Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit Fruiting Block

Our lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) fruiting block features a strain that produces plump, dense, shaggy mushroom clusters. Lion's mane mushrooms are highly versatile and can be enjoyed cooked, dried, extracted, or even steeped as tea! In addition to making an amazing meat substitute, it is an absolute culinary dream both in texture and flavor. That’s because, when cooked, it has a consistency and flavor similar to crab meat.

Though slightly harder to get flushes than oysters or shiitake, lion's mane fruiting blocks are still a great mushroom for confident beginners. They colonize quickly and are relatively reliable producers. It's important to note that Lion's mane can be prone to drying out if the ambient humidity is too low, so we recommend that you water it generously or grow your fruiting block in a humidity-controlled chamber, like a monotub or martha tent.
