Grow your own Lion's Mane mushrooms. Mist and harvest!
(Yields 2-4 Lbs)
Enjoy amazingly fresh mushrooms at your home. A very simple process that will most likely turn into your new favorite hobby!
Lions Mane (Pom Pom, Crab of the Woods, Hericium erinaceus)
Flavor/Texture: mild, meaty, earthy yet clean
Our best seller and fan favorite. Lauded for its medicinal properties and is considered a “natural nootropic”. A very reliable strain that has some serious yields. Customers have reported up to 4 lbs off of the first harvest, and another lb. on the second harvest. Don’t be tempted to allow the “hairs” to grow out too long, while it looks super cool it negatively affects the flavor and shelf life. Major staff favorite!
This species is truly delicious and our farmers market customers and chef clients just can’t get enough of em. They’re extremely versatile in the kitchen and they can be used in many recipes as a meat substitute, topping, side dish, etc. They are great sliced thick and grilled. We like to say these mushrooms are perfect for those who “don’t like mushrooms” due to their clean and approachable flavor. Breaded/fried or tempura seems to be the favorite method of preparing these varieties.

I was thrilled to receive this kit and get started, but I failed to follow the directions properly for the first week or two and may have restricted the growth of the mushroom for a few days. But, once I figured out what part of the instructions I missed, it grew rather quickly. It became a part of my daily routine; as I watched it slowly expand out of the plastic wrapper.
I took half of the mushroom and cut it into thick slices that I sauteed in butter...delicious. The rest I cut up into omelets, also worthy.
I enjoyed the process and will certainly order another type and see if I can do a better job this time.

Super easy and super fun! They really start to take off after about 1 week.

Made some excellent crab less cakes

Wonderful & exciting! I made delicious crab cakes with my first harvest. It is now growing a second time!

These mushies are taking off like crazy! Highly recommend.

My kit arrived promptly and after 3 1/2 weeks, here is my harvest. I'm delighted and can't wait for my next go!! ♥️
Roberta B.
Amazing mushroom! Easy to grow. Great instructions! Thank you
Michael K.
Really easy! The directions are simple to follow! Almost ready to harvest first Lions Mane...never would have imagined me growing mushrooms ♂️
Mrs Chris H.
I think I can do better next time. I may have misted too much and cut too many holes to let the babies out. Lol. I cooked some of them with deer and it was amazing. The rest I sautéed in butter and put in freezer bags for later. I’m very pleased. Thank you so much!

Yummy burp gurgle

This is my first try at Lions Mane, didn't exactly follow instructions and opened the entire top, but it is exploding, figure the harvest will be about 3lbs. AWESOME!!
Jan E.
Love watching them grow! Just not sure when to harvest.
Kristin C.
Easy, wonderful, unique taste. Already growing the next batch.

Love the Lions mane and have harvested it twice since the end of August when I opened the box.
Mckenzie S.
So happy I could get my mom a lions mane mushroom for her birthday. We have had so much fun watching it grow everyday and we are cooking it up as I write this! It’s been two weeks and ready to harvest!

Amazing experience and so tasty!
Charles B.
Fun and easy to grow

Awesome! Better than expected!

Made some crab cakes with the lions mane and it was delicious, we still have over a pound left and this is only the 1st harvest. Follow the directions and it works exactly how they say. I think I'm going for oyster mushrooms next. My 2 sisters also ordered after they saw how well it works!
Karina B.
I was so excited to grow my own lions mane :) I made three different dishes with my first crop. Breaded and fried, lions mane “steak”, and a healing mushroom soup with the rest. All were delicious! About to harvest my second crop soon. Would absolutely recommend these kits to any mushroom lover.
Aaron M.
Started growing in no time at all, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The kids thought it was super cool also!

Authentic rural Chinese dish :)

I deleted my photos before I heard from you, unfortunately.
I’d never tried Lion's Mane before and thought I’d try it.
The package that came was well done and the directions were simple to follow. In two weeks I had a lovely 3 pound fungus. I sautéed it in butter and ate quite a bit. It was delicious. Leftover mushroom slices were used later in recipes that called for mushrooms.
I could have gotten more generations out of the box, but I did not try.
Prospective customers should know that it is odorless as it grows so it can be grown successfully inside.
Lynna N.
So easy and straightforward. We love the results too ☺️ can't wait for our second harvest!!! The first one was so yummy

