        Mmm not bad. Nice hot mustard, good bread, mushroom a bit toxic , turkey's a little dry… The turkey's a little dry?! Oh, foul the cursed thing! What demon from the depths of hell created thee?

    Do they also have food dehydrators on sale? Asking for a friend.

      And an innocent local Asian grocer that can be blamed.

      Check your local tip, apparently lots there..

      • Ozbargainers check the tip first anyway.

    Is there an Aldi at Leongatha? Asking for a friend.

    • +1

      There is one, indeed.

    • ..asking for an ex-husband.

  • For people who have had these before, do you actually get at least $18 worth of mushrooms out of one of these kits?

    • -1

      Yes, would be pointless if you didn't.

        Sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination.

          Maybe the real mushrooms were the friends we made along the way.

      • +1

        Eh, as a fun activity it has value beyond the mushrooms but I also wonder if people who have used these manage to use all the mushrooms given you are likely to get lots of mushrooms in large batches reasonably close together.

        • Froze excess recently. First time but they were fine

        • mushrooms tend to last quite a while.

    • It's probably not, I've done it a few times. But trouble is you never have enough of a single pick for the whole family meal. But I never buy them at full price.

    • The best answer is “maybe”

      Most kits will grow 1.5-2kg of mushrooms, so about $15-24 worth, depending on sale price. SOME kits will regrow a few times if maintained, but not all and there’s no guarantee of it

    • They grew quite a lot of mushrooms at Clarkson's Farm. Might need to be careful with all the potential spores though.

    • It can depend. I’ve had kits where I gut a lot of mushrooms and ones tagged don’t take well.

    • Don't forget they come with about a kilo of top-notch potting mix, once the mushies are done.

    I tried this kit last time… it was a pile of s**t.
    Quite literally.

    Good kit, can confirm i made a beef wellington last time that didn't hurt anybody

    • Then you didn't do it right

    • +1

      If that was true, it would have been all over the news.

    • Just avoid the unnamed Asian grocers /s

    • +4

      If by "these" you mean "mushrooms" then yes, but they weren't from an Aldi grow at home kit.

    • Professionally grown mushrooms, and kits like these, are fine.

      Plus, they're different species to the ones she used - those were deathcaps, which look like Straw Mushrooms. Since none of the ones Aldi is selling look like deadly mushrooms, there's zero chance you're getting anything dangerous.

    I have a small yard…Do these kits take up mush room?

      Take your upvote and get out

          I tip my cap to you for these puns

    • Username familiar. Are you Mario's mate?

    Last time I tried one of these kits (I think it was from bunnings) i followed the instructions and put it in a dark place, which happened to be our second bathroom that we never used.

    I came back a few days later and as soon as I opened the door I knew something was wrong. There were thousands and thousands of flying insects that had hatched from the soil or something.

    That was fun cleaning it up.

    • +1

      Were the thousands and thousands of flying insects the giveaway that something was wrong?

  • I got one a few years ago, didn't grow a single mushroom.

  • All mushroom kits will produce a flush of mushrooms, maybe a tiny second one, and that's it. They're nice to use and watch them grow, but buying mushrooms from the shop is cheaper.

    • How much are button mushrooms per kg at the shops though?

  • +1

    Stamets says button mushrooms may not be as healthy for you as once thought.

  • I tried a few mushroom kit but I never get good results, ie only a few not so good mushroom and that's it. Has any one had really good experience?
