How to Grow Lion's Mane Mushroom From Start to Finish

Рет қаралды 215,954

Күн бұрын

In this video I will show you each step in the process to grow lions mane mushrooms in bulk. This mushroom is amazing as a meat replacement and for healthy living.
Lion’s Mane is believed to be able to prevent the neuronal damage from amyloid-beta plaques, which accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer’s disease and reduces the symptoms of memory loss. We believe that now more than ever we need to be conscious of our health and boost the immune system that is responsible to protect us from viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing pathogens. I hope this video is helpful in teaching you how to grow your own!

After adding spawn to substrate it will take about 1 month until fruiting and then 7-14 days till first harvest. It will grow back a few more times over the course of 1-2 months and eventually run out of moisture and energy.

Hey man, great vid, really informative! I had a few questions if you wouldnt mind 🙂. In the final stage when you have mixed all the spawn with the substrate you say to let it colonize for a further two weeks then you say to watch for pinning etc. I wanted to know during those 2 weeks if they are supposed to be in any indirect daylight (Or synthetic daylight) and if so is there a set number of hours to mimic its natural cycle or anything? I assume warm/room temp is needed again temp wise as well. Thanks!

The grain adds nutrition, and provides many inoculation points as a carrier for the mycelium. The mycelium can have a hard time colonizing fast without grain. It is possible to do but will result in smaller fruit bodies and yield.

Excellent video brother. Going to save this one for sure. I've been having a problem with my pressure cooker melting holes in my spawn bags! Also, the substrate bags seem to take like 6 weeks plus to colonize! Maybe I did not use enough spawn??

@SporenSprout Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! If your bags start melting holes it is most likely from the pressure cooker being too hot and not having enough water in the bottom. You can also try lining the sides with aluminum foil, that seemed to help in the presto 23 quart I used to have. It is not good for substrate to take that long, you should definitely add more spawn (I use a 3LB spawn bag for 4 5 LB substrate blocks) and make sure you shake the crap out of it to evenly distribute every grain, it is very important that the grains reach the bottom of the bag to ensure quicker colonization. Also, lions mane mycelium is much thinner than other species so it is often fully colonized before looking so. Good luck!

How do you know when it’s the peak time to harvest?

@SporenSprout 11 ай бұрын

Lions mane has “teeth” that will start to elongate when mature. They are ready whenever the teeth start forming.

I'm new to growing. Why do you start with grain spawn and not just go straight to injecting the hardwood substrate with the spores?

@SporenSprout Жыл бұрын

Because the grain acts like a carrier for the mycelium. The grain also provides essential nutrients and moisture. Once grain spawn is fully colonized, every kernel can be broken apart and mixed to create an even distribution of contact points within the substrate for quick and even colonization.

Never realized how involved it is to grow these mushrooms. I’m new to this and this might be a stupid question but why the intense sterilization when naturally they grow out doors exposed to all elements? Apologies for my ignorance if this triggers frustration for some.

tnku so much ! Why pressure cooker ?

@SporenSprout 6 ай бұрын

You have to sterilize the material so that only the target organism can grow. If not sterilized then other organisms like mold and bacteria will most certainly grow and inhibit the mushroom mycelium.

Excellent video. I'm growing Lion's Mane from your store. I know this video is a year old, and those grow bags are long gone, but I'm wondering why for many of the bags, you didn't press the air out and fold the bag over. Just curious, that's all.

i'm curious why you seal the bag after sterilizing instead of before?

@SporenSprout 6 ай бұрын

Because if you seal before pressure cooking the bag will pop despite having the filter patch.

Have you tried less time for sterilization?some people use 90min. Not sure if it makes a difference. Thanks.

@SporenSprout Жыл бұрын

The least amount of time I will do is 2 hours. I do not have reliable results with less time than that.
