Midwest Grow Kits Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit (5lbs)

• 5 pound colonized spawn bag
• Ultra-fine pump mister
• Simple Instructions

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.
