Gaining popularity for its use as a medicinal mushroom as well as its unique culinary qualities, Lion’s Mane are a fascinating fungi to grow. It has a stemless fruiting body and a fluffy ball-like appearance. The "teeth", which form like icicles all over the fruiting body, elongate as it reaches maturity.
Be very careful when handling Lion's Mane if you plan to sell your harvest as they bruise extremely easily.
We recommend using 50 plugs for a log of 100 - 150mm in diameter and 1000mm in length.
Ideal log size is 100 - 150mm diameter and no less than 600mm in length.
Use only freshly cut hardwood logs, 3-5 days old.
Best species of hardwood for mushroom cultivation include:
Incubation period: 6 - 12 months (log cultivation is a long game). Once colonised your log can fruit seasonally for 5 or more years.
Incubation conditions: Keep your logs somewhere shaded, protected from the wind and a cool temperature. Keep them moist, don't let them dry out. Keep them off the ground otherwise competitor fungi might take over.
Pinning temperature: 10 - 15°C
Pinning humidity: 90 - 100% relative humidity
Fruiting temperature:
Range: 18 - 24°C
Ideal: 18 - 21°C
Fruiting humidity: 90 - 95% relative humidity
CO2 concentration: 500 - 1000 ppm
