North Spore 'Boomr Bin' Monotub Mushroom Grow Kit for Dung-loving Mushrooms

UPDATED: North Spore sent a new Monotub without even asking! Monotub latch was broken upon arrival. Other than that, everything is great

Great product! It comes with everything you need except an optional repeat cycle timer. This is my second Boomr Bin and I like it as much as the first one. I enjoyed setting it up and am using it with a mushroom block from North Spore plus one from a local grocery store. I am already getting little baby mushrooms (pins).

Love the bin but the latches didn’t work to close it tight and my filters didn’t come with the kit. But the company was quick to send them to me at no charge and I love the customer service. Also not too important that latches to seal it tight.

Yes, this is more expensive than buying a clear storage tub. It's definitely worth it though. Holes are nicely cut and spaced, handles latch nicely, bottom black portion is exactly half vs a storage tub that you'd need to paint or tape and then have a lid all the way at the top. Separating the top gives you easy access to the media since it's half and half. Really like it and worth the cost over a storage tub.

All very low quality with inconsistent operation, all very cheaply made and very very overpriced for the quality, no warranty, no durability, controls barely work. You can make or purchase better materials yourself from other distributors.

I absolutely am amazed with how well this works. I’m using it to keep a Martha tent at 80-95% humidity and it only used just under a quarter of the water to get it up to the humidity and now it’s been maintain that humidity for over a week and I haven’t even used half the reservoir. I’m quite impressed. It is working well above my expectations. It also puts out a very fine mist that is like a haze so it produces moisture that is very fine so you don’t get a mess everywhere when it’s running. I would definitely recommend this for keeping humidity maintained in an area that is up to a 4’ x 4’ x 8’ tent. It would probably work just fine on larger tents too but would likely need to be refilled more frequently. I haven’t tested larger sizes though, so that’s just my gut feeling on it.

I’m very disappointed with North Spore regarding this product. It arrived with NO INSTRUCTIONS on how to automate mushroom production for different mushroom species. Yes, there were instructions for the MYCO controller and the MYCO-MISTER, but nothing about using the monotube to produce mushrooms. Unfortunately, instruction #7 for the MYCO-MISTER mini says, “Do not fill beyond the max fill line.” THERE IS NO MAX FILL LINE! The FAE fan comes with 4 bolts, one of which had no head and required a washer (from me) to attach the fan to the tub. Additionally, the tub itself seems very flimsy compared with a Sterlite tote, for instance, which many growers use to make their own tubs and it has latches that make it extremely difficult to seal the lid. The YouTube videos I’ve watched on this product (including those from North Spore) refer to instructions regarding assembly (which isn’t very difficult) and, more importantly, how to adjust the air and humidity for different mushrooms. Without these instructions, what good is an automated tub? If the Boomr Bin ultimately works, it will have been worth the price, but the lack of quality control, quality materials, and consumer respect is a big disappointment for me in a company that has always provided quality service in the past.

Great for beginners and customer service is great. I had an issue with my order being damaged on delivery. Went and emailed customer support and within 48 hours they had a replacement sent out without question. Absolutely love the company and would recommend. The product itself is great and high quality. Easy for growing mushrooms if your not highly experienced

North Spore always provides great quality growing equipment

Showed up broken. Spent a small fortune on this set up to be let down by a broken product. Went from extremely excited to disappoint.
