So homeschooling high schoolers is a very different thing to homeschooling primary school kids and when it comes to things like science experiments we are definitely in the season of “I’ll watch a video on YouTube, thank you very much.” But throughout our homeschooling lives we have always had something interesting growing on our kitchen counter and when I saw the Mushroom Box on instagram, I knew that was a good fit for us… All the curiosity questions, all the observational science, and you get to eat it, it is an absolute winner.

And the best thing about The Mushroom Box is, after our first boom of mushrooms we were able to twist our inner package around and grow another fresh batch from the far side… it literally is the gift that keeps on giving!!!
