Looking to grow your own brain-boosting, gourmet mushrooms with minimal effort and maximum results?
The Midwest Grow Kits Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit delivers everything you need to cultivate Hericium erinaceus, one of nature's most visually stunning and nutritionally powerful fungi. This comprehensive kit is designed for success, even for first-time growers.
Perfect for health enthusiasts, culinary adventurers, and anyone interested in experiencing the cognitive benefits and delicious flavor of fresh Lion's Mane mushrooms.
This complete kit includes a 5-pound colonized spawn bag that's ready to fruit. The substantial size allows for multiple harvests, yielding an impressive 2.5-3 pounds of fresh mushrooms over 4-6 weeks. These cascading white, spine-covered fungi not only create a fascinating display as they grow but also offer a delectable culinary experience with their lobster-like flavor and texture.
Simply maintain temperatures between 64-78°F, provide 12 hours of light daily, and mist with the included ultra-fine pump sprayer 1-2 times per day. The appearance of your Lion's Mane will vary based on growing conditions—more light produces a pinkish hue, while increased oxygen creates larger, coral-like formations.
Each kit comes with an ultra-fine pump mister for perfect humidity control and straightforward instructions to maximize your harvest potential. For optimal results, consider adding the compatible Tabletop Humidity Tent, available separately.
5-pound fully colonized spawn bag requires minimal setup and begins producing mushrooms within days.
Produces numerous waves of mushrooms over 4-6 weeks, yielding 2.5-3 pounds total fresh weight.
Spectacular cascading white spines create a living display piece that changes appearance based on light and oxygen.
Included ultra-fine pump mister creates ideal microclimate for optimal mushroom development and yield.
Growing your own Lion's Mane mushrooms with this kit is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these simple steps for a successful harvest:
Step 1: Upon receiving your kit, check the bag for white mycelium growth. If you see small white bumps forming, your mushrooms are ready to begin fruiting.
Step 2: Make a 4-6 inch cut in the spawn bag where you see white mycelium forming. This opening allows for oxygen exchange and creates a space for mushrooms to emerge.
Step 3: Place your kit in a location with indirect light for 12 hours daily and maintain temperatures between 64-78°F. Avoid direct sunlight, which can dry out and damage the developing mushrooms.
Step 4: Mist inside the bag opening 1-2 times daily using the included ultra-fine pump mister. This maintains the proper humidity level essential for mushroom development.
Step 5: Harvest your Lion's Mane when the spines are well-formed but before they begin to yellow. Simply cut the mushrooms at the base with a sharp knife.
After harvesting your first flush, continue misting the opening, and you'll enjoy multiple additional harvests over a 4-6 week period. For optimal growing conditions, consider adding the Tabletop Humidity Tent, available separately for just $3.99.
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has been treasured in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for centuries and is increasingly recognized in modern research for its remarkable health-supporting properties.
What sets Lion's Mane apart from other medicinal mushrooms is its potential cognitive and neurological benefits. Research suggests that compounds in Lion's Mane may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) production, supporting brain health and potentially benefiting those with cognitive concerns. Studies have examined its effects on memory, focus, and mood regulation, making it a popular supplement for mental clarity and emotional balance.
Beyond brain health, Lion's Mane contains beneficial beta-glucans that may support immune function. It's also being studied for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential digestive benefits.
In the kitchen, Lion's Mane offers a unique culinary experience with its seafood-like flavor and texture often compared to lobster or scallops. It's low in calories yet high in protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious addition to your diet.
For optimal growing conditions and maximum yields, consider adding the Tabletop Humidity Tent to your order. This affordable accessory creates the perfect microclimate for your Lion's Mane mushrooms.
Available for just $3.99 with the purchase of any gourmet mushroom kit, the Tabletop Humidity Tent helps maintain consistent moisture levels, reducing the need for frequent misting and creating ideal growing conditions for larger, more abundant mushrooms.
