Lion’s Mane is one of the most rewarding mushrooms to grow and cook. It's striking in appearance, packed with nutrients, and unmatched in versatility. With a Spray & Grow kit, you can cultivate your own fresh harvest at home in just a couple weeks.
Keep your eyes peeled for dense, firm clusters and pick them before they begin to yellow. In the kitchen, proper preparation is key: instead of rinsing (Lion's Mane absorbs water like a sponge), simply brush off any debris, then cook in a hot cast iron pan to release its natural moisture before marinating to infuse flavor. This technique transforms Lion’s Mane into a tender, meaty base for tacos, stir-fries, or even a vegan “steak.” Want to see it in action? Watch our video with chef Turnip Vegan as he shares expert tips on harvesting, prepping, and unlocking the incredible flavor potential of this gourmet mushroom.
