Der Igelstachelbart (Hericium erinaceus) ist ein köstlicher, herzhafter Pilz, der pralle, dichte, zottelige „Pom-Pom“-Trauben bildet. Er ist auch ein großartiger Meeresfrüchte-Ersatz, da er eine ähnliche Konsistenz und Geschmack wie Krabbenfleisch hat. Darüber hinaus ist er äußerst vielseitig, da er gekocht, getrocknet, extrahiert oder sogar als Tee aufgegossen genossen werden kann.

Für diejenigen, die nichts gegen Wartezeiten einzuwenden haben, ist der Igelstachelbart ideal für den Anbau auf Holzstämmen und Totems. Wenn Sie jedoch einen schneller wachsenden Igelstachelbart suchen, empfehlen wir den Anbau in Eimern (da er ein großartiger Seitenfruchtpilz ist).

Die Stamm-Methode erfordert Geduld, da es 1-2 Jahre von der Inokulation bis zur ersten Ernte dauern kann. Aber einmal etabliert, kann ein einziger Stamm bei richtigen Bedingungen mehrere Jahre lang Pilze produzieren!

Empfohlene Anwendung:

  • Igelstachelbart-Sägespänebrut wird für Stammprojekte und/oder Eimerprojekte empfohlen.
  • Igelstachelbart-Sägespänebrut muss einem anderen Substrat hinzugefügt oder zur Stamm-Inokulation verwendet werden, um Fruchtkörper zu bilden.
  • Beim Anbau auf Holzstämmen inokuliert ein Beutel Sägespänebrut zuverlässig 20 Holzstämme.

Igelstachelbart-Holzstamm-Tabelle:

BESTE HOLZARTEN* Buche, Hainbuche, Hartholz-Ahorn
WEITERE GEEIGNETE ARTEN Erle, Espe, Birke, Schwarznuss, Eschen-Ahorn, Kirsche, Kastanie, Pappel, Ulme, Zürgelbaum, Maulbeere, Eiche, Weichholz-Ahorn, Amberbaum
VERMEIDEN Hemlocktanne, Kiefer


Nach Erhalt Ihrer Brut:

Entnehmen Sie sie so schnell wie möglich aus dem Versandkarton. Klappen Sie dann den oberen Teil des Beutels auf, um Platz für Luft zu schaffen. Es ist auch wichtig zu überprüfen und zu bestätigen, dass der Filterbereich nicht blockiert ist. Dies hilft dem Organismus zu atmen und weiterhin zu gedeihen!

Tools you'll need

To grow on logs using sawdust spawn, you will need a Log Inoculation Tool, Log Sealing Wax, and Wax Daubers

For larger log projects you may also want to purchase an Angle Grinder Adapter and specialized 12mm drill bit.

Cultivation

Inoculation

Lion’s mane prefers the Totem Method, though it can work with Log or Stump methods. (Yields tend to be smaller with log or stump methods). Colonization is 12-24 months and fruits in the fall. Lion’s mane prefers maple but can grow on many hardwood species and on logs with large or small diameters. 

Storing

If you don’t plan to use your lion's mane sawdust spawn right away, store in the refrigerator. Use within 6 months of receipt.

Cooking

"5 of the Best Lion's Mane Mushroom Recipes"

Its unique flavor and consistency make it ideal as a seafood substitute in recipes. We like to slice it into rounds and pan-fry it in olive oil or butter. We also recommend ripping it up and making vegan or vegetarian crab cakes with it. You can find some amazing recipes online!

Ingredients

All our spawn is made using organic cultures from our own culture bank. Our sawdust spawn is handmade from a blend of locally sourced, all-natural, organic, and non-GMO woods and supplements from farms and forests in New England and North America. 

Cautions & considerations

If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.

Sawdust Spawn Frequently Asked Questions

Sawdust spawn is sterilized sawdust colonized with mushroom mycelium. It’s used to inoculate a growing substrate such as logs, wood chips, or outdoor garden beds to start mushroom growth.

It serves as the "seed" for your mushroom crop — transferring live, growing mycelium into your chosen growing medium.

Sawdust spawn is best for outdoor projects like logs, stumps, or garden beds and is slower to contaminate.
Grain spawn is ideal for indoor grows or bulk substrate inoculation because it colonizes faster but is more contamination-sensitive.

Sawdust spawn is mixed or packed into a substrate (like logs or wood chips) to inoculate it. Common methods include:

  • Drilling and filling holes in logs
  • Layering in outdoor wood chip or straw beds
  • Mixing with sterilized sawdust or wood pellets for bag cultivation

Most sawdust spawn performs best on hardwoods like oak, maple, or beech. Some species (like Wine Cap or certain Oysters) can tolerate small amounts of softwood in the mix.

Thriving upon arrival

I received a large order that arrived on time and in excellent condition. There was actually a mushroom already starting to grow out of the filter on the bag! So there is no doubt about the quality of these products. I will review all four mushroom varieties I am growing here in central NC in the months to come.

Thanks for the great review! If you need help with anything, please reach out.

Sawdust lions mane

I used the lions mane spawn to do maple totems all the spawn looked great now the long wait begins

Thanks for the great review! We really appreciate your support. Please reach out if you ever need anything.

