Watched this video 2 months ago. After that ordered my own grow kit. It went great, first it was a bit slow but then I put it nearer to a lamp. harvested about 500 grams first flush and about 1kg second flush. Love the chewiness of Mushroom, it s much like squid.
voltaire balagtas no. It consumed a lot of the nutritious mix and I wanted to do the next step, clone the spores and create my own grow bags. But I got a bad stomach disease (unrelated to mushrooms) and could not care for the mushrooms, they dried out. Dumped the whole thing (without the plastic) in a nearby forest, maybe it will grow there. And I will re-start from scratch. Still looking for a better place to grow as well, since I did it in my tiny single room city apartment and read some stories that spores can be very unhealthy on the lungs.
When the bag is done fruiting use the grain to inoculate 5 more bags. Grow those inside and when those bags are done inoculate 25 more bags if you want to do it a little better
we got one of those last Spring. Got 2 flushes out of it. We used a little laundry basket to give form to the plastic tent. Worked well for keeping the plastic bag from touching the mushrooms. Have since bought wood chips, bags and spawn to make our own. I have a 41 Qt All American Canner to sterilize the wood chips.
You can take the bag after the first three or so flushes of mushrooms then move them to something like a monotub with more substrate, wait a little while to colonize then they will grow new mushrooms. Some mushrooms are many thousands of years old spaning many acres if you give them food and the right environment they will flourish
It funny to me that I have been subscribed to you for some time now. However I never knew you did this video. However tonight I've been trying to find out how to cook the one(lionsmane) I grew. I'm quite excited to try some more mushrooms. I've got some wine caps coming. If you want someone to grow with, we can compare notes.
Thanks for spreading the news about mushroom cultivation. Especially the nod to Fungi Perfecti. Paul Stamets is/has done amazing work concerning saving ecosystems and ourselves w/fungi. I just began cultivating fungi this last summer and have a lion's mane 'block' almost ready to fruit now. I would encourage all viewers interested to look into the amazing benefits of mushrooms, for health, the ecosystem, food and fun! Also- I believe it's better NOT to 'stab' the mycelial mass when cutting holes for fruiting. Cheers to being beshroomed!
@@GrowKingdom Maybe he's saying look at it like it's life, like it's a pet. Like when you have a plant, you want it to be healthy and bear lots of flowers. You want it to grow well and be happy. So you don't want to start off by stabbing the shit out of it. That's my guess anyways. Maybe it's something totally else?
I got some lions mane and turkey tail from fungi-perfecti last year. The turkey tail is starting to fruit. I'm here because I didn't know when to expect to see the lions mane start. I watched Adam Haratains video on Lions mane and he mentioned fall and it looked like autumn in the video. Any thoughts on when I could exspect eruption?
Love the Video EXCEPT! Boiling water does not remove chlorine and calcium, it just concentrates it, those chemicals don't vanish when the water is boiled, but the water does become less dense thereby making the ratio of other chemicles higher. Filter the water first to do the same trick
You all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
The mushroom substrate a.k.a the food is sterilized and is a blank slate for any fungus to get in… So at that stage, the lions mane is the primary fungus who has taken most all of the food, and therefore controls that general area… But it’s not impossible for a foreign spawn to make its way in an infiltrate if you are careful
I have been collecting these in the wild since the 70's. My favorite recipe is making a wonderful cream of mushroom soup. The original prep before creating the soup is very much what you did here. My absolute favorite "shroom, with black trumpets and the cauliflower coming 2nd and 3rd.
To remove Chorine from city water, simply let sit exposed to air overnight. Pour water into a bowl and leave it on the counter for 12 or more hours. Chorine naturally evaporates away. Also, there is a small error in temperature to dry out mushrooms. Turn pan on lowest heat setting. Alternatively, you can slice as recommended and place it in an oven at its lowest setting. Great job on describing taste and texture and showing the value of drying out before cooking.
Thank you! I've been growing Lion's Mane finally in my home and have been struggling to figure out if that mushiness was normal or what. I knew about cooking out the moisture from other videos about other mushrooms, but just didn't do that part for long enough. Thanks again!
