Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit
Our Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit is a great way to cultivate this delicious gourmet edible mushroom in your own home. Multiple flushes are possible from this grow kit by soaking the substrate block overnight in chilled, sterilized water. Once the nutrition in your grow kit is used up, and all your mushrooms are picked, it can be removed from the grow-bag provided and buried with woodchips in your garden or planter with the hope that the mycelium will spread, providing seasonal mushrooms outdoors for years to come! Growing Lion's Mane Mushrooms is only a little more difficult than beginner mushrooms such as Pearl Oysters, so we classify them as 'intermediate difficulty', requiring some special handling to minimize the risk of contamination and climate control such as can be acheived via the use of a 'Martha tent'.
