This is TRUE Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus).

This is genuine Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus). Most Australian suppliers utilize a mushroom from the same family but a different species (Hericium coralloides) and promote it as "Australian Lion's Mane."

However, it is not the authentic Lion's Mane but rather a similar-looking variant.

Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit - Your Ticket to Gourmet Mushrooms at Home

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a mushroom not only sought out for its delicious flavor, but also for its unique medicinal properties that improve digestive health and cognitive function. It is commonly known as “the smart mushroom” and said to improve memory, mental clarity, and mood. Now you can grow your very own TRUE Lion’s Mane Mushroom!

We emphasize TRUE, because not all Australian products are made from the real thing. In fact, due to historic regulations many are made from a close relative known as the “Coral Tooth Mushroom” (Hericium corraloides) which is also called the “Australian Lion’s Mane”. This is what most Australian growers are producing and selling as Lion’s Mane.

While both of these mushrooms are in the same genus Hericium, they are different species and only distantly related. For example, within the mushroom genus Amanita you have choice edible species and also deadly poisonous ones! While both types of Hericium share a lot in common, only the health benefits of the true Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) have scientific support. For this reason, we offer you the true and scientifically studied Lion's Mane Mushroom in our grow kits.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW MANY TIMES WILL MY KIT PRODUCE MUSHROOMS?

Depending on species you may get 2-4 flushes. But we guarantee at least one flush of mushrooms.

There are many factors which determine the amount of flushes. Mushrooms are a living organism and it is quite a skill to cultivate them. Humidity, fresh air and temperature are the pillars of mushroom cultivation.

WHAT IS A "FLUSH"?

Besides a hand of playing cards of the same suit. A "flush" in mushroom cultivation is each crop or harvest of mushrooms. Depending on species, they usually appear once every 7-14 days.

HOW MANY MUSHROOMS WILL IT GROW?

Most mushroom kits are token size, ours weigh between 2.2 and 2.6kg. They are what the mushroom industry calls "fruiting blocks".

That said, depending on species, first flushes usually yield 400g-1kg.

Each subsequent flush is usually smaller.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR KIT ONCE ITS EXPENDED?

Remove your block from the plastic packaging and

Bury your block in the garden and cover with mulch or soil - this will encourage them to flush again!

Break it up and use as mulch

WHY DID MY MUSHROOMS STOP GROWING?

When there isn't enough humidity around the block, mushroom pins usually stop growing. Don't be alarmed! Your mushroom kit is still alive and can fruit. Simply remove the dried-up pins (mushrooms) and leave the block to rest for a week. After that, soak the block in cold water for 20 minutes, remove all the water from the bag, and begin again.

Enjoy the Health Benefits and Unique Flavor of Lion's Mane Mushrooms

Scientific research indicates that there are numerous potential benefits of Lion's Mane mushroom. This unique mushroom may help elevate mood, boost cognitive function, and fortify the immune system.

Although Lion's Mane is not a miracle cure by itself, incorporating it into your diet can serve as a valuable addition to healthy lifestyle habits.

When is Lion's Mane ready to Harvest?

If you're using our Lion's Mane grow kit, you'll find that the Lion's Mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) are typically ready to harvest when the fruiting bodies have reached full maturity. This usually occurs around 7-14 days after the initial pinning stage.

The ideal time to harvest, especially when using our Lion's Mane grow kit, is when the mushroom's spines or "teeth" are fully developed but still soft and moist.

As a general rule, it's best to harvest Lion's Mane before the spines begin to dry out or turn brown, as this indicates that the mushroom is past its prime.

How Do I Grow It?

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3

Place your block on its side and where the block presses against the plastic, take a sharp clean knife and make a 10-12cm cut along this part of the bag (you could cut an “x” shape or a simple line).

Place your sliced bag in a humid part of your home (near the kitchen sink or bathroom). Make sure it is kept away from direct sunlight, and keep it well hydrated. Do this by spraying the outside of your block, over the sliced area, with water at least once per day but preferably 2-3 times.

The mushrooms can take 2-6 weeks to fruit, but will usually appear within 5-7 days. Once they appear, keep watch, they grow very fast and will be ready to harvest in 7-21 days. Harvest them all at once by gently grasping the mushrooms at the base, twist and pull.

Growing even though I have no experience at all!

They are growing! I have no idea what I am doing, but they are growing anyway! Clear, simple instructions. Only thing is I am totally unsure where the best place in my home to grow them is or what to look out for or avoid. But, I also know I can just send an email if I am concerned and I will get a prompt answer, so I am not truly worried. But so far so good! Great product and service.

Maybe user error?

I followed the directions to the letter… no mushrooms grew and mould started growing after two weeks.
Maybe I did it wrong? But I was disappointed it didn’t work.

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds frustrating, especially since you followed the directions closely. I'd love to help sort this out and see what we can do to get you growing successfully. Please reach out directly so we can assist you further. Thank you for your feedback!

Easy. Good fun. Soon ready to eat.

These were easy to grow, and the rate at which the kit went from "Hmm, not much is happening." to "Woah, these are getting chunky" was satisfyingly quick.

I'm so glad to hear you had fun watching your mushrooms grow and that they're almost ready to enjoy! Thanks for sharing your experience—it's great to know the kit worked out well for you.
