Hericium erinaceus
One of the mushroom powerhouses, Lion's Mane mushrooms look way too cute to be as healthy as they are. Many people mistake it for cauliflower, as it grows in fuzzy, fractal white puff balls. They almost look like they could scurry away as they grow!
This Lion's Mane mushroom grow kit Mini-Farm requires light misting to produce three to four crops over a two month period. Expect one to two pounds of organic mushrooms from your grow kit with proper care. Please note that grow kits given as gifts should be gifted and setup within about 7-10 days of purchase.
* Please note that mushroom grow kit Mini-Farms given as gifts should be gifted and set up within about 7-10 days of purchase.
*We guarantee your first crop. If you follow the instructions, your Lion's Mane Mushroom Grow Kit Mini-Farm may produce 3-4 harvests but each grow kit is handcrafted and can have different results.
From box to harvest in about two weeks
Lion's Mane fruits in soft, fractal white puffs that double in size almost overnight. Here is what to expect from your Mini-Farm.
Open the box
Arrives colonized and ready. Cut the window, mist it, and set it in indirect light.
First pins appear
Tiny white knobs form along the face of the block. Keep misting twice a day.
Harvest your first crop
From knobs to ready-to-pick in just a few days. Twist gently to harvest.
Rest, then repeat
Rest the block and mist again. Most growers see three to four flushes.
You are not the reason it failed last time.
Most grow-kit disappointment comes down to one thing: a block that was contaminated or under-colonized before it ever reached you. We have cultivated specialty mushrooms on the same Moss Landing farm since 1982, and every Mini-Farm is built from meticulously pure cultures, spawn, and substrate — then guaranteed to fruit.
That is why so many of our growers came to us after another kit failed them — and stayed.

“What do I do with Lion's Mane?”
It has a tender, seafood-like texture — many cooks compare it to crab or lobster. Here is where to start.
Mixed Mushroom Fritters
Tear your harvest into a savory batter and fry until golden — crisp at the edges, tender inside.

Grown on a bluff above the Pajaro River
Located in northern Monterey County in the coastal town of Moss Landing, our eight-acre farm sits above the Pajaro River, overlooking the Pacific. The steady ocean breeze and coastal fog make it an ideal place to cultivate mushrooms.
The same Lion's Mane our chefs buy fresh is the strain colonizing your Mini-Farm — grown on sterilized sawdust substrate, the way the Garrone family has done it for more than forty years.
This kit is for the kitchen. For a daily routine, meet the tincture.
