The Lion's Mane Mushroom Kit includes a five pound bag of Lion's Mane mushroom mycelium growing on hardwood sawdust and soy hulls. The mycelium is the vegetative stage of the mushroom life-cycle; the mushrooms are the fruits. In the box you will also find instructions, a compostable tent, and chopsticks for supporting the tent. Each kit arrives ready to give way to the freshest Lion's Mane mushrooms you can find. Just follow the instructions to bring forth homegrown gourmet mushrooms. Lion’s Mane is a white mushroom, belonging to the "tooth fungi" group, with a shaggy appearance resembling a lion’s mane. The spines of lion's mane mushrooms are the equivalent to the gills on other mushrooms - that's where the spores are born.
