Follow the manual to ensure the success of your cultivation and harvest.

To begin, remove the air from the bag well by making a small cut in the top if necessary. Fold the plastic on its side and secure it with tape or by laying it on its side.

Then, make two 5 cm cross cuts on each side of the bale. The substrate must remain moist; use a spray if necessary. Primordia appear after 1 to 2 weeks and develop within 1 to 2 weeks.

Harvest the mushrooms when the hydnes (stingers) measure approximately 5 mm. If the mushrooms turn yellow before this point, they have likely been stressed by drafts or temperature changes. Then harvest them and wait for the next harvest.

🏡 Where to grow your mushrooms?

Ideal for indoor cultivation (kitchen, garage, cellar), Lion's Mane appreciates indirect sunlight. Avoid drafts, radiators, and direct exposure to sunlight.

You can make 3 to 4 harvests with this type of bale. To harvest, gently tear off the bouquet by turning it. Remove any remaining stem pieces to prevent them from rotting and harming future crops. After a few days of rest, immerse the bundle overnight in water, drain it, then wait for the next harvest.

Lion's Mane will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator in a paper bag. For longer storage, dry them and grind them into powder.
