Lykyn Review: A Mushroom Garden Worth Showing Off

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWired reviewed the Lykyn, a three-hundred-dollar countertop mushroom chamber with dramatic lighting and fog, and says the mushrooms are pretty good too.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that it's the first appliance designed to be looked at, and the mushrooms are a pleasant bonus.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe company's own blog says it handles twenty-eight plus species. That's range.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBlocks, separate. Instructions, none. Power brick, also not in the box. It's a very well-lit empty room. HOT.

5. 

   Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterMy take!

6. 

   Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThe chamber cannot heat or cool the air, but the app SHOWS you the temperature, and I have questions about the fog machine's feelings on that!

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree hundred dollars, and the one thing it does about the temperature is mention it. HOT.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, you gave me a HOT for a take about fog and a NOT for nothing. Why is hers hotter?

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBecause hers is about the product. Yours is about the vibes. And the power brick isn't included.

10. 

    Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThe humidifier tank holds two point eight liters and needs refilling every four to six days! Somebody has to carry that water!

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take: the sliding door took the reviewer several attempts, so the hardest part of growing the mushrooms is the glass.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI bought the fog. The mushrooms are a separate purchase.