Well y'all sure made that look easy! A grower I was going to buy from said it is really too hard for a home grower to successfully grow. I'm thinking that was a lie after watching this video.
Get a kit. I never grew a mushroom in my life but have been growing microgreens for about 6 months and wanted to try Lion's Mane. They're my favourite mushroom and Whole Foods is crazy expensive for them. They are REALLY easy to grow. Now I have micros upstairs and Lion's Mane in the basement. Feels good to be self-reliant for some of this stuff.
Unsolvable Captcha Penis Envy is a strain of Psilocybin mushroom. They have albino(leucistic not true albino) Penis envy, Penis envy uncut(PEU) and they look like their namesake lol. Just google “Penis envy mushroom”
They say these mushrooms can and do reverse nerve damage in all parts of the body. Very helpful for the minds of the old timers in your family. Great shroom overall.
i would kill to magically know how much of all this is hyperbole and placebo effect. I never trust anyone with any kinds of claims because most people are kind of stunted. Im still growing it and trying it anyway, just not because of the claims exactly.
Paul Staments is the Man! hes incredible so thank you for mentioning him, more people will now learn about him and his epic work! Love Lions Mane cheers all
Derek Sarno has great videos about making steaks from lions mane mushrooms. He compresses it as it cooks and it's amazing! I think lions mane is my favorite mushroom.
Got one of these kits from south west mushroom and they are getting huge! I use a reptile fogger for automatic misting so I just refill it like once a week, save on time!
Whoa!! Didnt know u did mushrooms! Was looking for lions mane recipes and stumbled upon my main man! Beautiful mushies my dude! Edit: Dope ur supporting Fungi Perfecti, love Paul Stammets
Just harvested & cooked our first crop (of MANY, I hope!) of Lion's Mane- VERY GOOD! I'm doing an experiment to try & collect spores in a few different ways for additional grows. Thanks for the prep tips!
As to the issue of humidity, what about putting your set up on a tray filled with pea gravel and water? Would that reduce the number of misting you have to do?
Love Lions Mane, Shitake, blue oyster, hen of the woods (odd texture, but tastes good!). My son got me started recently, trying these. There is the amazing Maine Mushroom farm and they are at my local farmers market. Well worth the cost if you love mushrooms!
Chlorine evaporates when boiled for long enough, about 20 minutes is often enough. What you say is a problem if you're using that water for plants in your garden. Tap water tends to calcify the soil and some sensitive plants tend to die because of it.
just bringing water to a boil doesn't get rid of chloramine, unless you boil for like 2 hours(given the approximate volume he had in that pan) kudos for your efforts
@机Olga Chloramine kills fish and frogs in these concentrations, thus it has sufficient biologic impact to be concerned about it's impact on your myceleum.
@@MarcyStuart5x5 I would use reverse osmosis filtered water myself, from Whole Foods in store machine. BYO bottle, $.49 per gallon. Mushrooms concentrate environmental toxins.
If your local water is treated with chlorine... 24 hours in an open topped container, such as a bucket, at room temperature and the chlorine will evaporate to the point that you can use it for your fish or amphibians... This should suffice for growing fungi, assuming your local water is free of contaminants.
I wish this had been about growing mushrooms or at the most the intro to growing mushrooms. What species of trees can be innoculated? What are the conditions? What problems might one encounter? Does one have to sterilize or do anything special to prep the tree trunk for innoculation? Any temperatures or humidities or lighting conditions we need to know about??
Only use hardwood. It's best to get a log that's less than one month old, else too great a risk of competition from other fungi. Always a good idea to disinfect your drill bit. Definitely needs to be in the shade. Plan on two years to harvest.
Dude I have GOT to get one of these kits! I found one of these in the woods last year and we brought it home and cooked it... Delicious AF! I heard Paul Stamates on Joe Rogan say that Lions Mane promotes neurogenesis so... maybe eating them will make you smarter too!
@Epicgardening is perfectly named! I buy my Birdies raised beds from him and am loving them! I think I've got around 10 -ish? Hard to keep track- such an inspiration for the garden.
