I won’t go anywhere else! I am just a beginner getting into growing mushrooms.... they are so detailed on everything you need to do! And I found the products affordable! They also have other very helpful tips...
After reading countless articles, blogs and growing guides, I was ready to give it a try. Midwest Grow Kit's was identified by several experienced growers as one of the best equipment/advice suppliers in the business. Long story short, I am extremely happy (5 Stars!) with their selection, growing instructions, and growing advice (i've emailed them so many questions I can't even count and they quickly and cheerfully have responded every time).
I’m happy with my purchases from Midwest. Everything arrived as described and ready to go. One item arrived cracked, I called and they sent me a new one right away. Great customer service and the kits they offer are great for a first time grower or advanced. I would recommend Midwest to anyone looking to start this hobby or just needing supplies.

Hi, there I hope this review serves you well. The journey I set out on about a year ago has been certainly frustrating and filled with many lessons. I’m still learning a lot and I’m so grateful for discovering midwest grow kits. I probably would’ve have given up on myself long ago if I had to fill the small living space I occupy now with all things you need to be completely independent of any aids during the cultivation process, besides that I’ve encountered so many obstacles along the way you’d probably shake your head at me if I shared the exact details of those unfortunate outcomes. The point I’m trying to make is that it is certainly worth the trouble but you can make it a lot easier on your self and stay motivated and excited about this hobby by letting these guys relieve of you of a lot of the laborious tasks necessary to get you from point A to point B. I’ve managed to learn a lot and my successes keep me eager but it’s so frustrating when you have to start all over and when that does happen or if you’d like to increase your success rate substantially then you should absolutely purchase from this company.
Mid west growers is where I go for all my grain jars. I’ve only had 2 contam issues and who who knows who’s shoulder this lands on. Any how they offered to replace all 6 jars and I had to tell them I only wish to have the 2 replaced and then placed my 3rd/or 4th order with them. They are amazing. Keep it up peeps. Also maybe toss out a coupon code my way once in a while ;)
Due to the pandemic, I was curious about growing vegetables and mushrooms at home, so I searched for the most helpful supplier and resource for beginner growers on both fronts. I could not be happier with my mushroom choice. Bought an Ultimate Grow Kit and having great success so far. Midwest Grow Kits has amazing customer service (had one broken item shipped during a cold front that they immediately dealt with), a clear depth of experience in knowledge over other shops, and I can't wait to visit the storefront in person when all this is over.
An amazing experience from variety to delivery. So grateful for such a spectacular experience!
I have been a customer for many years. In my dealings with Midwest I have NEVER had a problem. Once in many orders I received a broken Jar. I called customer service and it was easily replaced. Products are top notch and always perform as sold. I will not buy anywhere else. I will be a customer for life. Thank You for the service, great products, and quick turn arounds. Steve S
Fast shipping! - I'm very impressed with the Midwest Company for a few reasons. Most importantly, everything that I ordered is exactly as described and it was all there. The speed with which it was delivered was incredible, and appreciated.Lastly, I think this is a very informative and easy website to navigate. I haven't started growing yet but I'm sure if I have questions, I'll be able to get the answers. Thank you for making everything from quality to shipping to information all top notch!
Not recommended. Sterilized petri dishes, substrate, grow mediums and liquid culture received with bacteria contamination. Both green and black mold contamination. Definitely not a fool proof grow kit for beginners as their advertisement states. Products are cheap Chinese products with no warranty. Their themometer/humidity devices do not read true temperatures. Their UVC wand has no warranty. Broke 2nd time using. Their heating mat is dying 1 week out of the box. The company is unresponsive and then attempts to blame the consumer when they do finally get back with you. There is a great write up on this company or rather why to stay away in the shroomery.
As expected and shipped fast!
Highly recommend for your research and study!
I’ve been ordering from Midwest for years and I feel the need to defend them as they had also experienced an issue that plagued almost all companies that sold spawn bags late fall of 2020. For anyone who doesn’t know, there is only one manufacturer of plastic spawn bags in the USA, the rest come from overseas. During fall of last year this company changed the material they make the white filters out of (due to Covid supply issues) and did not tell anyone. This change made the filters very fragile and simply touching the filter would break it down and allow bacteria to enter. This problem was plaguing all the online retailers and sellers on Etsy, EBay Amazon and more. I had the same issue after ordering from ShroomSupply and it was the same style spawn bag. You can look up any company and see reviews about them not sterilizing spawn bags and 1 star reviews. You can read about how the bag did nothing and turned to brown slime or smelled sour after a few days. I have been ordering from Midwest since 2016 and never once had an issue with their spawn bags until a period between August 2020- December 2020. It was very strange, some bags would do fine and others would do nothing. Midwest kindly replaced my faulty bags on all occasions and now I feel bad because it really wasn’t even their fault. It wasn’t until I started hearing about this manufacturing error on many of the forums that I contacted Midwest about and they also just found out too. The spawn bag maker even posted videos on YouTube and Instagram about it mid January. Midwest switched spawn bag suppliers in January and my last order including the replacements were perfect. The new bags they use are way better anyways. Much thicker plastic and crystal clear! I told Midwest they should post this info on their site. So thanks for reading and rest assured that any bag product ordered from Midwest now is back to their consistent quality and super fast shipping that is the reason I continue to do business with them.
