Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Sawdust Spawn

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a delicious hearty mushroom that produces plump, dense, shaggy "pom pom" clusters. It also makes a great seafood substitute, as it has a consistency and flavor similar to crab meat. What's more, it's highly versatile, as it can be enjoyed cooked, dried, extracted, or even steeped as a tea.

For those who don't mind waiting, lion's mane is ideal for growing on logs and totems. However, if you're looking for a faster-growing lion's mane, we recommend growing it in buckets (as it's a great side-fruiting mushroom).

The log method requires patience, as it can take 1-2 years from inoculation to get your first flush. But once established, a single log can continue to produce for several years if kept in the right conditions!

Recommended use:

• Lion's mane sawdust spawn is recommended for log projects and/or bucket projects.
• Lion's mane sawdust spawn must be added to another substrate or used in log inoculation in order to fruit.
• If growing on logs, one bag of sawdust spawn will reliably inoculate 20 logs.

Upon receiving your spawn:

Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!