Hey just wondering how long does it take to regrow mushroom once the mushroom is harvested and how long does the growing kit normally last for until you can't produce any mushrooms.
You put the hot water into the plastic spray bottle letting plenty of plastic residues into the water that are probably worse than the chlorine you boiled off. Good video still so thanks for sharing. I'm just a plasti-phobe is all.
@@jasonlynch6936 - I think the key difference is putting hot water into plastics. Isn't THAT what tends to start the chemicals leaching into the water? That's why they say you shouldn't leave water bottles in your car.
Looks a bit like cauliflower. But I need onions in my mushrooms. As someone who doesn’t like the taste of seafood or shellfish but would love to try those recipes (such as crab cakes), this sounds like the perfect food for me!
I'd like to know more about inoculating the wood in my yard with the mycelium that is still viable after I have harvested my block three times. Fungi Perfecti no longer offers the kits (2020), but has links to other companies that are doing that. Is there something I need to do to prepare my branch? I have access to maple or oak for free, do either of those work for Lion's Mane?
Thanks for showing how it looks when ready to fruit. Heating water and letting it stand, or just let it stand all night, lightly covered, should take care of the Cl, and of not letting in anything extra, like spores in the air, or flies or whatever
@@epicgardening dope video! Aye but I had an important question: what if your lions mane mushroom flushes 2x to 3x in about a 2 months time. Is that good or normal??
Several years ago I had really good luck with the Fungi Perfecti shitake kit, had several flushes, but my grand plans to inoculate logs ended when I moved away from the country. Never heard of Lion's Mane mushroom, but now I'm intrigued (never tasted a mushroom I didn't like!) Thanks for the video!
Question for you ive been growing mushrooms at home and just this year having a terrible problem with fungus gnats and ive tried a number of things, all natural, neem oil, safters spray and noting seems to work. I just had to throw out a grow due to infestation on the substrate , i dont want to risk another until i get some help with this, thank you ps love your channel im learning a ton!!!
I have grown this and use a $20 tabletop IKEA greenhouse, along with a glass of water inside, to keep the humidity high. I double process (look up the research to see that neurogenesis is from aqua-extract) with water, then alcohol. I use 80 proof, then mix it 1-1 with water for 40 proof. It has been shelf stable for me. A $30 grow kit and $20 in Vodka yielded me about 50 ounces of extract...if you buy Lion's Mane extract retail it is $20/ounce. This is one of those items you should definitely try yourself. You will think sharper, colors are more vivid and your thought process more fluid. Good luck!
I have been eating them for 2 years...they help your brain for about 2 hours after consumption, but it stops....then you eat more. NOW try eating green beans, full of silicone....that attracks and sticks to aluminum like a magnet....and flushes aluminum out of your body..exercise 20 minutes (why God carefully created Eve with all her curves..) and huff and puff for 20 minutes and that helps your brain...for 24 hours. - great stuff.
I have research on lions mane mushroom. I grown but after pin head come out I can not maintain its humidity. Plz suggest me how I can do this. Is warm water spray on the bags or after cooling the warm water . Plz suggest me i need help.
Just simple button mushroom. I love those,. I've had.?? Portobello Mushroom It was cooked and filled with bread crumbs it was Fine but I'm more interested in lions mane,but. Do you have to cook it???? And it scares me to think of eating it raw,. And to me----the pan dry result looks like 🤥😳 damn scarry but I need nutrition for my brain I'm 60 and I had 3 concussion in 10 yrs Can anyone help to suggest what to do. They are all over trees in NH
Thanks so much for the Video! I liked the part about getting the moisture out!. Also liked the interaction between you and your bud! I look forward to seeing the substrate videos.. though you might have already created them.. I'll take a look! Keep up the good work!
Boiling will not remove chlorine or chlorimine from the water. It will actually increase the concentration because the steam coming off is without the chemicals. I would recommend distilled, reverse osmosis or just rain water.
I'd actually rather grow this mushroom on logs outside. Then bone dry them out, and soak in port wine (like I do Chaga). That way you get the oils extracted in the raw. So more medicinal that way.
