They provide a good setup for people who are new to cultivating mushrooms, but from my experience they were pretty incompetent with the shipping process.
I’m 50/50 now with MidWest after being a customer of 3 years. Their products, prices, and instructions offered are pretty good snd easy enough to follow if you can read. My issue after ordering two separate kits now is they seem to be dancing a fine line between false advertising and straight up lying. My first “Mega” kit said it was designed for 30 jars. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The provided tote can hold twenty at most fruiting jars. Wasted money on 20 jars due to lie or false advertising? Not to mention kit comes with the worst excuse for a thermometer/hygrometer imaginable. The next kit I bought was “Deluxe Spawn Bag” kit. Third instruction on very first page of provided instructions talks about taking the “extra lid” and setting another mono tub since kit cones with two separate tubs. No extra lid? MidWest sent one lid with a two tote kit? It’s small stuff like this that is really starting to irk me with MidWest. Don’t get me wrong, the items they send are legit, but I think their instructions and ads are more than misleading on what you receive.
