Great product, such a cool concept. Amazing to see these incredible Oyster mushrooms growing in my kitchen - an almost-alien life form!

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.

Package did not arrive

Placed an order on the 10th of June, that was supposed to arrive in time for Father’s Day. Today is 19th and still no package. Contacted the company about it on the 17th, no answer , even though they say will get a reply within one day. I just want a refund now. Waste of time.
So no, I would not recommend.

If I could leave zero stars I would

If I could leave zero stars I would. Had a really disappointing experience with this company. My son (out of his own money) bought a kit for Father’s Day for his stepdad. The first kit came and the box was smashed in, not really an issue but the front panel was missing, the panel that you take off ready to grow. When we lifted the bag out of the box, it was black, I checked online and it shouldn’t have been black mould. I contacted the company and they said yes it’s contaminated and sent a replacement. I asked nicely if could def recheck before sending as was coming the day before Father’s Day, I was assured they would.

The box came 2 days later, the box was fine and no missing parts. Sadly, as we took the bag out it was exactly the same. So much black mould. As we were advised to throw away the last box due to contamination, we did the same. Having sent pictures, we were told it’s not contaminated!! Even though it’s exactly the same as the first box.

Whatever machine is used to seal the bags at the top, is also damaging the bags meaning air is getting in before you are ready to grow.

I’ve been refused a refund. £22 may not be much to most, but it is to my son, I’m so annoyed and hope this is taken seriously.

I wish I could attach the photos as proof to you all. Please don’t waste your money.

Very disappointing!

Just had a very disappointing experience with Smart Mushrooms! Decided to go all in and bought three oyster mushroom growing kits…When the kits arrived they were left by the courier in heavy rain and the cardboard box they were in was saturated to the extent that the boxes packaging holding the kits was also damaged. Now ordinarily I wouldn’t have complained but two of the kits were bought as presents (my granddaughter and partner)…so I contacted the customer‘support’ department who offered me ‘new packaging’ for the kits as the mushrooms inside the plastic would not be affected. I didn’t take them up on this very miserly offer. However, having returned from a working trip I noticed the mushrooms had started growing with no help from myself. Once again I contacted customer support and asked for three replacement kits. They have refused this request saying the kits are doing what they are supposed to…which is very frustrating considering I bought them originally in good faith as a ‘different’ type of present.
I will not be buying anything else from this company! Very poor customer support!!!

Hi Cliff,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. While the mushrooms inside the sealed bags are protected from external moisture, we completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive damaged packaging — especially when two of the kits were intended as gifts.

Since your review, we’ve made changes to our packaging and overall kit presentation to improve reliability and storage. I’d like to send you one of our updated kits so you can experience the improvements firsthand.

Please feel free to contact us at team@smartmushrooms.co.uk
with your order details and I’ll take care of it personally.

I received the product as a gift

I received the product as a gift, it started growing out in the box before I had a chance to use, which kind of spoils the fun and point of it.

I emailed and they response disappointing, they say you should start them within two weeks or put it in the fridge. I search the box, no indication of this and I can’t find it on the website - if it’s there it’s hidden.
