This COULD be a great company BUT their packaging and delivery set up is poor.
Deliveries arrive seemingly at random. If you miss it (especially at the weekend) then your mushrooms vanish for a few days. This combimed with their insistence in wrapping them in plastic means that you get moudly wet mushrooms. Something too expensive to risk.
That said. If it all goes perfectly, the mushrooms are excellent BUT (as above) its gamblers chance every time.

Hi Philip,
Thank you for your detailed feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
We do our best to package our mushrooms in a way that preserves their quality while ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition, although unfortunately factors during transport are outside of our control.
We are continuously reviewing and refining our packaging methods, and what we currently use gives the best results in the vast majority of cases.
We primarily partner with Royal Mail for delivery, using their Tracked 24 service, so parcels should arrive the next day after dispatch with email and text updates.
Please do get in touch with us whenever there are any issues, as we genuinely value our customers and always want to make things right.

Growing kit & fresh mushrooms
I’ve ordered both a growing kit and fresh mushrooms now and both have been great. Watching the magic happen with the easy to use growing kit and then harvesting our home grown pink oyster mushrooms. The fresh mixed mushrooms are fantastic quality too. Website was easy to use and delivery was via Royal Mail (no problems encountered at all). Will definitely be ordering again.
