Give Dad this $15 kit that lets him grow his own gourmet mushrooms in just 10 days

Psst: Father's Day is coming up (June 18!), and if you're still looking for the perfect gift, we've got you. After all, what could be more fitting for a fun guy than some ... fungi? That's right — the top-selling Back To The Roots Organic Mushroom Grow Kit is beloved by thousands of reviewers (over 17,000, in fact!), and any food-loving Dad is sure to appreciate it, too. Best of all? Right now it's on sale for just $15 (originally $20) at Amazon with the on-page coupon. Hooray! Oh, and if you order soon, it'll arrive in time for Dad's big day.

Each kit yields up to eight servings of organic gourmet mushrooms — you can't even buy them in the store for this low a price!

At the risk of sounding "mush"y, a thoughtful, interactive gift like this one really shows how much you care. Not only will Dad have fun harvesting his little spores, he'll also enjoy eating them in as little as — get this — 10 days!

If Dad lacks a green thumb, no worries, as this "guaranteed to grow" kit couldn't be more foolproof. He'll receive a box filled with plant-based soil and spawns all ready to go, and all he has to do is place it near an indoor window with indirect light. Then, he'll spray it twice per day with the included mister, and voila! Little mushrooms will start to sprout, no digging or planting required. Plus, they'll grow any time of year.

Each box can grow up to two crops, and each crop yields 3-4 servings of mushrooms, meaning Dad will have up to eight servings of 100% organic, non-GMO mushrooms to cook up. The classic kit contains oyster mushrooms, but you can also save on kits for growing mini mushrooms, shiitakes and even pink oyster mushrooms, depending on Dad's tastes. (No, you won't find those types of mushrooms here!)

This kit is also the gift that keeps on giving — if Dad shares a photo of his mushrooms on social media using the proper tag and hashtag, Back To The Roots will donate a kit to the classroom of his choice. You can help him out with the tech side of things!

Thousands of Amazon reviewers had nothing but positive things to say about the Back To The Roots Organic Mushroom Grow Kit:

"[I] got this for my dad for Father's Day a couple weeks ago," shared a thoughtful gift-giver. "He had large, delectable mushrooms within a week, so many that he shared with me and [my] sister, since he couldn't eat them fast enough. He was absolutely delighted by it."

"I grew mushrooms like a boss!" exclaimed a former skeptic. "[I] wasn’t super optimistic, since I tend to [have] a 'black thumb,' but I forgot about this after setting it up for two days and boom! Overnight mushroom growth! ... Delicious and I grew a second crop from the same kit. Highly recommended."

"Outstanding!" raved a satisfied shopper. "I had no idea what to give my dad, a man who has everything. He loved it! And the photo he sent me of the box is just like the one they picture! It is bounding with mushrooms! Plus, he gets to donate a box through them to a classroom of his choice. It's a win/win!"

Ask nicely, and maybe — just maybe — Dad will share some of his home-harvested mushrooms with you...
