No, these are strictly culinary Lion's Mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) and contain no hallucinogenic properties.
You can expect to harvest between 200g and 250g of fresh mushrooms in total across multiple harvests.
A bright, airy indoor spot like a kitchen counter, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, is perfect.
No, the kit comes fully prepared with the necessary substrate; no additional soil or fertilizers are needed.
It is recommended to mist the kit a few times daily to keep it moist and encourage healthy growth.
Continue to mist the block consistently, as it is often capable of producing subsequent flushes of mushrooms.
Check that the kit is not in a drafty area and increase the frequency of misting to ensure the surface is not drying out.
The kit is suffering from low humidity; increase the misting frequency and consider placing it away from heaters or direct air conditioning vents.
Ensure the location has enough indirect light and that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for Lion's Mane.
Setup is minimal: find a suitable spot, open the provided opening as instructed on the packaging, and begin your daily misting routine. This kit is strictly for indoor use and thrives at standard room temperatures between 15-20°C. To maintain optimal health, use a fine-mist spray bottle filled with clean, room-temperature water. Avoid using chlorinated water if possible, as it may affect growth. After harvesting your first flush, ensure the block remains hydrated for subsequent flushes, though do not oversaturate it to the point of waterlogging.
