Why we love them:
Lion's mane mushrooms are one of our best-selling Spray & Grow Kits because they produce plump, dense, shaggy, delicious mushroom clusters. Lion’s mane is highly versatile and can be enjoyed cooked, dried, extracted, or even steeped as a tea! And because it contains brain-supporting compounds, it’s also a popular medicinal mushroom in addition to a delicious fungi fan favorite. (Meatless crab cakes, anyone?)
About the kit:
Our USDA-certified organic lion's mane mushroom kits are reliable producers and tend to yield large flushes of beautiful creamy white mushrooms when given adequate humidity. With continued proper care, you may be able to get multiple flushes. (We 100% guarantee your first flush of mushrooms, but hope you'll try for 2 or 3!) Note: Lion's mane can be prone to drying out if the ambient humidity is too low, so we recommend that you water it generously.

That's not mold, it's mycelium!
Your kit includes an amended sawdust block fully colonized with mushroom mycelium. It may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance - that's the mushroom mycelium! It is completely normal. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.

1) Inside this box is an amended sawdust block that has been completely colonized by mushroom mycelium. Open the front of your kit along the perforated line and dispose of the remaining cardboard.
2) Slice an 'X' into the plastic underneath with a sharp knife or scissors.
3) Lift open the top of your box to find the sprayer and instruction booklet. Fill the sprayer with tap water and generously spritz the plastic where you sliced your 'X' shape. Spritz your kit at least twice daily - more if you're in a particularly dry climate. (If your mushrooms start to grow but dry up and die, your growing conditions may be too dry and you should make a humidity tent!)
4) Place your kit in the most humid part of your home and outside of direct sunlight. We suggest putting it on a kitchen counter close to a sink. The mushroom mycelium will sense the oxygen in the air and produce mushroom 'pins,' another term for 'baby mushrooms.'
5) It usually takes 5-14 days for pins to form. Once pins begin to form, mushrooms will grow quickly. So when you spot your first pins keep an eye on them. The warmer the environment the faster they will grow. Mushrooms should be ready to harvest 2-5 days after pin formation.

If you're not ready to use immediately, your Lion's Mane Spray & Grow Kit can be refrigerated or stored in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight, for up to 6 months.

"5 of the Best Lion's Mane Mushroom Recipes"
Due to its consistency and flavor, lion's mane can be used as a seafood substitute in recipes. We like to slice it into rounds and pan-fry it in olive oil or butter, or try ripping it up and making 'Lion's Mane Cakes' by following a crab cake recipe with the lion's mane subbing in for the crab meat.
-
USDA Certified Organic
The spawn used in our mushroom kits is grown on organic grain and made with organic cultures from our own culture bank. Our kits are handmade from a blend of non-GMO woods and supplements from farms and forests in New England and North America.
-
Simply take a trash bag or other loosely fitting plastic bag and put PLENTY of 1/2 inch holes in it (THIS IS IMPORTANT: Mushrooms exhale CO2 and inhale oxygen. They will suffocate themselves if there isn’t adequate airflow! Lion's mane that look stringy or strange are usually growing that way because they need more air!). Spray the slice at least once per day with the included spray bottle. If you choose to use a humidity tent make sure to spray the inside of the tent once per day to maintain humidity.
-
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.
Mushrooms grow spores as they develop. This is a natural means of reproduction. This is when people with allergies or compromised immune systems may want to consider putting fruiting mushroom kits outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Spores in mushrooms sometimes cause respiratory irritation. In rare cases, spores may also cause irritation for some non-allergic or non-immunocompromised mushroom growers. If you are one of them, it is recommended to reduce the overall spore load by harvesting mushrooms while they are still in their younger growth stages.

Very easy to use!!!
These are great. They are so easy to use. You just set it on your counter cut it and spray it. It grows very fast also as it’s already colonized!
North Spore
We're so glad you're enjoying the experience, Johnathan! Thanks for the great review.

Great for first time growers!
Amazing and fun. Easy to do. I got my first flush pretty quick. I didn't know if the second one would come because the block seemed dry but I soaked it and forgot about it. Well, like 3 weeks later (and not spraying it either in between!) I noticed, hey, there's more growing! I started spraying again and it's growing fast and I'm going to get just as much as the first flush! Crazy happy with it. Lions mane has a very strong fish/shrimp flavor fyi. I like to add it to soups to give it more flavor but by itself it is a very pungent mushroom. So fun I'm going to look into other types as well. Pics of my first budding and then my second flush.
North Spore
Wow, thanks for the awesome review, Colleen!

Easy!
This was so neat to do with my 11 year old daughter! She loves to look for chanterelle, COW, and morels when we get a chance to go to WV from Florida to see family. This was perfect to teach her how they grow, identify and taste! Thank you guys!

Amazingly easy and super rewarding
This photo was taken exactly 13 days after opening and starting our 1st Lions Mane S&G kit. We are harvesting it tomorrow and going right back in for a second flush. Super fast growth time and insanely low maitenenence make this kit/hobby super rewarding.
North Spore

Easy and delicious!
I grew Lion's Mane on the counter in no time. This is a fun and easy way to try some gourmet mushrooms.

The Kit That Got Me Into Mycology
The spray and grow kit from North Spore is what got me into mycology several years ago. Simple to use, beyond fun to grow, and incredibly rewarding to harvest and enjoy. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family.
North Spore
Thank you so much for your review, Colin! Welcome to the mycology club.

First time growing
This lions mane kit is my first attempt at growing mushrooms and it's going very well. I followed the instructions and sprayed the kit and within a week I could see the first stages of growth. Now it's visibly growing every day.
North Spore
Awesome, Andrew! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. If you need help with anything, please reach out!

Fun to grow
first flush was a fail for me, i let it dry out to much. However, North Spore came through and offered a replacement. I ordered the monotub and received it prior to the second kit. Big improvement in humidity. I personally am not to fussed about "organic" however I am over the moon about this product being completely from the US. Customer service is top notch.
North Spore
Nice Lion's Mane, Renee! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.
![United States](https://cdn.stamped.io/cdn/images/pixel.png)
Very good quality, easy
Very nice spray and grow kits. The kit was very easy to grow. I have had contamination issues from other sellers, especially with lion's mane. North spore has been consistently the highest quality inoculated grow kits. Good customer service too!
North Spore
Thanks for the great review, Lisa! We really appreciate your support.
