Editorial Reviews:

All-natural hardwood logs injected with shiitake spawn produce mushrooms every two months for years. Grow indoors with plants or outside in shade. To produce mushrooms, soak it in non-chlorinated ice water for 24 hours. Harvest in 6-10 days. Logs require regular soaking in nonchlorinated room-temperature water every two weeks.
PLEASE NOTE: Logs are ALIVE and can't remain in the pacakging without air, light and oxygen for more than two weeks.

Summary: Best.Customer.Service.Ever
Comment: The company calls me and tells me Amazon made a mistake about shipping dates and costs. They refunded some of my money and ensured me that it will be here before Christmas. Outstanding!

Summary: Excellent customer service
Comment: It may seem odd to give an item a 5 star score when I only received 1 out of the 4 ordered but my experience with the owners of the Lost Creek Mushroom Farm was very satisfactory! I had tried to purchase logs from other sites but all were sold out - this was 2 weeks before Christmas. Found them here and ordered 4. Received 1, e mailed them, had a very fast and HONEST response stating that they truly overlooked the order for 4 and only shipped 1. That in itself was a treat in this day in age - they actually cared and asked that I call them as soon as possible. Because I only needed one right away for out of town guests that were here, I was ok with that. Lost Creek could have shipped the others out overnight and they offered to do so but I told them it was fine since the other receipients were away anyway and 1 was for my very own self! They arrived with complete instructions and a free gift with each along with an apology for missing the original shipping. I did not expect a stand or soaking tub as it was not listed as included. A bucket like most of us have around the house works well. I am happily waiting for mine to produce it's first crop and the friends I gave them to are really excited over the gift. More than anything, I appreciate their honesty about the mistake and being overwhelmed with holiday orders. They were great to do business with and I would recommend them!

Summary: Pleased
Comment: I was very pleased with how quick I received the log, I ordered it directly from the site because I needed it quick. Within the first week we had a mushroom and more are growing.... Pleased although the mushrooms only come like once a month. Hopefully it will fruit more often.

Summary: You decide if it's a good value
Comment: I had been looking to buy a mushroom log for several weeks. This log seemed like a good value compared to others I had seen listed on Amazon or other sites.
When the product arrived it seemed to me like it was missing several important things:
1. Instructions on how to care for it or how to get the mushrooms to grow.
2. A tray to soak the log in.
I noticed the Amazon product description didn't mention a soaking tray so I checked the vendor (Lost Creek Mushroom) site for product info. I found a description of the log that says 'The single log is 9-10" long but does not have a tray included. An economical way to start growing your own shiitake mushrooms or give as a gift.'
Bottom line: It is economical but the lack of care instructions is a bit much...I'm not going to ding them over the lack of soaking tray since the product description doesn't explicitly state that it includes a tray (so you'll have to provide that which might cost you money depending on what you have available to use). But why doesn't it include care instructions?
