Fantastic
Fantastic! It was my first time growing mushrooms and honestly couldn't be easier. My lions mane grew to be ready to harvest in 20 days, yes only 20 days from arrival to harvest, and it's huge, like a big cauliflower head, I can easily make meal for 6 people! Smells beautiful and looks healthy. I am so happy and will be buying again from Merit Mushrooms!

Poor quality mushrooms
Ordered 1kg lionsmain mushrooms. Was delivery express 1-2 days. All fine. When I opened the box the mushrooms were sodden, smelt strongly of amonia and a few bits had to be completely thrown as they were essentially mush in the tub. I tried to process the rest. But unfortunately I could not use them at all. Not ideal for a private catering job.

Lions Mane mushrooms from Merit Mushrooms.
Had to find where to buy Lions Mane mushrooms after reading all the hype about them. So bought them from Merit Mushrooms.
Great service from MM. Received the mushrooms after 2 days in great condition.
Lovely taste just from simply cooking them in a pan with thyme,oil,some garlic and salt and pepper.
Not exactly inexpensive but worth it.
Would buy again.
