Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit - Your Ticket to Gourmet Mushrooms at Home
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a mushroom not only sought out for its delicious flavor, but also for its unique medicinal properties that improve digestive health and cognitive function. It is commonly known as “the smart mushroom” and said to improve memory, mental clarity, and mood. Now you can grow your very own TRUE Lion’s Mane Mushroom!
We emphasize TRUE, because not all Australian products are made from the real thing. In fact, due to historic regulations many are made from a close relative known as the “Coral Tooth Mushroom” (Hericium corraloides) which is also called the “Australian Lion’s Mane”. This is what most Australian growers are producing and selling as Lion’s Mane.
While both of these mushrooms are in the same genus Hericium, they are different species and only distantly related. For example, within the mushroom genus Amanita you have choice edible species and also deadly poisonous ones! While both types of Hericium share a lot in common, only the health benefits of the true Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) have scientific support. For this reason, we offer you the true and scientifically studied Lion's Mane Mushroom in our grow kits.

How Do I Grow It?
- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3
Place your block on its side and where the block presses against the plastic, take a sharp clean knife and make a 10-12cm cut along this part of the bag (you could cut an “x” shape or a simple line).
Place your sliced bag in a humid part of your home (near the kitchen sink or bathroom). Make sure it is kept away from direct sunlight, and keep it well hydrated. Do this by spraying the outside of your block, over the sliced area, with water at least once per day but preferably 2-3 times.
The mushrooms can take 2-6 weeks to fruit, but will usually appear within 5-7 days. Once they appear, keep watch, they grow very fast and will be ready to harvest in 7-21 days. Harvest them all at once by gently grasping the mushrooms at the base, twist and pull.
