Received order in perfect condition
Received order in perfect condition, with no delays. I will be a returning customer.
My only feedback would be a reduction in either price, free delivery, or a lower minimum order quantity to qualify for free delivery.
Thanks

Fantastic mushroom grow kits
The mushroom growing kit was sent as a gift as I have previously sent them before and they have been fantastic. Merit Mushrooms are easy to deal with and even wrapped the grow kit in gift paper! I would highly recommend them for both their grow kits and the fresh & dried mushrooms.

Delivery Days
Lion's Mane mushrooms are incredibly good, but delivery day was mid week-when I'm working during the week I need quick recipes - they need a little more thought than other mushroom varieties. If they could move the date to a Friday I would reconsider restarting the subscription, then I'd have more time to plan.