You should see around 3 flushes per brick. You can try to transplant it outside, but it is much more difficult to grow. You can make your own substrate and buy cultures and make your own bricks cheaper if you have the bother.
I got my kit a week ago and didn't find your video until tonight. Is it going to be lousy in taste if I didn't remove the top? I see mushrooms start to grow out from the side slits I cut, but the top where I fold the plastic has a bit of a thick layer about 1cm.
@@epicgardening from what I understand I feel like I need to wear a biohazard suit and install an airlock to do this. Whats the minimum precautions I need to prevent contamination. Once the mycillian sets in can I relax and not wear gloves?
I live in a poor ventilated house, where the humidity even with all windows open at all times is still around the 80/90%. I wonder if that's enough humidity so I don't need to cover it with a plastic bag?
@@epicgardening trying it now. I think it will, I read somewhere else that someone put it in his shed where the humidity was only 65%, but he forgot about it and when he checked later the mushrooms were growing great
You cannot boil chlorine out of water. You can only change the state I would recommend using natural spring or mountain water and boiling it to get rid of all the contaminants that can infect your mushrooms.
I'm having a tough time with the lion's mane fruiting face. I've been able to grow plates of mycelium from spores on agar. Successfully fully colonized bags of grain, then bags of sawdust. But every time I try to fruit them things go wrong. I end up getting contamination where I put the X or the fruits come out pink, I've had them look dry and stop growing. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I keep my tent nice and clean I tried to keep the humidity around 85. I have a fan and soft lights plus exhaust. I suck at the fruiting part of it !! Plz help
I did 4 slits in a kit from myc tyson. You dont need to take the "top layer" off. There is no need to introduce potential contamination for something that has little to no effect on flushes
Okay y'all don't be making a mess with that salt and peppa now 🤣🤣🤣 Look forward to making this today when I harvest my current grow.... For mine I cut only one vent hole and my goodness it looks like a twin head of cauliflower on steroids and I didn't even mist it, I just let it get moisture from outside cuz it's been humid where I live in east Tennessee. Wish I could share a picture.....
I would like to learn how to grow a plant i call "puffers" cuz they puff dust all over when squished im shur there a mushroom but can't get them to grow but I think your videos helped
They're a family of mushroom called puffball, they usually grow on ground level in meadows, you can grow giant puffballs that can grow to the size of a beach ball. They're also edible if you harvest them before they start going brown inside where they start producing spores.
Svealand Vanberg ahh...I LOVE puffballs. Let them dry up where they are at..then collect those dirt dry spores..you can spread them in your backyard and where you hike..if conditions are right, they will grow and be no work on your part. I have never tried to grow them indoors. Outdoors is so easy. Puffballs like to grow where there is "disruption" like ppl walking or driving. You will often find them at the edge mountain bike & hiking trails. But ONLY eat puffballs w WHITE center. The others are poisonous.
Richard Lim The website is fungi.com it’s by Paul Stamets a wonderful speaker and psilocybin mushroom researcher. He talks a lot about the lion’s mane mushroom and its benefits. I recommend you check him out. :)
I’ve learned that with mushrooms it’s all about combining the right ones and the right ratios. Evolution apothecary has it down. I’ve been trying to grow and extract my own for years but have yet to find it comparable
Watched this video 2 months ago. After that ordered my own grow kit. It went great, first it was a bit slow but then I put it nearer to a lamp. harvested about 500 grams first flush and about 1kg second flush. Love the chewiness of Mushroom, it s much like squid.
Glad to hear it worked out well for you...two flushes of that yield is impressive!
Epic Gardening guess there was some beginners luck involved :-) But definetly a good start into a new Hobby.
Does it still grow???
voltaire balagtas no. It consumed a lot of the nutritious mix and I wanted to do the next step, clone the spores and create my own grow bags. But I got a bad stomach disease (unrelated to mushrooms) and could not care for the mushrooms, they dried out. Dumped the whole thing (without the plastic) in a nearby forest, maybe it will grow there.
