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.

So much fun!!
I love that I'm getting a different assortment every couple of months. I've had great success, they are in my monotub and they fruit beautifully!

Quality good
All blocks fruited. Shipping is a little sporadic and the shipping is pricey. Good product.

Amazing Shrooms!
As always wonderful fruiting blocks! My chestnut block took a while to start pinning & fruiting but he finally did! I did have to cold shock him in the refrigerator overnight and that seemed to do the trick! My golden oysters pinned & fruited immediately and had my second flush only one week after with even more!! Very very satisfied with that block! My Italian oysters pinned & bloomed immediately as well now waiting on its second flush! Can't wait for my next 3!!

Happy with the Lion Oyster Shiitake Blocks
Overall experience was very good, The Lions Mane had enormous fruiting, and is just now starting it's second. I dried and made powder for tea/coffee. The Oysters were the same, prolific first fruiting, and now on their second, although not as much. I made large batch of schroom soup and dried a bunch. The Shiiakes have not been as cooperative, first fruiting was small, I may have let it dry out too much (didnt have humidity chamber yet) or unwrapped to soon. Ive "reset" the block, and its in the chamber again, hopefully it'll go... over all happy with the results. It's a good hobby, with yummy results!
Great intro to mycology
Blocks arrived in good .condition and were easy to grow

Me encanta
Me fascina lo práctico que es
The Blocks subscription
Awesome! All of my fruiting blocks have been healthy and well colonized. I have gotten amazing and beautiful flushes with all of them. It drys out where I live really badly so this helps me get my mushroom fix without the hassle of getting set up to do it myself.

Just Perfect
I think the title speaks for itself. I bought this for my mom, who recently became interested in mycology. When the box arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was packed tightly and securely, and there was a letter included that explained some of the process of growing these little guys! Very happy with the end result!
