After lousy experiences with North Spore and others (contaminated spawn/growkits), I tried Southwest — and I’m sticking with them. Decided to try a Lion’s Mane grow kit, and I’m beyond satisfied. Whatever strain it is, it’s yielding dense, white, tasty fruiting bodies as hoped, and better than any others I’ve tried to grow. Might try from scratch using spores in future, but waiting for a second flush to come in and totally happy.
Mike has the best LC, hands down. He has cultivated the most prosperous strains over years of hard work and dedication. Look no further for your LC needs.
I ordered my first batch dried of mushrooms and tried the “gourmet mushroom medley.” I just covered them in warm water and white wine to rehydrate, and then used them to make the most mouth watering mushroom pasta. The medley provided a lovely variety of taste and flavor - a flavor bomb for an otherwise pretty simple weeknight meal. I’ll definitely order again!
Really excited for this first purchase from SW. Ordered two Shiitake based on watching their production on YouTube. These blocks arrived in perfect condition, not fully matured, but I’m not disappointed. I love watching the evolution of fungi. The anticipation of what’s to come should be worth it!
Look forward to seeing more from you Michael.