And I will re-start from scratch. Still looking for a better place to grow as well, since I did it in my tiny single room city apartment and read some stories that spores can be very unhealthy on the lungs.
Imagine growing one of those suckers in your lung?
When the bag is done fruiting use the grain to inoculate 5 more bags. Grow those inside and when those bags are done inoculate 25 more bags if you want to do it a little better
we got one of those last Spring. Got 2 flushes out of it.
We used a little laundry basket to give form to the plastic tent. Worked well for keeping the plastic bag from touching the mushrooms.
Have since bought wood chips, bags and spawn to make our own. I have a 41 Qt All American Canner to sterilize the wood chips.
Ok now do a video on how to keep it growing g forever 😁
I was going to ask, what do you mean forever, you actually have to buy the kit or can you show how to do it on your own? 🙂
You can take the bag after the first three or so flushes of mushrooms then move them to something like a monotub with more substrate, wait a little while to colonize then they will grow new mushrooms. Some mushrooms are many thousands of years old spaning many acres if you give them food and the right environment they will flourish

You put the hot water into the plastic spray bottle letting plenty of plastic residues into the water that are probably worse than the chlorine you boiled off. Good video still so thanks for sharing. I'm just a plasti-phobe is all.
guess ur not into drinking milk or soda or riding in cars or burshing your teeth LOL HA BRAAAA
@@jasonlynch6936 - I think the key difference is putting hot water into plastics. Isn't THAT what tends to start the chemicals leaching into the water? That's why they say you shouldn't leave water bottles in your car.
I know, I shivered when he poured the hot water in cheap plastic 😬
@@HipDancerGirl23 - That wasn't the point though.
He should have used filtered water instead of tap water.
Thanks for having me on! Cheers to fungi.
Delicious and nutritious!
Looks a bit like cauliflower. But I need onions in my mushrooms. As someone who doesn’t like the taste of seafood or shellfish but would love to try those recipes (such as crab cakes), this sounds like the perfect food for me!
I'd like to know more about inoculating the wood in my yard with the mycelium that is still viable after I have harvested my block three times. Fungi Perfecti no longer offers the kits (2020), but has links to other companies that are doing that. Is there something I need to do to prepare my branch? I have access to maple or oak for free, do either of those work for Lion's Mane?
Very delicious, like vegan seafood.👍🏻😁❤🍄
Thanks for showing how it looks when ready to fruit. Heating water and letting it stand, or just let it stand all night, lightly covered, should take care of the Cl, and of not letting in anything extra, like spores in the air, or flies or whatever
You're welcome! And totally!
@@epicgardening dope video! Aye but I had an important question: what if your lions mane mushroom flushes 2x to 3x in about a 2 months time. Is that good or normal??
When can you take the outer grow bag off? Mine are getting big, and I don’t know if I should keep putting the misted bag over them?
I got my psychedelic products from @lightztripz on Instagram They also grow mushrooms 🍄 and sell and lot more....
Does preparing it this way include the brain & gut health benefits of Lion's Mane?
If its fruiting inside the bag but not fully colonized should i open it and put it in fruit tent?
Is there any research into farming mushrooms without the petroleum based plastic bags? Thank you.
I'm sure there is - I'm not aware of...will research for future mushroom videos
try google.... thousands upon thousanda of tek
Where can i buy some of this fresh lions maine?
Several years ago I had really good luck with the Fungi Perfecti shitake kit, had several flushes, but my grand plans to inoculate logs ended when I moved away from the country. Never heard of Lion's Mane mushroom, but now I'm intrigued (never tasted a mushroom I didn't like!) Thanks for the video!
Question for you ive been growing mushrooms at home and just this year having a terrible problem with fungus gnats and ive tried a number of things, all natural, neem oil, safters spray and noting seems to work. I just had to throw out a grow due to infestation on the substrate , i dont want to risk another until i get some help with this, thank you ps love your channel im learning a ton!!!
