To get the best growth, we recommend pairing your fruiting blocks with a growing system like the BoomRoom, a monotub, or a Mella fruiting chamber to create the optimal growing environment for your mushrooms.
-
The average fruiting block will produce between 1-2 lbs per flush (less in subsequent fruitings). And depending on the species, you can expect 1-3 fruiting cycles per block. Note that some of the more advanced species are harder to get subsequent fruitings.
-
Yes! Fruiting blocks are mushroom grow kits. But, unlike our boxed countertop Spray & Grow kits, these are larger and grow in bags. Our fruiting block kits are made from vigorous edible mushroom mycelium grown on a proprietary blend of hydrated and sterilized hardwood sawdust with other organic amendments that mushrooms love! Just follow the directions specified for each species (in the instruction book provided) and watch your mushrooms grow!
-
We want every grow to be a success! The team at North Spore will select kits with the highest chance of optimal growth based on the time of year, so you’ll be sure to have an abundance of fresh edible mushrooms for your next meal. Plus, our ability to focus on making large numbers of select species each month means we can pass along the savings to you.

North Spore- My Beloved
I got myself not only the explorer subscription box, but also the pink and golden oyster grain spawn as well around 3 or 4 weeks ago. These kits are amazingly productive and actually a sufficient size. I was, however, given a kit that wasn’t quite as filled with mycelium as the others, so it isn’t really producing. But I’ve been so thrilled with the other products that I’ll accept that loss as opportunity for compost and soil enhancement. Gonna make a pasta with the snow oysters today. My only question, is there a way I can switch kits to say, adventurer or something if I want to try other kinds of mushrooms without cancelling or buying another subscription?

Subscription block
I loved the first block I got and it was so fun! Unfortunately, the weather are getting too hot I have to pause it until it cool down again. Other than the weather here I'd love to have it coming every 2 month. I definitely recommend others to try to subscription blocks!
