Inoculation ratio: 2.5-5cc (per 3 lb bag)

Our Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) grain spawn showcases a strain renowned for yielding plump, densely textured, and shaggy mushroom clusters that offer a taste and consistency reminiscent of crab meat. This versatile mushroom can be savored in various forms, including cooked dishes, dried for preservation, extracted for potent benefits, or steeped as a soothing tea.

While achieving fruitful flushes with Lion's Mane may require a bit more effort than with oysters, they are an excellent choice for confident beginners and exhibit consistent year-round indoor productivity. When provided with the right conditions, they have the potential to deliver substantial first, second, and even third harvests, making them an attractive option for commercial cultivation. It's worth noting that Lion's Mane can be susceptible to drying out in low-humidity environments.

Recommended Usage:

  • Lion's Mane grain spawn can be used for indoor production using sawdust-based sterile substrate.

  • Please refrain from using grain spawn for log inoculation.

  • This product does not constitute a mushroom grow kit. Lion’s Mane grain spawn must be combined with a suitable substrate to trigger fruiting.


Upon receiving your spawn:
Upon receipt, promptly unpack it from the shipping box. Unfold the bag's top to allow for adequate airspace. Additionally, ensure that the filter patch remains unobstructed to facilitate proper airflow, essential for the thriving of these organisms.

  • Weight: Approximately 3 lbs

    Hydration: Average of 47%

    Bags: Gusseted 2.2 mil polypropylene

    Filter: High efficiency .2 micron

    Sterilization method: Commercial-grade autoclave sterilized

  • Temperature: 55-70°F | 13-21°C

    Humidity: Phase 1: Primordia (90-95%), Phase 2: Fruitbody (80-90%)

    CO2: Phase 1: Primordia (500-700 ppm), Phase 2: Fruitbody (<1,000 ppm)

    Primordia - The earliest recognizable stage of fruitbody development. Also known as “baby mushrooms” or “mushroom pins.”

    Fruitbody - A fully grown mushroom, the reproductive structure of the organism in which the spores are produced.

    CO2 sensitivity - When CO2 levels are too high, yields will decrease, stems will become long and stringy, caps will be small, and/or growth will halt.

  • You can blend Lion's Mane mushroom grain spawn into our substrate.

    Note: Before you can initiate fruiting, it's essential to combine grain spawn with a bulk substrate. If you're new to mushroom cultivation, we strongly advise considering the purchase of a book or guide on the subject.
