nature’s secret ingredient for growing your own mushrooms—it’s packed with living mycelium that spreads into your growing medium, setting the stage for an epic harvest. Just mix it in, give it time, and watch the magic happen!
Lion’s Mane Dazzle(Hericium erinaceus), also known as Monkey's Head, stands out for its mane-like white tendrils. Its culinary appeal and cognitive benefits have fueled demand for supplements and fresh varieties. Versatile — it can be cooked, dried, extracted, or brewed into tea. Although slightly harder to cultivate than oyster mushrooms, it provides consistent indoor yields year-round, making it ideal for beginners and commercial growers.
Lion's Mane mushroom has a mildly sweet flavour and a tender texture reminiscent of shellfish like scallops and lobster. Popular plant-based chefs use it as a vegan steak or in creative seafood recipes.
Store the mushroom kit in the refrigerator to safely delay the growing cycle until ready for use or gifting.
