Lion's Mane Mushroom Grain Spawn
$30.00
Our organic grain spawn is sold in 4lb bags fully colonized. It is made with organic rye berries, organic brown rice, and a unique proprietary blend of organic nutrients and minerals, resulting in robust and fast-growing mycelium. This bag has the potential to colonize up to 125 lbs of substrate, maximizing your harvest.
It is recommended that the spawn be used upon arrival to achieve the best results. Although refrigeration can extend the spawn's shelf life up to 6 months, using it earlier (within 3 months) will promote faster growth and minimize contamination risks.

Lion's Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)
The Lion's Mane Mushroom is a unique and fascinating mushroom species that stands out for its distinctive appearance, resembling a mane of white, cascading icicles or spines. Unlike the oyster mushrooms, Lion's Mane doesn't have a traditional cap-and-stem structure.
Lion's Mane is often cultivated for its unique appearance, texture, and potential health benefits. It's a bit more challenging to grow than oyster mushrooms, requiring more specific conditions for optimal growth. However, its unique structure and appearance make it a rewarding choice for those interested in mushroom cultivation.
