Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom Outdoor Log Growing Kit

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a nutritious medicinal mushroom that produces plump white clusters with icicle-like teeth. When cooked, it has a consistency and flavor similar to crab meat.

Though slightly harder to get flushes than oysters or shiitake, they are still a great outdoor mushroom for intermediate growers. They colonize slowly but are relatively reliable producers.

Each outdoor log kit contains:

A drill bit
Log sealing wax
A wax applicator
100 ct plug spawn or voucher
Instruction guide

Note: Dowel may be fluted or spiral. Aside from being kiln dried, our wooden dowels are not treated in any other way.

That’s not mold, it’s mycelium!

Your kit includes plug spawn colonized with mushroom mycelium. It may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance – that’s the mushroom mycelium! It is completely normal. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.