Grew some tasty Lion’s Main mushrooms. Letting the block rest for a couple weeks and will try to bring it to life again for hopefully a round two.
Steven S.
Thank you for replacing my dud box with this lions mane kit. My friends and family have enjoyed watching its progress and we are looking forward to trying out grilling it!
Phillip T.
Bought it for my moms birthday. She loved it, they grew very fast and were delicious. She brought out some of the mushrooms she to us, delicious.
max E.
Really enjoyed this kit! It was large enough to share with friends and family. Will be a repeat customer for sure!
Chad M.
This is the best luck I have had with growing mushrooms at home so far. Working on a 3rd growth now.
Eric C.
After growing a fair number of oyster mushrooms I wanted to try something different, but this is difficult in Florida if you are not keen on having your AC run 24/7. My house fluctuates between 77 and 80°F and Nearby Naturals recommended I try Lion's mane (while also agreeing that the temperature was not ideal). The grow kit was super easy and I couldn't be happier with my first yield!
Rhiana F.
First time growing mushrooms at home was so easy and fun - and delicious! We had some initial issues with the lions mane yellowing on the sides likely due to over spritzing, but Sam and Soraya helped us out with some expert tips and they grew perfectly after some trial and error! The customer service is incredible! I’ve already turned all of my friends on to growing mushrooms at home - highly recommend!
Kalinamaika'i K.
Awesome grow kit! It was pretty easy. I poked an extra hole in the side of the bag because I read the instructions wrong. But look at this guy growing out the side looking all gorgeous and stuff! The places that are a little darker are where I had already started to eat from. I like the flavor when they're smaller. I've already recommended it to a few of my friends! Thank you so much I'm excited to grow them again!!!
Catherine R.
Outrageous! Mushroomy, yet meaty taste and texture.
Thomas P.
This kit is amazing. The mushrooms are amazing and grow great. Just have to make sure you keep adding water as directed. You will be super happy with this produce. We are growing another batch for round 2 with the same box. Happy Growing :-)

The first kit I received ended up being a dud -- it probably dried out in transit. I reached out and was immediately offered either a refund or a replacement kit. Glad I chose the replacement kit! The attached picture was the first flush, close to when I harvested it. It was 1 lb 8.4 oz. My second flush is well underway -- thank you!
morales, p.
Beautiful lions mane have been growing very well. Can’t wait to harvest. Have learned so much!
Jim B.
Everything worked as planned had a great time growing this lions mane mushroom.
Kathleen K.
It's a birthday present for my daughter, she just received it, so hasn't had time to grow them yet. She was thrilled to get them! She found out about you at the Winter Park, FL Farmer's Market.
Emily E.
Growing lion’s mane has been so much fun, and the results are super tasty! Managed to get about three pounds off of my first flush, so it fed my spouse and I for three days. Working on my next flush now! Super happy to get helpful feedback via email too.
BETH M L.
Seared Mushroom Steak (flavored with garlic and thyme) with mashed potatoes and lima beans. Yum!
Erica V.
I absolutely love these mushrooms!!!! The kit was easy to grow and well worth it!
❤❤❤

I’m a gardener and was very interested in growing ‘shrooms. Was a cool experience. The pioppinos were outstanding; the lion’s mane was a bit mysterious. I researched but would’ve appreciated more info on harvesting markers for that particular genus. Regardless, both were so yummy and amazing. Fresh ‘shrooms are such a delicacy for us urban dwellers and these were incredible. Recommend!
Maxine C.
You dropped the kit off at my house and after following your growing directions - the mushrooms grew and grew and grew. I will be ordering more mushrooms through you in the future. Unfortunately, when it was almost time to harvest the 2nd growth - I accidentally picked up the furniture polish bottle instead of the water misting bottle and misted the mushrooms. The polish bottle said it was nontoxic, but didn't want to eat furniture flavored mushrooms, so I ended up tossing them. I am a happy customer and will purchase more kits as the weather cools off more.
Thank you - Maxine
Sam M.
This was my first time growing/eating lions mane! It was super easy and pretty fun. Also it felt awesome to be able to grow my own food on my countertop that has so many health benefits! I’m excited to try many more mushrooms
christy M.
My 10 yr old daughter, husband and I decided to grow some mushrooms during quarantine and what an awesome experience it was! We forage for wild mushrooms here in Washington state so it was an incredible way to get to see how they grow from start to our table! SO REWARDING and EDUCATIONAL!
Lisa G.
I love this mushroom kit, and it keeps growing and growing. We are going to try every kind in the future. The lion’s mane mushrooms are hearty and paired well with or in a lot of our island recipes.
Annika C.
The lions mane was so fun and easy to grow! I read online that it kind of has a seafood flavor and texture and they weren’t wrong! I panfried it in butter with some salt and pepper, dressed it with mayo, lemon, paprika, and green onions, and made a veggie “lobster” roll! Can’t wait to grow more!
Keren M.
I got two harvests off this box, this one weighed about 3 lbs the second was less. The flavor was good. The first harvest I just fried them in olive oil. They have a lot of water in them and soaked the oil up like a sponge. The second harvest was used in a stir fry. Very tasty.
Patricia W.
This mushroom lives up to everything I have heard about it. Super easy to grow. The texture is equivalent to scallops and it has a light crab taste. I highly recommend this easy grow kit
Robert M.
These kits have been a great distraction during these times.
