Yes Ben try growing it , yourself Kits aren’t cheap Mushrooms are delicious and expensive. I bought a tray of Exotic mushrooms 150grams for $8 as a treat .I cooked in garlic and butter .Amazing the Lions mane Variety are beneficial for brain health etc 😊
I grow Lions Mane, Oysters and King mushrooms. I stsrted with kits and now have moved on to using Mycellium Syringes to innoculate my growth medium..There is a LOT of information on RUclips..Take your time and it will be an amazing experience. Ben will help you to circumvent the stumbling blocks!!
Yes please, I would definitely want to watch a video of you growing these yourself,making the substrate,Etc. I take Lionsmane extract, and it helps clear up the brain-fog that I get from fibromyalgia and CFS. Awesome upload again Ben, Thank you!!
Definitely would like to see more along this line of "how to do something." Your time in showing things is most appreciated! (You and Charles are my favorites 😊 for learning these things!)
Lions Mane is amazing alongside Magnesium L-Threonate it saved me from dementia caused by a long term undiagnosed chronic illness I wished I had known about this before I could have helped my mother with Alzheimer thank you for highlighting this amazing mushroom 🙏
A very timely video for me! My husband has Long Covid which impairs mental faculties among other things and I also have a daughter and grandchildren with ADHD so I shall definitely be giving Lions Mane growing a go. Thanks, Ben!
I’d highly recommend trying out mushroom coffee/chocolate powder first to see if you like it and it works for your family. I tried a sample and thought it was super tasty, but my husband wasn’t a fan. I hope you find something for your squad - Long Covid and ADHD are no joke, man
I enjoyed getting to see some cooking. We're in a food rut in this house. Would love to see what you do with all your lovely garden produce and also if/how you store into winter
Your very first video where I already knew everything. 😄 I've been growing mushrooms for 4 years but with not much luck with Lion's Mane thus far and so, would love to watch you cultivate a batch from 'scratch'. Thank you so much once again.
I had one growing in my backyard in South Dakota, USA. At the time I didn’t know what type it was, but enjoyed seeing its fuzziness grow. Nice to be able to give it a name now. I just might try to grow some for eating someday. Thanks for the information Ben.
I saw a beautiful lion's mane in the woods ... so cool to see it growing wild. Definitely interested in growing lion's mane and other mushrooms at home. Thanks for the video ❤
Great video and great content, thank you for all the information, you are an encyclopedia source! Can't wait to show us how you will grow them, thank you again so much! ❤
Great video Ben, as always. We love mushrooms and this was tremendous, heard about the lion's mane how excellent qualities it has, never seen it where we are. Will look into it, even considering buying the concentrate. It all will be satisfying. I have to agree you also make growing these easy, we tried a box once, it was exciting - more a novelty, but the harvest was not too great, so we never ventured into another variety. Love watching your videos, nice to see what you get up to or into!! Hope you are not too chilly yet. Kind regards.
DIY Mush-Tek taken to Mr Incredible Mycodos level of sheer insanity making video fun! ruclips.net/video/z41Wy5ZF4O8/видео.html Great video and tunes it is set to and NO it is not required to go this hi-tek to grow shrooms. he does such well though, even though an overhead laminar flow is unwise.
I've grown lion's mane multiple times and it's one of my favorites to eat! I also take a 6 mushroom supplement daily from freshcap mushrooms for all of the medicinal benefits ❤😊
Thanks for filming this. I have been thinking of trying mushrooms but thought it would be difficult (based on a conversation with a grower at the farmer's market). You supplied the humidity information that will push me to try this fungus. Yes, please try your own substrate and share it with us.
I actually started growing lions mane from a fruiting block about a week ago. I wish I’d seen your video sooner because it seems I made a lot of errors. I’m starting to get pins but they look a little pink. I’m growing them in a monotub. I also used the last of the syringe of mycelium for blue oyster and shiitake on grain spawn. I would love to see more videos on growing mushrooms!
I've been growing my own shoots after watching your other video, had a few nice oyster mushrooms but really like to try chicken in the wood. Shame the kits are a bit pricey but used straw and bought mycelium.
Wow, strange how this video has just came out. I've just harvested my first flush and had a lovely breakfast with Lions Mane as the mushroom. Most the mushroom had black spores as they were coming up to fully grown. The bag was touching the main body and I was misting. Wished this video came out sooner. 😖😂 Anyways onto my, hopefully more successful,next flush. Thanks Ben. I'm trying Shiitake next.
Thanks Ben😊that would be fantastic to grow your own as kits are expensive.I paid $8=£4.09 for 150 grams of Exotic mushrooms.Thanks for showing us how easy it is to grow a kit. Cheer’s 🇦🇺
Good video I'm grind some mushroom packs I've been trying for 2 years to get filled mushrooms to grow in my lawn do you think you can do it I've sent a couple of people manage it
I'm drinking my lion's mane/chicory 'coffee' as I watch 😊 I'd love to see how it's done without a kit...it would be fun to grow my own. Lion's mane has been very good to me❣️
Definitely give it a go, funnily enough i got some spores before i saw your video, going out today to buy some buckets, sawdust & hard wood pellets to make my own 💪🏻💚✌🏻
Yes, please grow your own from substrate: I bought a kit a few years back and it made one mushroom. Hardly worth it. When the "mushroom lady" is at our farmer's market I buy them from her, but it's hit or miss. Thanks for the bit about dehydrating and also cooking them up--really good stuff!!
