The Lion's Mane mushroom, also known as Hericium erinaceus, is a DELICIOUS mushroom that's easy to grow at home. I got a kit from www.fungi.com and tested it out with my cousin...and it's now my favorite mushroom to grow (and eat) of all time. It tastes buttery, like a nice piece of lobster or crab.
Best of all, it only takes a couple of weeks to grow and you can get multiple harvests off of the same patch. Once the patch is finished, you can use the mycelium to inoculate wood logs in your yard so you can cultivate Lion's Mane year after year.

It's easy to grow fungus, but growing the one you want is the hard part

@littlered55555 10 месяцев назад

The mushroom substrate a.k.a the food is sterilized and is a blank slate for any fungus to get in… So at that stage, the lions mane is the primary fungus who has taken most all of the food, and therefore controls that general area… But it’s not impossible for a foreign spawn to make its way in an infiltrate if you are careful

@TripleDDDD 5 лет назад

Watched this video 2 months ago. After that ordered my own grow kit. It went great, first it was a bit slow but then I put it nearer to a lamp. harvested about 500 grams first flush and about 1kg second flush. Love the chewiness of Mushroom, it s much like squid.

@epicgardening 5 лет назад

@balagtas1020 5 лет назад

Does it still grow???

@TripleDDDD 5 лет назад

voltaire balagtas no. It consumed a lot of the nutritious mix and I wanted to do the next step, clone the spores and create my own grow bags. But I got a bad stomach disease (unrelated to mushrooms) and could not care for the mushrooms, they dried out. Dumped the whole thing (without the plastic) in a nearby forest, maybe it will grow there. And I will re-start from scratch. Still looking for a better place to grow as well, since I did it in my tiny single room city apartment and read some stories that spores can be very unhealthy on the lungs.

@noodleboi6711 3 года назад

You can take the bag after the first three or so flushes of mushrooms then move them to something like a monotub with more substrate, wait a little while to colonize then they will grow new mushrooms. Some mushrooms are many thousands of years old spaning many acres if you give them food and the right environment they will flourish

we got one of those last Spring. Got 2 flushes out of it. We used a little laundry basket to give form to the plastic tent. Worked well for keeping the plastic bag from touching the mushrooms. Have since bought wood chips, bags and spawn to make our own. I have a 41 Qt All American Canner to sterilize the wood chips.

Thanks for spreading the news about mushroom cultivation. Especially the nod to Fungi Perfecti. Paul Stamets is/has done amazing work concerning saving ecosystems and ourselves w/fungi. I just began cultivating fungi this last summer and have a lion's mane 'block' almost ready to fruit now. I would encourage all viewers interested to look into the amazing benefits of mushrooms, for health, the ecosystem, food and fun! Also- I believe it's better NOT to 'stab' the mycelial mass when cutting holes for fruiting. Cheers to being beshroomed!

Yeah, Stamets is AMAZING. Good call on the stabbing - in my kit I was a bit more delicate than my cousin ;)

To remove Chorine from city water, simply let sit exposed to air overnight. Pour water into a bowl and leave it on the counter for 12 or more hours. Chorine naturally evaporates away. Also, there is a small error in temperature to dry out mushrooms. Turn pan on lowest heat setting. Alternatively, you can slice as recommended and place it in an oven at its lowest setting. Great job on describing taste and texture and showing the value of drying out before cooking.

@@jeffroach6402 yes and no. Yes it helps to have very sterile and clean environment when fruiting as it i improves the quality all around. I agree with taking the most precautions as possible. No it's not 100% necessary as the mycelium has colonized the substrate enough that mold and bacteria in the air is too small to do anything. I have good luck and 3-4 flushes at a time before it loses it's health. I never use gloves (in fruit stage) or supper sterile practices when in fruiting have had a few contain, but everyone does. That was in the beginning now i got it down and have a heppa filer in the room along with a labcoat /mask/footie. That seemed to do the trick as long is you keep it clean it not a big deal just use common sense.

Can the top growth be used for any sort of transfer to other substrate? To keep good genetics in a perpetual growth cycle?

Seems like that would be the case.

Making crab cakes... using these for the crab is a beautiful way to eat these.

Does preparing it this way include the brain & gut health benefits of Lion's Mane?

I’ve learned that with mushrooms it’s all about combining the right ones and the right ratios. Evolution apothecary has it down. I’ve been trying to grow and extract my own for years but have yet to find it comparable

just bringing water to a boil doesn't get rid of chloramine, unless you boil for like 2 hours(given the approximate volume he had in that pan) kudos for your efforts

@epicgardening 5 лет назад

Correct, on my site I talked about campden tablets to get rid of the chloramine

What if you used distilled water? Does it matter if the water has minerals?

@机Olga Chloramine kills fish and frogs in these concentrations, thus it has sufficient biologic impact to be concerned about it's impact on your myceleum.

@@MarcyStuart I would use reverse osmosis filtered water myself, from Whole Foods in store machine. BYO bottle, $.49 per gallon. Mushrooms concentrate environmental toxins.

@ivermec-tin666 5 лет назад

If your local water is treated with chlorine... 24 hours in an open topped container, such as a bucket, at room temperature and the chlorine will evaporate to the point that you can use it for your fish or amphibians... This should suffice for growing fungi, assuming your local water is free of contaminants.

How long did it take to grow that mushroom?

@mitch9345 2 года назад

How do we know when the fruits are ready, if you leave them growing out of the bag will they just get bigger and bigger?

I bought a kit three weeks ago and I still don’t see any colonization. Any ideas?

@anncl3983 3 года назад

I wish this had been about growing mushrooms or at the most the intro to growing mushrooms. What species of trees can be innoculated? What are the conditions? What problems might one encounter? Does one have to sterilize or do anything special to prep the tree trunk for innoculation? Any temperatures or humidities or lighting conditions we need to know about??

Only use hardwood. It's best to get a log that's less than one month old, else too great a risk of competition from other fungi. Always a good idea to disinfect your drill bit. Definitely needs to be in the shade. Plan on two years to harvest.

Dude I have GOT to get one of these kits! I found one of these in the woods last year and we brought it home and cooked it... Delicious AF! I heard Paul Stamates on Joe Rogan say that Lions Mane promotes neurogenesis so... maybe eating them will make you smarter too!
