bought. I have had kits from lots of places and this is my favorite so far. The flavor and bragging rights to my guests are well worth it. Happy harvesting!

Super Easy/Big Harvests

I've praised these folks before. These mushrooms really want to grow! This kit removes every unnecessary step. I sliced the box, misted lightly, and watched Blue Oysters double in size day after day. Eight days later, I was chowing down on a nice pasta with mushroom sauce.

There's definitely something cool about the genetics here. Literally the fastest growing, biggest harvest, super beautiful, and three harvests. These fungi seem to thrive at typical household temperatures. Most homes already sit right in their comfort zone, which makes this kit unusually reliable. I placed it on a counter, followed the instructions, and let the mushrooms do their thing. I'm tempted to try my own tent with a whole bunch of boxes now. They are really fun.

The kit includes everything you need: a solid misting bottle, a simple humidity tent, and a fully colonized block that clearly arrived ready to fruit. The mushrooms were meaty, savory, and rich, with a texture that sears beautifully. Grocery-store mushrooms don't compare. (I can never find the blue ones anyway!)

The packaging makes this an easy gift for people who feel hard to shop for. They might even make a new friend. (Chris, the "help dude," will literally chat on the phone to explain things.) It's really not complicated. I was just making it a big deal because I'm a compulsive.

I do note that when I got 'em, they were 5 bucks less expensive than others. Great deal.

Great mushroom growing kit!

My wife is a mushroom enthusiast, and we’ve grown mushrooms with kits bought online 3 different times (including this one).

Of all of the mushroom kits we’ve bought in the past, this was the easiest to start.

This company also seems to care about their customers, since they seem willing to replace any kit that doesn’t grow. Luckily for us, our kit did grow.

I fully recommend this company!

Make sure to read the paper instructions inside the box!

I ordered the Blue Oysters and a Back to the Roots Kit and let me explain the quality and how the brick from BloomBox is very packed and full comparisons is 10/10 and B2tR I would rate 2/10.. I highly recommend this product. To start my husband had set it up first and he only followed the instructions on the outside of the box and it didn't grow first few days.. When I noticed it wasn't growing I asked if he did certain steps as the instructions inside the box are different than whats on outside so he didn't know he had missed a big part in the set up. The instructions inside are what you need to follow for a sucessful grow. He tossed the tent bag cuz he only went by instructions on the outside of the box so I am making our own tent bag to get the mushroom back up and alive as the humidity didn't do well. After I make the tent bag, I'm almost positive it will grow right this time, and be more successful. It was error on our end for not keeping it humid. I Will definitely order again as the brick was very full, and well packed unlike others I have ordered. I rate this a 10/10. Hope this helps

Awesome Mushroom Grow Kit for Beginners!

I just had to share my excitement about this mushroom grow kit! This kit knows how to adapt to different climates, and the mushrooms grew like lightning. It was mind-blowing to see them double in size every single day—I felt like a real mushroom magician!

Now, let me tell you about these oyster mushrooms. They're not your average white mushrooms from the store, oh no! They pack a punch with their intense mushroom flavor. So, if you're a fan of strong mushroom goodness, you'll absolutely love them. Cooking these beauties is a treat, but be warned, they might lose their color a bit. Don't worry, though, taste trumps color in this case!

What's really cool is that this kit comes with an amazing grow guide. You can tell the creators put in a lot of effort to make it super easy to follow. It's like having a personal mentor guiding you through the entire process. Even if you're a newbie or a young plant enthusiast, this kit is a perfect match. It's all about having fun and learning about nature, and this kit delivers on both fronts!

To sum it up, this mushroom grow kit is simply fantastic. It's easy-peasy, making it a great choice for first-time planters or kids. Watching those mushrooms grow and double in size every day was like having a front-row seat to nature's magic show. Plus, the effort put into the grow guide ensures that anyone can have a blast with this kit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed

In its second flush now

The first fruiting was very early and had finished growing by about day 10. After this I rehydrated the cake in ice water and placed it again for another flush.

It did nothing at all for about 15 days. About to give up and declare this a failure (one small flush was not worth the price) I decided to do a fridge bath overnight. Mushroom growers may know this as dunking. I've used it on other types of mushrooms and thought it was worth a try since the cold water bath before had not worked.

Immediately after 1 night in water in the fridge, this cake is now fruiting from all directions and will produce way more than the first fruiting.

I grow mushrooms next to my indoor room humidifier next to my houseplants, by the way. The humidifier plus the spray is necessary for southern CA weather.

Honesty

I have yet to see any mushrooms on my kit, but the instructions are super easy to understand and the price is very well.

Amazon review · June 4, 2026

Blue oysters were delicious, but no second batch

The first time through, the mushrooms tasted excellent, but were more grey/brown color than blue. I was disappointed that the second cycle of mushrooms (on the back of the package) did not produce any mushrooms. I realize it was not guaranteed to have a second batch, but I was hopeful.

Verified Amazon purchase · October 29, 2024

Very cool

Very cool product for beginners! And you can eat it too!

Mid to ok

Worked pretty well, you will get a bag of mold but don't panic that's normal. The directions for some reason don't really let you know about that part. The pamphlet it gives you is pretty junk too with not much detail and the detail is does give you is confusing and jumbled . I ended up using YouTube to get mine setup and learning how to culture what grew. Not bad for folks trying it for the first time.

