FAQs

Are these mushrooms hallucinogenic?

No, these are strictly culinary Lion's Mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) and contain no hallucinogenic properties.

How many mushrooms can I expect to harvest?

You can expect to harvest between 200g and 250g of fresh mushrooms in total across multiple harvests.

Where is the best place to keep the kit?

A bright, airy indoor spot like a kitchen counter, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, is perfect.

Do I need special soil or fertilizers?

No, the kit comes fully prepared with the necessary substrate; no additional soil or fertilizers are needed.

How often should I mist the kit?

It is recommended to mist the kit a few times daily to keep it moist and encourage healthy growth.

What should I do after the first harvest?

Continue to mist the block consistently, as it is often capable of producing subsequent flushes of mushrooms.

Troubleshooting

Mushroom growth has stopped

Check that the kit is not in a drafty area and increase the frequency of misting to ensure the surface is not drying out.

Surface of the block appears dry or yellow

The kit is suffering from low humidity; increase the misting frequency and consider placing it away from heaters or direct air conditioning vents.

No pinning (growth) after two weeks

Ensure the location has enough indirect light and that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for Lion's Mane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
