Our Lion’s Mane mushroom fruiting block has been designed to take the guesswork out of mycology so you can have fun, learn something new, and enjoy homegrown mushrooms without the stress.
Lion’s Mane mushrooms are absolutely delicious and many say the flavour is similar to crab meat. Add alongside your choice of meat or use as a meat alternative, it’s totally up to you! Aside from this there’s another reason the popularity of this mushroom has exploded in recent years, and that is the cognitive benefits research is currently investigating. It is thought this mighty mushroom may have concentration boosting properties and also be involved in the production of NGF; known to be involved in the growth and maintenance of brain neurons.
The kit arrives ready-to-fruit, which means you don’t need to do any inoculation or long waiting around for colonisation. Just open the front panel of the box, cut a little “X” in the side of the block so the mushrooms have a place to emerge, then mist once or twice a day to maintain humidity. With good care, you’ll start seeing mushrooms to harvest in about two weeks. The block can keep yielding mushrooms over several flushes, so you get more value for your effort.
You can expect yields of around 1kg or more of fresh Lion’s Mane mushrooms from the 3 kg block, depending on your setup and how well you maintain conditions (temperature, humidity, airflow). The space required is minimal so this is perfect for kitchens, small flats, or even a balcony.
You’ll find a full online guide to walk you through each step from start to finish. We also offer a lifetime guarantee — if something goes wrong under normal use, we’ll sort you out. Store the kit in the fridge if you’re not ready to use it right away; it’ll stay good for at least three months.
