I have decided the mushroom kit was a waste of money :-( for the $20 it cost me compared to the amount of mushrooms it produced - it is hard to justify. Sure it was very satisfying to grow them and they tasted great, but there just wasn't enough of them!
We did everything according to the instructions and thought we had it in the right spot. The only thing that may have worked against us was it being kept in an old fridge? it was dark and humid and the first flourish were certainly huge and yummy, it just went pear shaped after that. Santa is bringing me a little garden shed for all my goodies, so I 'might' be tempted to try just one more time in a different atmosphere.

Oh that's no good Ally - what brand did you buy? Mine are still going really well, I don't know if I'll get what I'd consider to be $25 worth, but adding in the fun factor of it all and I think I won't be too far out of pocket.
I can't remember the brand Ali - I bought it from a stall at the Nambour Garden show. Even if it had produced well, I still wonder if I would have gotten $20 worth? It was just the thrill of eating something you have grown yourself that gets me everytime! Good luck with yours!
