Lion's Mane Grow Kit

Unfortunate worst grow kit ever

I’d like to state that their Golden Oyster and Shiitake kits are the healthiest I’ve ever experienced. This Lions Mane was the worst I’ve ever grown. I’ve had experience growing 12 kits over the pandemic to today and managed to even grow some in the yard from the kit after 3 growths. This one did not grow large Lions Mane and they ended up shrinking back to yellow. I was waiting for the spikes to develop and they never really did. I was waiting and watching for body of the mushroom to be sponge like but they remain firm. They turned a slight pink before hitting their growth stage, I was excited! Then in the morning, these mushrooms had turned yellow over night. No spores ever released. Still firm bodies of fruit. Placed in the refrigerator and waiting on Customer Service to help. Took multiple photos of the entire process and also emailed them. Was told the mushrooms yesterday looked normal. They have matured overnight without growing much spine length.

I imagine it’s going to be good but it has not started yet, but it set up to 20 days but the other two kits that I bought are doing great shiitake and yellow oyster. I’m waiting for the wine cap and the lions mane to start growing but I have faith in them because the other two certainly did well.

My first mushroom kit ever!

So far my experience has been good. I received my kit on May 3rd and today is May 15th. I do have half a dozen starts of Lion Mane mushrooms growing. I used the plastic bag tent for about 5 days. Then just misting twice a day. I’m from the ol days and i remembered my friends putting mushroom kits in their bathtubs to grow, so that’s what i have done. The environment seems good. I also bought some Lion Mane tincture for a back-up. I have noticed a definite health boost from taking it and I am looking forward to cooking the mushrooms for dinner time when they are big enough. I am simply following directions that were sent with my mushroom kit. :)
