Reviews
First up: great product, great service and outstanding support from Mission Myco! This is my experiment with growing mushrooms on dead logs post Caldor Fire. I place the plugs into a Lodgepole pine and now the waiting game is starting. Overall, I know my timing for temps is a bit off but this is our wet season so I am hoping the mycelium can get started and go from there. Thanks and more to follow!
