Cultivate a true culinary masterpiece with our Lion’s Mane Grow Kit. Known by charming local names like Pruikzwam (Wig Mushroom), IJsbeerzwam (Polar Bear Mushroom), or even Slapende hond (Sleeping Dog), this striking, snow-white fungus features cascading, icicle-like spines. Beyond its unique appearance, Lion’s Mane is prized by chefs for a rich, savory flavor and meaty texture that closely resembles crab or lobster when pan-seared. We’ve meticulously prepared and incubated this hefty 2.5 kg premium oak hardwood block for 40 days, so it arrives fully colonized and ready to burst into life on your kitchen counter.

Description

Growkit Instructions:

Step 1

Unbox the Block: Open your grow kit box to reveal the 2.5 kg premium oak hardwood substrate block (approx. 12.5 x 30 x 20 cm), fully colonized and ready to fruit.

Step 2

Make a Small Slit: Using a clean, sharp knife, cut a small horizontal slit (about 2 to 3 cm) in the side of the plastic bag. Lion’s Mane forms the tightest, densest clusters when forced through a small opening.

Step 3

Set the Temperature: Place the block in a spot with indirect daylight where the ambient temperature stays consistently between 18°C and 20°C.

Step 4

Create a Humidity Tent: Lion’s Mane requires very high humidity (85-95%) to develop its signature hanging “icicles.” Drape a loose, punctured clear plastic bag over the block to trap moisture while allowing for airflow.

Step 5

Mist Daily: Using a spray bottle, mist the inside walls of your humidity tent 2 to 3 times a day. Be careful not to spray the growing mushroom directly to prevent waterlogging.

Step 6

Watch the Pom-Pom Form: Within a week, a dense, white, coral-like mass will begin to push through the slit you created in the plastic.

Step 7

Let the “Teeth” Grow: Keep up your daily misting routine. The mushroom is maturing when the cascading spines (the “teeth” or “icicles”) elongate and the cluster feels slightly spongy to the touch.

Step 8

Harvest and Enjoy: Slice the mushroom off cleanly at the base of the plastic flap with a sharp knife. Keep misting the opening to encourage a second flush of delicious mushrooms!
