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.

Substrate is not enough enaculated dude
Mushrooms are not mostly moisture, theyre rather dry, and lions mane does not take up to 3 or 4 weeks, alot of misinformation in this video, do your research before u just start throwing up random information
Slowly I'm growing, slowly digesting the recipe for growth, indeed must be clean clean clean
Fun fact lion's mane besides psilocybin is the only type of mushroom that inhibits something called neurogenesis. it produces a compound called hericenones and erinacines they help with memory and cognitive ability's.
i think you did great.
Looks a bit like cauliflower. But I need onions in my mushrooms. As someone who doesn’t like the taste of seafood or shellfish but would love to try those recipes (such as crab cakes), this sounds like the perfect food for me!
When can you take the outer grow bag off? Mine are getting big, and I don’t know if I should keep putting the misted bag over them?
Eat it raw. Cooking it will kill or the good bacteria & the awesome properties of this superfood. Nothing annoys me more when people add boiling water like miso. Its ruined
You destroyed the goodness of this superfood by heating it & putting salt on it. Salt on a mushroom is like adding acid. Bloody chefs teaching how to kill good bacteria for taste
Why didn't you apply water directly to the substrate? Should I not do that?
Ah- this makes me wish I wasn't allergic to mushrooms, I blow up into a balloon and get really sweaty when I eat them-
Is breaking up the spore and putting them in a Monotube doable?
Thisushroom takes nutrients from a tree so it is the same ?
I have a Channel where i show How to do Lions mane extraction
Does it retain the neurogenetic effect when cooked that way? Looks great but I want to feed my brain too
calling this a recipe is a bit of a stretch
John looks like he wants to kill you lol
U know u can reuse those miccellium right
Says not over season because you want the lion mane flavor then drops butter, salt and pepper. Then more salt and pepper…
your cusin john video
Love the Video EXCEPT! Boiling water does not remove chlorine and calcium, it just concentrates it, those chemicals don't vanish when the water is boiled, but the water does become less dense thereby making the ratio of other chemicles higher. Filter the water first to do the same trick
What a terrible knife
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 wonder if you could continue the grow after the second or third flush using a quick pot sterilized batch of coco coir in a bucket.
Ama-Zing! Holey moley a non-stick pan – I hope that is not teflon
At 0:40 how is he not contaminating the block? I understand the Mycelium's immune system is stronger at this point of it's life, but still?
