Our mushroom Mini-Farm grow kits are handmade on our farm in Moss Landing, CA. Crafted with the same technique we use for all of the organic mushrooms production on our farms.
We guarantee your first crop. If you follow the instructions the grow kit may produce 3-4 harvests but each grow kit is handcrafted and can have different results.
* Please note that mushroom grow kit Mini-Farms given as gifts should be gifted and set up within about 7-10 days of purchase.
Our Mini Farm Selection:
Most grow-kit disappointment comes down to one thing: a block that was contaminated or under-colonized before it ever reached you. We have cultivated specialty mushrooms on the same Moss Landing farm since 1982, and every Mini-Farm is built from meticulously pure cultures, spawn, and substrate — then guaranteed to fruit.
That is why so many of our growers came to us after another kit failed them — and stayed.
We guarantee that every Mini Farm Grow Kit will produce at least one harvest when cared for according to the provided instructions.
For the fastest support, email us photos of your grow kit so we can diagnose the issue and provide personalized recommendations. Often a small adjustment and a little extra time helps a slow block start producing.

Everything arrived on time as scheduled. Followed directiona sand made my own 'herbarium with a 'kids tent." 6 days later the shiitake (indoors) blew up with a plethora of fruits. At about the same time they oysters started popping front and back. I'd send photos but 'not allowed to cut and paste' and can't find the file. The Lions mane and Chestnuts have yet to pin. Good things take time :)
They've just started sprouting, 1 week.
Students are growing mushrooms. All is well!
I bought a 4 pack growth kit and every single one worked, besides cinnamon caps! currently seeing if it will grow still, but happy nonetheless 😊

Store owner replied: Hi Aria, We're happy to hear your mini farms are growing well! Please send us photos of your cinnamon cap mini farm via email at info@farwestfungi.com, and please include your order number so we can assist with this.
These tinctures have become part of my daily routine. The quality is excellent, with a very flavorful profile. I usually take Chaga and Reishi sublingually; while, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, and the Blended tincture mix really well into my morning coffee. From taste to ease of use, I've really enjoyed incorporating these tinctures into my life, and overall a solid option I'd recommend.
Sent to a friend. She was excited and they got there very quickly!
Three out of four mushroom kits grew within 4 to 5 days. Wow, tasty shiitake mushrooms, and what does one do with lion mushrooms? The tree oyster mushrooms were so beautiful to look at that we harvested the first batch after they turned damp, we shall rotate the batch and see whether they make the second harvest. Wow, must have taken 10 days, and the pink oyster mushrooms are growing, what a surprise, I thought it may be too dry in the kit, being that it is close to a light for growing tomatoes and squash, we turned it away though and it grew. What does one do with pink oyster mushrooms? Beautiful to look at I am sending pics soon to my Mum and Dad. They'll have to see it to believe it. These culinary mushrooms delight the senses. Thanks, so much!
Beautiful mushrooms and easy to grow.
Absolutely incredible growing experience. I requested Shiitake, Cinnamon Caps, Lion's Mane, and Pioppino in the notes at checkout, and it was a magnificent surprise that every single variety of mushrooms grew beautifully. I started the grow on 02/22/2026, and the Shiitake kept producing continuously, I haven't even done a second water dunk yet. The Pioppino followed, then the Lion's Mane, and finally the Cinnamon Caps. Each Mini Farm Grow Kit was super strong and healthy! The yield were impressively large, the quality was outstanding, and the taste was so flavorful! Watching each species fruit in sequence made the whole experience incredibly rewarding. Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow gourmet mushrooms!
Fun mushroom growing kits to have at home for a unique experience where you can eat mushrooms straight from the source. I gifted 2 of the 4 kits to friends with a young one so it could be like a "science experiment" ... and I think he was entertained by it! I recommend watching the video to see how to set up the kits in addition to reading the provided instructions.
Purchased as a gift. Shiitake and oyster mushrooms grown in the Southern California desert took about a week to grow to maturity. The Lion's Mane grown in the Monterey Bay area is still growing after a couple of weeks, but hasn't grown past the bag yet. The gift recipient said that, compared with store bought Skiitake mushrooms, the home grown mushrooms were "much nicer and fresh".
Awesome kits! They took a little longer to start growing than stated in the instructions, but once they started they went crazy! We have already harvested and more are already coming in. Super happy with our delicious exotic mushrooms!
Not sure from the directions if and when I’m supposed to remove the plastic shrink wrap that enclosed the mushroom log - please advise
Mushroom Mini-Farm Grow Kits Variety - 4 Pack
Store owner replied: Hi Elster, The plastic bag that the mushroom blocks are in, they are to stay in that bag but should be placed inside the clear plastic bag (with holes for oxygen flow) around the whole mini farm. We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any more questions at info@farwestfungi.com
My family and I are fascinated watching the mushrooms grow. They are beautiful and plentiful. The tree oyster is starting its second flush so I’m hopeful! Super fun!
Great selection and amazingly productive blocks. I have already had a meal of super fresh shiitakes and am looking forward to these beautiful pink oysters. Lions mane not far behind.
Awesome kit’s and puzzle. Great gifts!!!
Exciting to watch them grow!
It was a gift for a friend and he is enjoying it. He loves growing food
Of the six kits I received, only the pink oyster has not produced anything yet. This was my first time with cinnamon caps, and they are delightful. In the past I have had a lot of trouble with mold growing on the shiitake, and I think the more closed system has helped with this. I wish there was some way to not receive the glass spray bottles - given the number of kits I receive, it seems wasteful.
Super cool to watch the growth. Looking foreword to more 🍄
The Mini-Farm is one of our most-gifted kits — a birthday surprise, a holiday host gift, a science experiment a kid will actually remember. It arrives ready to grow, with everything needed to harvest in the first week. Gifting it soon? Set it up within seven to ten days of arrival for the best first flush.
Located in northern Monterey County in the coastal town of Moss Landing, our eight-acre farm sits above the Pajaro River, overlooking the Pacific. The steady ocean breeze and coastal fog make it an ideal place to cultivate mushrooms.
The same mushrooms our chefs buy fresh is the strain colonizing your Mini-Farm — grown on sterilized sawdust substrate, the way the Garrone family has done it for more than forty years.
