How to Grow Lion's Mane Mushrooms at Home
Lion's Mane looks like a white waterfall and tastes like crab. And it is surprisingly easy to grow at home.
What the video covers
Here is how. Lion's Mane loves hardwood. The easiest path is a ready-made sawdust and bran block, or a grow bag you can buy already colonized.
Cut a small X in the front of the colonized bag. That single opening is where your mushroom will burst out. Set it in indirect light, mist around it twice a day, and give it fresh air.
Key points
Lion's Mane wants humidity, not soaking wet. Within a week, a white pom-pom forms and grows fast. Watch the little icicle spines get longer each day.
Harvest when the spines are a half inch long, before they yellow. Fresh Lion's Mane from your own kitchen. Start yours at 2026 Mushrooms dot com.
