Hericium erinaceus
Lion’s Paw is a selected Hericium erinaceus isolation that forms multiple smaller, clustered fruit bodies. Its presentation is especially well suited to market sales, and it is slightly more heat tolerant than the Lion’s Beard isolation.
Dispatch: In-stock cultures usually ship in 2–3 business days.
Colonization: 70–75°F
Fruiting: 65–90°F
Substrate: Master’s Mix
This fruiting range reflects Dewayne’s own growing experience. It is an observed range, not a guaranteed result or an optimum at every temperature.
Tender, seafood-like texture often compared with crab or lobster. Excellent sautéed 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.
