Our Lion's Mane grow kit is a 5 lb block fully colonized with first-generation Hericium erinaceus. Cut the bag and mist daily, and it grows into bright white clusters of cascading spines with a texture cooks compare to crab or lobster. Expect several flushes over about four to six weeks.
Cascading white spines instead of caps and gills. It's a showpiece on the counter.
Tear it into pieces or slice it into slabs and sear. Mild, slightly sweet, and closer to crab than to any gilled mushroom.
Multiple flushes over a four- to six-week window from one block.
The hard parts of mushroom growing (sterilization, inoculation and colonization) are done before the block ships. Your job is to trigger fruiting and keep the surface from drying out.
Make one slit across the face of the block as shown in the instructions. Fresh air on the mycelium is the signal to stop feeding and start fruiting.
Lightly mist the cut face once or twice a day with the included mister. Keep the surface from drying out; don't leave standing water.
Give it about 12 hours of indirect light a day. Good fresh air is what makes the spines form instead of a smooth, tight ball.
Cut the whole fruit while it's bright white and the spines are still short. Then stop misting for about a week before the next flush.
Harvest at peak white: once the spines lengthen and turn yellow or tan, the fruit is past peak. It's still edible but turns bitter and loses its firm texture. Pick while it's bright white.

Usually within the first one to two weeks after cutting, then several flushes over four to six weeks. If it's slow, the block is usually too dry; mist more often.
No. The kit is designed to fruit in open room air with daily misting. In dry homes, especially in winter with forced-air heat, a humidity tent holds moisture around the block so you mist less often and get fuller clusters.
Several flushes over a four- to six-week window, totaling 2.5–3 lb wet weight. Rest the block for about a week between flushes; pushing it early usually costs you the next one.
It matured past its window. Harvest earlier next time, while the cluster is bright white and the spines are short. Yellowing with a wet, slimy surface is a different problem: too much standing water, so ease off the misting.
Indoors is strongly preferred. The block needs steady temperatures and protection from wind, direct sun and insects; fungus gnats find an exposed block quickly. A kitchen counter, bathroom shelf or any spot out of direct sunlight works well.
The kit is already colonized and ready to fruit, so there's no sterile work. Our Lion's Mane liquid culture syringe is for growers who make their own grain spawn and want to scale up or run multiple grows.
Yes. The block arrives fully colonized, so there's no sterile work or special equipment. Cut the bag, mist the opening once or twice a day and keep it in indirect light at 64–78°F.

Going good highly recomend
The last 4 were awesome an on second flush an just started last 4 yestetday
Arrived partially colonized. Just waiting for it to finish. No issues.
Have purchase 11 of these over the last few months and loved them all! I recommend on my YouTube channel for new growers all the time.
Excited to start this new hobby. Arrived safe and fast. Photo is 48 hours in the tote.
