They did not have to replace the product but without me asking they relaced the Shiitake and the product is outstanding. If you want to have a great product and see it grow fast that is healthy. I highly recommend this product.
After replacing the product, the product did grow right for couple of days then everything died and I lost everything.
I would not purchase from this company again but I am a beginner, if you are an expert it may be ok.
Aug 3, 2023 update, I just went to Food City and found Shiitake mushroom there cheap in a package. So, Unless you just want the experience of growing this mushroom. I would state you could purchase this product easier from Food City.

Each of the photos are only 12 hours apart. The 3rd one is AFTER I removed the ones in my hand and sauté pan! I need to find more recipes or start gifting them to co-workers!
