To get the best growth, we recommend pairing your fruiting blocks with a growing system like the BoomRoom, a monotub, or a Mella fruiting chamber to create the optimal growing environment for your mushrooms.
-
The average fruiting block will produce between 1-2 lbs per flush (less in subsequent fruitings). And depending on the species, you can expect 1-3 fruiting cycles per block. Note that some of the more advanced species are harder to get subsequent fruitings.
-
Yes! Fruiting blocks are mushroom grow kits. But, unlike our boxed countertop Spray & Grow kits, these are larger and grow in bags. Our fruiting block kits are made from vigorous edible mushroom mycelium grown on a proprietary blend of hydrated and sterilized hardwood sawdust with other organic amendments that mushrooms love! Just follow the directions specified for each species (in the instruction book provided) and watch your mushrooms grow!
-
We want every grow to be a success! The team at North Spore will select kits with the highest chance of optimal growth based on the time of year, so you’ll be sure to have an abundance of fresh edible mushrooms for your next meal. Plus, our ability to focus on making large numbers of select species each month means we can pass along the savings to you.

Exceptional quality
These were my first fruiting blocks and I was shocked at my success. Each block has already produced multiple flushes and a lot of food. I have already purchased more supplies to innoculate logs and grain bags. This new hobby has started off with great success and I am thankful I found North Spore. The customer service is also outstanding.

We're so happy that you've had such a good experience, Connie! We're grateful for your business, and appreciate the review.
Surprised first box!
I was very happy to find blue oysters, shiitakes, and Reishis in my first box! The oysters flushed beautifully (and tasty), the shiitakes (also so good) were pinning upon arrival, and the Reishis are already showing a few 1/4" starts. Very healthy blocks, very warm support from the North Spore staff. They never make me feel as newbie as I am ✨️ Already looking forward to the next batch!

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience, Daniel! We appreciate your business.
3 Flushes per bag!
This is our second box. In the box was Lions Mane, Pink Oysters, and Blue Oysters. Each bag produced 3 flushes. We had so many mushrooms we were able to give some to some family members that love to cook. Defiantly recommend if you are starting your mushroom growing journey to try the Block Box, just be prepared to have more mushrooms than you can eat.

We're so happy to hear of your success, Robert! Thanks for your review.
I had tons of questions and support was there to help!
I loved growing these kits. My first harvest was huge. My second one, didn’t come about right away. It appears that I misunderstood some of the directions. So I want to thank North Spore for taking the time to email back and forth (a bunch) to help me understand the process. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer after the great experience working with this company.

Thank you for leaving such a nice review, Todd! We appreciate your business.
We love our mushrooms!
We have been very happy with the mushrooms. We have been getting from you guys. Usually, we at two batches out of each block. My favorite is the trumpets.
