We want you to grow your own mushrooms, so we will happily replace your spawn if it fails to grow mushrooms, under the following terms; no extra cost if the spawn we sent you was the problem; half the listed price if you had bad luck or made a mistake! Please do not return any spawn, rather, send photos if you have concerns. By placing an order with Forest Fungi, the buyer agrees to waive any rights to sue for loss or damage caused by the use or misuse of any product sold by Forest Fungi.