One of the best Nootropics as well. Think I might try this. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I have grown this and use a $20 tabletop IKEA greenhouse, along with a glass of water inside, to keep the humidity high. I double process (look up the research to see that neurogenesis is from aqua-extract) with water, then alcohol. I use 80 proof, then mix it 1-1 with water for 40 proof. It has been shelf stable for me. A $30 grow kit and $20 in Vodka yielded me about 50 ounces of extract...if you buy Lion's Mane extract retail it is $20/ounce. This is one of those items you should definitely try yourself. You will think sharper, colors are more vivid and your thought process more fluid. Good luck!
Lucy Brenton Nice! How does the quality compare to the lion’s mane Supplements (pills)? Your system seems like a more economical approach.
@@lucybrenton149 can you just eat raw mushrooms instead
If I eat this, will I grow a new, more better brain? I need a more better brain. Now, where're my keys?
Wish I could promise that! ;)
You left them in the side of the shroom bag.
I am selling more better brain for a limited time. So hurry!
I have been eating them for 2 years...they help your brain for about 2 hours after consumption, but it stops....then you eat more. NOW try eating green beans, full of silicone....that attracks and sticks to aluminum like a magnet....and flushes aluminum out of your body..exercise 20 minutes (why God carefully created Eve with all her curves..) and huff and puff for 20 minutes and that helps your brain...for 24 hours. - great stuff.
Nice!!! Thanks for the info!!! I'm going to try it with lobster seasoning.
I have research on lions mane mushroom. I grown but after pin head come out I can not maintain its humidity. Plz suggest me how I can do this. Is warm water spray on the bags or after cooling the warm water . Plz suggest me i need help.
Can the top growth be used for any sort of transfer to other substrate? To keep good genetics in a perpetual growth cycle?
Seems like that would be the case.
How do we know when the fruits are ready, if you leave them growing out of the bag will they just get bigger and bigger?
How long did it take to grow the piece u used on the video?
2-3 weeks
@@epicgardening thanks
Just simple button mushroom. I love those,. I've had.?? Portobello Mushroom It was cooked and filled with bread crumbs it was Fine but I'm more interested in lions mane,but. Do you have to cook it???? And it scares me to think of eating it raw,. And to me----the pan dry result looks like 🤥😳 damn scarry but I need nutrition for my brain I'm 60 and I had 3 concussion in 10 yrs Can anyone help to suggest what to do. They are all over trees in NH
Try NAC as well. Treats Alzhei ers and a dozen other issues. Its an amino acid. No side effects. Take 2400mg in divided doses daily.
Where do you suggest buying the kit?
Used to be fungi.com but they stopped selling these
@@epicgardening :(
It loos delicious. Just ordered a bag to grow. Thank you for the video.
These literally look like the most delicious thing in existance
They're soooo good
Does it retain the neurogenetic effect when cooked that way? Looks great but I want to feed my brain too
Extractions of this mushroom for use as a nootropic are processed at 130-140F.
Thanks so much for the Video! I liked the part about getting the moisture out!. Also liked the interaction between you and your bud! I look forward to seeing the substrate videos.. though you might have already created them.. I'll take a look! Keep up the good work!
Nice one guys, I'm sold.

Onions and butter it makes it taste like lobster try it 🦐🦀
Boiling will not remove chlorine or chlorimine from the water. It will actually increase the concentration because the steam coming off is without the chemicals. I would recommend distilled, reverse osmosis or just rain water.
Can you put these in a dehydrator as opposed to cooking? Just a random thought.
I believe so but may work better w/ other mushrooms (shiitake, morel)
I'd actually rather grow this mushroom on logs outside. Then bone dry them out, and soak in port wine (like I do Chaga). That way you get the oils extracted in the raw. So more medicinal that way.
Sounds fantastic...love that technique.
I've been doing my extracts in vodka...can you share why port wine is important? And might be better?
@@lucybrenton149 It's important to a hipster.
Just wondering how many yields will this one pack produce, and can I keep replanting in new packs of my own, instead of continually buying more packs?
You should see around 3 flushes per brick. You can try to transplant it outside, but it is much more difficult to grow. You can make your own substrate and buy cultures and make your own bricks cheaper if you have the bother.
What’s the best air temperature they need when they grow. Would they grow in cold winter air?