Not really blue

It's been a week and they're growing but they're certainly not blue like the picture.

Verified Amazon purchase · January 2, 2026

Read entirely through all instructions before starting

Loving the kit so far! Was slightly confused on which instructions to follow as the ones on the box what’s inside are different. (Might suggest putting a stick with the new instructions over the old ones on the outside of the box to avoid setup confusion). But once I read thru things in entirety the set up was super easy! Only on day two so not sure how things will turn out but I’m excited to see!

Verified Amazon purchase · October 19, 2024

Fun little project

Mushrooms grew quickly and was simple to cultivate. They grew over and over and it was fun to watch it thrive. They need a ton of water and requires being sprayed down everyday. The box is somewhat annoying to deal with and it doesn’t look very nice but it’s an effective design.

Verified Amazon purchase · April 5, 2024

Hope it grows!

Easy enough to start the mushrooms, but we haven’t had the kit long enough to see if they grow. Pretty easy so far, clear instructions that explain the “why” of each step - that’s appreciated!

Verified Amazon purchase · September 5, 2024

Never grew, but tried again and it worked!

My mushroom never grew and I followed instructions. The seller was kind enough to send me some new kits to try and I am working on them now. Will report back, but I really do appreciate the seller helping to make it right. Update the new kit grew! It took about a month, but I kept trying. I did use the humidity tent and I live in a humid city.

Mushrooms.

These mushrooms were fun to grow but turned out more white looking than blue. Still tasted delicious.

Good value

I'm a tad disappointed that it didn't come with a mister, and that the new method using a "humidity bowl" supplies 2 paper ones.

Grew nicely, but round two was nonexistent

Kind of a neat little science trick. I followed the instructions to a T and it took a while for the mushrooms to grow. I almost gave up on it to be honest, but after two weeks, the mushrooms sprouted to its full potential. It was kind of cool to watch at how quickly they grew once the spores came in. As for the taste? It was tasty! I love oyster mushrooms but this was really the first time growing them. Definitely happy with its success.

Unfortunately, the block only seemed to contain enough to grow one round of mushrooms. I followed the instructions for a second round. Taping up where I grew my first round, cut it on the other side, soaked in water, everything. However, no matter how much I tried, the second time just did not grow at all. Oh well, at least I did get to enjoy it. However, for this being a sustainable mushroom growing kit, its not it. Still, it could be a nice gift for someone who enjoys growing and mushrooms.

Set up was easy (out of the box review)

I like this box of mushrooms. It comes with a mister with a glass base, a humidity bag (for drier climates), the spores in a block, and the box you grow the shrooms in. They came with a blue oyster mushroom, I'm excited to see the blue in the mushrooms and taste them. Tonight I set it up by removing the plastic bag from the box and cut an x an inch deep in the substrate and then soaked it for 4 hours. I will take pictures daily through the first harvest. For now 4 stars but I will update this review after harvest and adjust my rating if needed.

Amazon Vine review of a free product · June 6, 2023

Took a few weeks then it grew fast

Sadly I forgot to get pics once this really took off, but here’s one taken on the second day after it started to show growth. After that it grew so fast there was two huge mushrooms ready to be harvested within days.

It was easy to grow with this but it did take longer than the 7 days it suggests it could start growing within. I think it took it almost two weeks before we noticed growth. Then, there was no stopping it.

Am just starting to water it to try for a second round. Will update if there’s any issues with that, but so far, so good.

A Flavorful Novelty

Can I grow oyster mushrooms in a box at home? Yes. Do I want to? Not necessarily.

This was a fun kit to grow my own fresh oyster mushrooms at home. The first harvest was amazing and plentiful. But there was no successful second harvest for me.

Is it worth the money? That's debatable. Part of me would rather buy them at the store when I need them versus trying to time a dinner with the growth rate.

Overall, this was interesting to try out, and if the price was lower I would be more inclined to buy regularly.

Easy to use kit

This mushroom growing kit came with easy to use instructions. Although it grew mushrooms, I was not impressed with how small the yield of mushrooms it gave us. It was fun for the experience, but I’m not sure if it was a cost effective way to provide culinary mushrooms For your kitchen

No second Harvest in sight

The first batch was gorgeous, but it was only one and a half handfuls of mushrooms. […] They were absolutely delicious simply sautéed and garlic and butter and I used vegan butter. Mediately started prepping the box for a second batch after harvesting the first and I see nothing.

Block took more than a week to become full of mycelium

It took almost 2 weeks just to get the mycelium to spread through the block and start protruding to produce pins. I ended up making my initial cut bigger and the mushrooms started growing.

No growth on first kit; observed growth on second kit but only one flush/cycle

There was no growth on the original blue oyster kit I purchased, as green mold had overtaken the white mycelium. So I received a replacement kit, and the mushrooms did sprout with the second kit. Very cool to watch them sprout, but upon following the instructions, I only achieved one flush/cycle with the blue oyster mushrooms.

Organic Blue Oyster Mushroom are actually brown

I bought these for a niece for Christmas because she received mushroom kits in the past and another kit was requested on her Christmas wish list so I bought these blue ones for something different and she was excited to grow them but they grew as regular brown mushrooms and not a trace of blue.

Failure for me

It's been a couple months, and still so mushrooms, just some mold. I followed the directions, but perhaps the strange weather and our having to use the AC so much kept it from growing properly?
