Hericium erinaceus
Lion’s Beard is a selected Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) isolation known for producing a large, substantial fruit body rather than the smaller clustered presentation of Lion’s Paw. It is an excellent specialty choice when size and a dramatic harvest are the priority.
Dispatch: In-stock cultures usually ship in 2–3 business days.
Colonization: 70–75°F
Fruiting: 65–75°F
Substrate: Master’s Mix
Temperature ranges are growing guidance, not guaranteed results. Match humidity, fresh air, and substrate to the species.
Tender, seafood-like texture often compared with crab or lobster. Excellent sautéed, roasted, or used in plant-based seafood dishes.
10 mL liquid culture syringe
Included: One culture syringe, one sterile 18G needle, and one alcohol wipe. Grain, substrate, and growing equipment are not included.
Refrigerate on arrival unless your label gives different instructions. Do not freeze.
This is a starter culture, not a ready-to-fruit block. Follow the culture-to-harvest guide for grain and substrate preparation.