Lion's Mane Spawn

This makes an excellent alternative to the grain spawn, which was unavailable. It should work well, just requiring some amendment from a good nitrogen source like sterilized wheat berries or bran. Don't be discouraged by the whispy-looking mycelium on arrival; this species just appears to colonize very lightly. Before long, it will seem to fruit out of nowhere. I will be using this for making totems on birch and fruiting blocks. Lion's Mane is a gnarly-looking mushroom and mighty tasty; you won't be disappointed when these grow.

Thanks Steven! We love to read reviews like this! It makes what we do all the more worth it.

Beautiful spawn!

Top quality sawdust spawn, mycelium is very happy in the substrate and already making its way into 18" totems at this very moment. Very happy with North Spore, now my go-to place for spawn.

5 stars so far!

I peaked under the bags on the four totems I created just two weeks ago and, I found small fruiting bodies about 11/2 inches across, maximum, already forming at the base of the totems! I was pleasantly surprised at that! They were growing from the bottom of the totem on the cardboard! Our weather has been superb the last two weeks , being low fifties at night and high sixties/ low seventies F. by day. We have had several light rains. I am super happy and energized about the future crops I hope to harvest and will be starting more operations soon. In fact I will be starting a couple beds for oyster varieties this week, as soon as my new order arrives! Thanks North spore for the healthy sawdust spawn and the tutorials/videos!

active mycelium growth

I received the sawdust spawn packaged well and with clear instructions included. The bag contained mycelium growing in the sawdust. I expect to harvest Lion's Mane mushrooms in the future from the four totems I created.

High Quality and Fast Growing!

My Lion's Mane sawdust spawn came extremely quickly and was very safely packaged. The block was already colonized with mycelium and was actually growing lion's mane already! I broke up the block into much smaller bags and cut holes in each of the bags before suspending them in a humid chamber to grow them for my own personal use. I was thinking of attempting a monotub approach but am not brave enough to try and grow lions mane this way. I will absolutely order from north spore again!

High Quality Spawn

I inoculated a totem log on June 26 and on July 3 it began fruiting from the sawdust! The photo shown was taken on July 7. I'm sure this flush will be small due to the log not being colonized yet. I put a nice thick layer in each totem cut so I'm sure that helped. But I've been more than satisfied by the customer service and high-quality spawn so far.

Lions Mane Spawn

I ordered two bags and received them promptly in good condition. I've started several Big Leaf Maple totems out here in the Pacific Northwest, and am excited for future mushroom growth! Used the North Spore inoculation tool with Reishi sawdust spawn on alder logs last year, just about time to bury those logs. I'm looking forward to Reishi and Lion's Mane in my future! Great and clear instructions, good materials, can't wait for my logs to start fruiting but patience is the ticket here.

So Very Excited

When I received my package I was so excited. Customer service was outstanding. Once you receive your package @northspore will answer any questions you have so that you can achieve great results. I have 4 types morels shiitake lions mane wine capsnow and three more on the way. Thanks guys can't wait to see the end product.

My Pre-Schooler’s Favorite Mushroom

We received our lions mane spawn in spring 2020, inoculated in late April totem style on both sugar maple and ailanthus. We had our first fruits in mid-June, first on the maple then on the ailanthus. We didn’t have too much production in the fall, but look forward to more this spring as we see plenty of mycelium. My pre-school age daughter loves Lions Mane, they are her favorite wild mushroom and we loved starting to grow our own.

Lion's Mane Sawdust Spawn

Used totem method on laurel oak ~12-16" logs during February in north central Florida. Set on card board and covered with paper yard waste bags and placed in shady spot. Uncovered bags one month later and found two small fruits almost golf ball size! Kids were super excited. Gold oysters also seem to be taking well in the straw bed.

Fast colonizer, clear instructions

I purchased the lion’s mane spawn in the fall and inoculated big leaf maple logs using the totem method in trash bags. The spawn was quick to arrive and the instructions that came with it were clear. A month ago I already noticed small fruiting bodies on the logs and good mycelium colonization. I’m very happy with this spawn and already ordered more!

Lions Mane sawdust spawn

I have been a wild mushroom forager for many years. Cultivating mushrooms has always intrigued me. This year, I finally bought some Lions Mane sawdust spawn (as well as oyster spawn) from North Spore, and inoculated some totems. I did the inoculation in August, and had some quarter and golf ball sized mushrooms within 6 weeks! I am looking forward to see how they produce this coming growing season!

Always Great!

I have been growing Lion's Mane for its health properties. My wife has diabetes and research has shown it may be helpful--among the other benefits for cognitive function.
North Spore has been amazing in service. Even when they say there will be a delay, there is not and they always ship FAST (like normal) and with excellent communication. Always better to under-promise and over-deliver!
Also, their spray and grow kits have been very productive, producing many flushes. I am a big fan and have been more recently using the sawdust spawn to inoculate totem logs and their hardware to inoculate shiitake logs. They are my definite go to for mushroom growing products and I will always be back!

Huge Flush

I inoculated several logs and got a huge flush! The fruits were tasty and if I had more logs I'd do it again.

Really nice strain

I've bought this 2 times (3 counting today :) ). Really strong and tasty strain, usually fully ran through sawdust & bran substrate in 14-18 days. So strong I chopped a big in half, shipped it to a friend. Covered the cut - it produced for a few more weeks.Then I threw the half on my "wood and sticks" compost pile outside - silly things kept producing even after 90f heat. Albeit, on the shady side of the pile.
