Fast shipping. Product works as advertised. Lower risk way to grow shrooms than a larger monotub.

Got my order in a few days, and now currently i have 4 pods that are all about 50% colonized ! It took a little over a week to start seeing mycelium, while my old way took 2x longer so that in itself is great. I cant wait for fruiting, i am very happy with what i see so far, and look forward to a harvest.

I ordered two ryza pods because I want to try mushroom growing and I wanted something that was simple a beginner. I ordered the pods and when they arrived I read the simple instructions and inoculated them. A week later I ordered four more pods since I had extra spore syringes. It was exciting to watch the first two cultivate and eventually take them to fruiting stage. I had harvested the first flush, dunked the pods and am set up for a possible second flush. Of the other four pods only one cultivated. Who knows why. Could have been a fluke with the spores. I don’t know. I emailed ryza asking and they just turned around and sent me three replacement pods without me even asking. Who does that??? Wow! So they should be getting here in the next couple of days and I’m very excited to inoculate them also to see what happens. I have also written ryza with general questions and they have been very timely, usually that same day, with suggestions and answers. Fantastic. I recommend ryza for anyone looking for a simple path to growing mushrooms without the costly and complex setup. Without a doubt they are fantastic.
