This kit includes a 5mL mushroom culture, instructions, a glossary of mycology terms, and a fungi word search.

Lions Mane mushrooms taste like Crab and are gaining attention for their potential health benefit. You can enjoy them in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to soups. 

Lion’s mane is a mushroom called Hericium Erinaceus. It has long spines, measuring over 1 cm or 1⁄2 inch. The plant grows on hardwoods and typically has a bunch of hanging spines. You can harvest the fruit bodies for culinary use.

This is a fun and creative way to grow gourmet mushrooms in your own kitchen. I developed these kits as a way for people to learn a little more about growing mushrooms than your standard mushroom kits will teach you, and no special equipment is required.

The instructions cover two ways of growing them - the first way is to grow them in a bag of pre-cooked rice on your kitchen counter, the second way is to grow them in a bucket of straw. There is enough culture included to try both methods. Regardless of your growing medium of choice, these are fascinating to grow and delightful to cook with.
