Not worth it

Ordered and delivered ok. Followed instructions, they grew then immediately dried it and went hard. Also stank. Certainly wouldn't bother again

Customer Service is terrible

Customer Service is terrible - I was completely ignored despite multiples emails, though I ordered in early December with pre Christmas delivery it’s the new year and I never received anything. Haven’t been granted a refund

Disappointing

Like a lot of people here, I ordered for Christmas with a promised delivery before then. I messaged them and no reply. When they finally replied after Christmas, they were dismissive and didn't care. Terrible customer service and delivery. Given it 2 stars as the product seems ok. I wouldn't order again or recommend though.

Antwoord van Smart Mushrooms

Hi James,

I’m really sorry to read this. During the Christmas period we experienced delivery delays and slower response times, and it’s clear that your experience wasn’t handled as well as it should have been.

We also take feedback about communication seriously. If our response came across as dismissive, that’s not the standard we aim for and I apologise for that.

I’m glad to hear the product itself seemed okay, but we understand that the overall experience matters just as much. If there’s anything still unresolved, please feel free to contact team@smartmushrooms.com
and we’ll review it.

Incredibly disappointing service

Incredibly disappointing service, communication and customer service attitude.

I ordered several boxes at the very beginning of December. After weeks of waiting for delivery, I repeatedly contacted them getting no response at all. They arrived far too late to gift and I had to buy other presents instead. Company eventually answered in a very unapologetic and dismissive way.

Sadly, I would avoid ever buying from them again.

Hi,

I’m genuinely sorry to read this. During December we experienced delivery delays alongside slower customer support response times, and it’s clear that your experience fell short, particularly given the importance of the orders as gifts.

We also take feedback about communication and tone seriously. If our response came across as dismissive, that’s not how we want to engage with customers and I apologise for that.

If there is anything still unresolved, please email team@smartmushrooms.com
with your order details and we'll review it.

Great product

I ordered at the end of November and the three boxes arrived as scheduled three weeks later. Two have been given as Christmas presents and I am growing the third, a blue oyster, which is just about ready to eat. The boxes arrived well packaged and protected and the instructions are clear an easy to follow. No problem with gnats. I suspect a lot are bought as presents so my only suggestion is that there is a little free spray bottle in every box rather then one per set: I found it underneath the inner grow bag almost by chance! I would recommend these kits if you want to enjoy growing your dinner!

Hi Jan,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, we really appreciate it. It’s great to hear the kits arrived as expected and that your blue oyster is nearly ready to harvest.

We’re especially pleased to hear there were no issues with gnats, and that the instructions were clear and easy to follow.

Thank you as well for the feedback about the spray bottle — that’s really helpful and something we’ll take on board as we continue refining the kits.

Do not enter into any purchase with…

Do not enter into any purchase with this company. I saw these at a Christmas market in Bath and was advised to buy online as I didn't have the ability at the time to lug 3 boxes around with me. I ordered these on the 8th of December and a email with a packing label was sent the next day. This is via Evri. To date 12 days later Evri are still showing awaiting collection. Evri have told me that they have no instruction of yet to collect this package for distribution. The company are ignoring all emails and even have the audacity to spam mail me with care tips and growing tips for a kit they haven't even sent out. I am currently trying to do a charge back via my bank as they are completely unresponsive

This is a scam company.

Foolishly I didn’t check reviews before buying. This is a scam company. Paid for 3 kits on 10th Dec. Was sent a tracking number on the 12th but the order hasn’t never been handed over to the courier over a week later. I emailed and they replied saying it won’t be collected for a few days at least. This does not make sense if the order hasn’t been created & the label created. I’ve done a charge back on my bank card for the payment.

Would give it no stars if possible

Would give it no stars if possible, I ordered for a gift a month ago and have still not arrived! I’ve emailed and received no response.
I like to support small
Businesses on this occasion I would not recommend or use again.
I’m out of pocket financially and have no mushrooms.

Hi there,

I’m very sorry to read this — that sounds extremely frustrating.

While mushroom grow kits can occasionally attract fungus gnats during the growing process (as they are naturally drawn to moist environments), they should not result in the kind of situation you’ve described. We take concerns like this seriously.

We would like to look into this properly and resolve it for you. Please email team@smartmushrooms.com
with your order details so we can review the case and make this right.

Hi Peter,

I’m really sorry to hear that the kit didn’t produce any mushrooms — that’s clearly not the experience we want anyone to have.

Since then, we’ve created a new type of kit and I’d like to send you one so you can try the improved version and give us some feedback.

Please email us at team@smartmushrooms.com
with your order details and I’ll arrange this personally.

What a sad experience

What a sad experience. I ordered Smart mushrooms for a fathers day gift which has still not arrived! I have emailed the customer help team and they have been slow at replying and asked me to phone Evri to ask where the package was, however I can see on the Everi tracking that they have not received the package. Despite this I have been asked by Smart Mushroom to print and sign a form stating I had not received this and despite asking for a full refund they have ignored this and said they can send me a new one. I support the little guy but this is not good customer care, I am still out of pocket with no product and no fathers day gift

Terrible!

Ordered 3 different mushroom grow at home boxes, only 1 had 1 lot of mushroom growth and they were not very tasty! The other 2 didn’t grow at all after 3 weeks they stink! Have contacted customer support etc no refund or new ones offered just told to soak them! Still no growth!! Messy and smelly and the small amount we had were chewy and tasteless!! Very disappointing!! Do not buy!

Zero stars

I would also like to have left zero stars like the zero help and support I got.
Purchased a kit for me dad and it never arrived. Contacted them and they said I had to contact Evi. Evi is uncontactable and I told them this so they ignored me, but I tried and it said delivered on an auto service so I contacted unsmart again and they ignored me. I contacted again and someone did reply with a patronising reply and offered another kit.
I’d specifically requested a refund as I’ll never deal with these people again.
I’m still trying to get it. They are just shocking!!

Hi Vanessa,

I’m really sorry to read this — especially as the kit was intended as a gift for your dad. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with delivery issues and then feel unsupported when trying to resolve it, fathers day was particularly busy for us.

If you requested a refund and this hasn’t yet been processed, that’s something we need to put right immediately. Please email team@smartmushrooms.com
with your order number and I’ll personally make sure this is reviewed and resolved.
