Field & Forest’s excellent service is matched by the high-quality of their Lion’s Mane Hardwood Pellet Block Kit. Below, I share my experience according to several features.
Beginner Friendly: An excellent introduction to mushroom growing
This kit is primarily intended for beginning mushroom cultivators. It meets that intention perfectly: it is easy and quick to use, like prepared fruiting blocks, but also allows the user to experience the mushroom cultivation workflow. Importantly, the user manual and YouTube demonstration videos are concise and provide excellent guidance.
Expert Customer Service
Field & Forest is highly responsive and easy-to-reach when I have called them, which has been several times during my use of this kit. Each member I’ve spoken with is well-versed in mycology and their products, speaks clearly, and is very friendly. Importantly, they’ve gone the extra step to cater to me as a budget-conscious customer by providing mycology tips that do not put money in their pockets.
Excellent Materials
The materials and their handling appeared to meet industry quality standards. I even had small amounts of leftover materials, which indicates they ensure you get what you need, if not a little more!
Summary
As a beginner myself, I have gained great confidence from using this product and will now be moving on to cultivating mushrooms without commercially prepared products, except for liquid culture. I am glad I had chosen Field & Forest to help me with the beginning of my mycology journey. I am now a loyal customer.