They'd prefer it to be a bit warmer and more humid
23c - 28c
I got my kit a week ago and didn't find your video until tonight. Is it going to be lousy in taste if I didn't remove the top? I see mushrooms start to grow out from the side slits I cut, but the top where I fold the plastic has a bit of a thick layer about 1cm.
How do I grow them forever? Do I need to fertalise them?
They don't grow forever, you can get 2 or 3 flushes from this patch then it's spent
@@epicgardening from what I understand I feel like I need to wear a biohazard suit and install an airlock to do this. Whats the minimum precautions I need to prevent contamination. Once the mycillian sets in can I relax and not wear gloves?
@@ashtongrist These are mushrooms, they grow outdoors, calm down...
@@epicgardening but is there a way to grow them indoors without a kit, that will keep re-growing? Or is there a way to gather spores for replanting?
I live in a poor ventilated house, where the humidity even with all windows open at all times is still around the 80/90%. I wonder if that's enough humidity so I don't need to cover it with a plastic bag?
One way to fin d out!
@@epicgardening trying it now. I think it will, I read somewhere else that someone put it in his shed where the humidity was only 65%, but he forgot about it and when he checked later the mushrooms were growing great
havΘc Howd it go?
@@drhank33y Forget the mushrooms, you need to fix your shit house...
Awesome I'm doing the Paul stamets dose. Orissa India/lions mane/ and niacin, does amazing things for your body
How long did it take to grow that mushroom?
You cannot boil chlorine out of water. You can only change the state I would recommend using natural spring or mountain water and boiling it to get rid of all the contaminants that can infect your mushrooms.
I'm having a tough time with the lion's mane fruiting face. I've been able to grow plates of mycelium from spores on agar. Successfully fully colonized bags of grain, then bags of sawdust. But every time I try to fruit them things go wrong. I end up getting contamination where I put the X or the fruits come out pink, I've had them look dry and stop growing. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I keep my tent nice and clean I tried to keep the humidity around 85. I have a fan and soft lights plus exhaust. I suck at the fruiting part of it !! Plz help
Making crab cakes... using these for the crab is a beautiful way to eat these.
Yummm
I did 4 slits in a kit from myc tyson. You dont need to take the "top layer" off. There is no need to introduce potential contamination for something that has little to no effect on flushes
exactly!
Okay y'all don't be making a mess with that salt and peppa now 🤣🤣🤣
Look forward to making this today when I harvest my current grow....
For mine I cut only one vent hole and my goodness it looks like a twin head of cauliflower on steroids and I didn't even mist it, I just let it get moisture from outside cuz it's been humid where I live in east Tennessee. Wish I could share a picture.....
Yum yum teflon so delicious
I would like to learn how to grow a plant i call "puffers" cuz they puff dust all over when squished im shur there a mushroom but can't get them to grow but I think your videos helped
This isn't a video about that mushroom, but I wish you luck with it!
They're a family of mushroom called puffball, they usually grow on ground level in meadows, you can grow giant puffballs that can grow to the size of a beach ball.
They're also edible if you harvest them before they start going brown inside where they start producing spores.
Svealand Vanberg ahh...I LOVE puffballs. Let them dry up where they are at..then collect those dirt dry spores..you can spread them in your backyard and where you hike..if conditions are right, they will grow and be no work on your part. I have never tried to grow them indoors. Outdoors is so easy.
Puffballs like to grow where there is "disruption" like ppl walking or driving. You will often find them at the edge mountain bike & hiking trails.
But ONLY eat puffballs w WHITE center. The others are poisonous.
May i have the link where can i order the growing kit? i can't find it in their website
Richard Lim The website is fungi.com it’s by Paul Stamets a wonderful speaker and psilocybin mushroom researcher. He talks a lot about the lion’s mane mushroom and its benefits. I recommend you check him out. :)
I’ve learned that with mushrooms it’s all about combining the right ones and the right ratios. Evolution apothecary has it down. I’ve been trying to grow and extract my own for years but have yet to find it comparable
Slowly I'm growing, slowly digesting the recipe for growth, indeed must be clean clean clean
