Chestnut, Blue Oyster and Lion's Mane, chosen because they pin on different clocks. Something is always about to happen.

Every block is inoculated, grown out and fully colonised in Grand Rapids before it is sealed. It leaves here as a finished thing, which is the entire reason there is nothing for you to do with it.

What you do: stand it upright, out of direct sun, between 15 and 24 degrees. Cut nothing, add nothing, spray nothing. When it fruits, twist the cluster off at the base rather than cutting, and leave the block where it is for the next flush.

Staggering them was the right call

Three bags but they never competed for the windowsill. Something was always either pinning or being eaten.

Blocks leave Grand Rapids Monday to Wednesday so nothing sits in a depot over a weekend. Order before 11am ET on a Wednesday and it goes that day, otherwise it goes the following Monday.

Ground is $9.50 and free over $75. Express is $22, Overnight is $44 and runs Monday to Wednesday only.

If the forecast on your route looks genuinely bad we email you and hold the block rather than cook it in a truck.
