OK have been looking to Lion's Mane after reading about it's results with facial nerve regeneration after Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and so far so good, taste wise at least !! Had tried a different way to cook previously but today whipped it up with Tempura batter and it's beautiful !! Now to try for the 2nd flush & see how that one goes !! Very satisfied with That Mushroom Guy's sales & service !! Thanks
Mines growing really well, tho there was a minor hiccup cuz I left it outside and it driedup a bit. But thats my fault and has recovered since! I'm excited to see how much grams itll produce. KEEEn
Unfortunately I didn't get a good result from the lion's mane kit I brought. Less than 1/2 full yield on first flush. Using the exact same grow conditions/location as my other lion's mane kits from other suppliers, I always got full yield 1st flush and a good 3/4 yield 2nd flush. Quite disappointing. Maybe I got a bad batch?
Thank you for your feedback! I reviewed all the photos you uploaded and, based on these, I believe it’s not fair to compare our mushroom kits in this way, especially as some of the instructions weren’t followed. From the images, I noticed that the kits were not removed from their boxes, which severely limited airflow. This restricted ventilation is evident in the matted appearance on top of the Lion’s Mane, indicating insufficient air exchange and excess moisture buildup.
Comparing Lion’s Mane to oyster mushrooms is also an unfair comparison, particularly as the oyster mushrooms you’re referencing appear to have been grown using an entirely different method. While both require good fresh air exchange, Lion's Mane is especially sensitive to airflow management, which directly impacts its appearance.
Regarding yield, could you clarify what you meant by “less than full half yield on the first flush and then 3/4 on the second flush”? If you’re saying the first flush produced 50% of the average yield (around 540g) and the second flush yielded 75% (810g), then your total yield would be approximately 1,340g—260g more than the yield estimates provided on the product page, despite not following the instructions.
If you had reached out sooner, I could have offered some guidance to help achieve optimal results. However, since you’ve replied in the review section, I think it’s only fair for me to address the issues related to improper use and comparison of the kits for any potential customers that may read your review.

The instructions are simple and actually work! The pink oysters were quickest to grow. They are beautiful but second flush less tough. Without looking after them a third flush is already growing. The Lions Mane is a slower grower but I personally prefer this mushroom. Texture and taste is subtle yet very interesting. The second flush is also growing with no attention from me. I will DEFINITELY be buying more mushrooms from the Mushroom Guy. My only other feedback is a cross cut is better to manage than a x cut into the bag. Go forth and grow folks. You can’t go wrong!!
Thanks so much for the feedback! Thrilled you enjoyed the experience and harvests.
Ordered both the pink oyster and lion's mane kits. Great projects that just require misting a few times a day! I set them up on my kitchen bench and have already had a first flush - looks like second flush is coming up now (pink oysters grew super fast in a week). Very happy with these kits thanks!
Thanks for your review :) The pink oyster still surprise me with how fast they grow
We received the X2 kits within 3 days from placing the order (very good). The 2 kits have been sitting in the fridge for about a week before we could start them. The white oysters did start growing immediately (first harvest tomorrow). The lion's mane are taking their time, but seems like that finally something it's happening.
So far, so good! Great way to try/start.
Thanks for sharing and for your review. I hope the Lion's Mane came out just as good
First time growing mushrooms and it worked a treat. Very happy to have started
Thanks for your review :)
This product was great, I loved watching them grow and eating them was a treat, they are so tasty and have a meaty texture. The mushroom guy was very helpful and answered all my questions. I would fully recommend trying this amazingly healthy and tasty product.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed both growing and easting Lion’s Mane.
First time growing mushrooms and it couldn’t have been easier. Instructions were super easy to follow. We now have a huge lions mane mushroom affectionately called Martin growing on our bench top.
So glad the process was easy—and Martin sounds like quite the mushroom!
Everyone can do this! I’ve already started harvesting my mushrooms already. And it’s the best mushrooms ever! So easy! All information with step by step instructions provided. Will definitely get more!
Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the harvest. Happy growing!
Value for money. Good amount of grain spawn to create bags or buckets.!great results in both!
Thanks for your review mate. Those mushrooms look awesome!
Healthy and producing really beautiful mycelium that has produced the most amazing fruits!

I look forward to hear your experience after more time! Thanks for your review Barb
I have a quarter teaspoon of Lion’s Mane powder in a cup of bone broth everyday. It’s both delicious and beneficial for my ADHD, to the point of reducing my need for dexies. Win win!
Thank you so much for your review Kirsten :)
We already harvested the pink oyster mushroom few times and the blue oyster just started fruiting as of today. I will order again and highly recommend others to purchase mushroom spawn from that mushroom guy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review! I'm thrilled to hear that you have already produced mushrooms. I truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future. Happy harvesting!
I have been taking lions mane for a few weeks and it does exactly as described.
That's great to hear Reece, thanks for your review
Just started my first ever grow bags and have two Lion's Mane bags developing nicely. Will see how they go at the fruiting stage but so far so good.
Fast delivery and super easy website for purchase experience.
Thanks for your review Michael, good luck on your grow mate :)