I would love to be able to learn how to grow these where I live. I have found them in the wild in different parts of WA State so I know what to look for.
I started to grow Shiitake mushrooms 6 months ago. Initially I bought a fruiting shiitake kit, and I scraped some mycelium from the block. After that, I use it to propagate the grain spawns, then propagate my own fruiting substrate. Very nice harvest. I also inoculated my home made mycelium into logs and it will he kept in the garden. Then I want to start growing oyster mushrooms. This time, I don't buy the kit, but start with a small amount of grain spawn, only 1/3 of the price. It grows really fast and I never need to buy disposable plastic bags.
Great grow guide again Ben and great shroom farm tour you did recently. I am using a Black Reishi Skull kit from Fat Fox shrooms at present, different to the way the ladies in your farm video, had cast their own mycelia fruiting blocks into a skull shape, for the Antlers to form from. Fat Foxes ones, are the fruiting block within a Crystal Skull and a Display Case Tank and they form super freaky Black Antlers or Conks, depending on how much O2/CO2 F.A.E you give them. They are so freaky to watch grow. Their Dyrad Saddle kit was also awesome, giving a near kilo on first flush. Waiting on flush two at present to emerge, post cold shocking and re-hydration.
See Bens pior Oyster Mushroom Bucket growing video. Basically, you can pretty much perpetually grow any strain of a mushroom from a kit. Allow the kit to do its thing for several flushes. Then transfer such, into a split of the fruiting blocks remains, into fresh substrates in buckets, bags, boxes etc as the growing vessel. Allow such to incubate to colonise and take over the new food source. Bacterial contamination may occur, or may not. In which case, a new line of the mushrooms will happily grow in your new substrate food source. You can also, place a small sample of any given mushroom, onto agar plates. or into a distilled water, mixed with nutrients (such as honey, brown sugar, light malt extract, or karo) and create a Liquid Culture, of the genetics of the mushrooms mycelia. You can then LC to more LC (expoentially), or to more Agar (exponentially), and from either, you can innoculate grains, sawdust, dowels, with the same genetics of the mushroom you effectively cloned, from the one small piece you took. You could also do so, more low tek, via pieces of mushrooms placed onto wet carboard, as what is termed STEM BUTTING! This creates CARBBOARD SPAWN. A low tek method with the advantage that most bacteria, cannot live on carboard. So its a great way to clean up a genetics line from agar, if such ever contaminates from airbourne competitive funghi or bacteria. Once you have some form of master mushroom culture, be it LC or Agar, or Grains you place such to to colonise, you effectively have an exponential perpetual cycle of mushrooms. So you then place the LC, Agar, Card, Grain, Sawdust, Dowel etc, into a larger food source substrate medium in any container you fancy. Let them incubate, colonise them start to pin. At which point you introduce fruiting conditions and Flush the mushrooms to harvest and eat, tincture, power, preserve in a myriad ways or sell. So technically it is possible to take say a 10 dollar LC syringe of 10ml of Shrooms of a given strain. Take 1ml of it to Agar for example. Then clone the agar/LC endlessly. Taking each 1ml of such, to endless Grain jars, and each jar to endless more grain jars, then to fruiting blocks, buckets, straw bales, whatever ya fancy, even boots, books, clothes, you name it, mushrooms will eat practically anything, even radioactive wastes and make them safer each time. Thereby, your 1 dollar of 1cc or 1ml of LC, became, 10'000's of pund/kilos of delicious mushrooms, that you either ate, gave away, stored down, or sold to make delicious local gourmet food and medicine from 1 dollar, into 10'000s of dollars if you chose to seriously farm them and sell them! No 2nd Seed required, unlike plants that need a seed per plant to then perhaps get seeds viable from next time round, Mushrooms are a living mycelial network, that is a clone of itself. if you wish to change genetics, simply take some spores from any given mushroom and make a spore liquid culture syringe instead. or a swab of spores to agar instead. Matters not. Same process. Spores must MATE, and produce a new genetic strain of mushroom. You never know what you will get. Plus you can clone any of them, perpetually to agar LC etc in the same process. however via spores, you are deling with a hit and miss scenario, as you have no idea what might grow from what spores mixed. All White Button Mushrooms of the Agaricus bisporus genus in supermarkets that everyone eats globally, are for example a CLONE of a single ALBINO WHITE Mushroom, that grew on just 1 guys Chestnut Field Mushroom farm by accident. he cloned it. It is now, everyones mushroom globally. So yes creating a self sufficient system with mushrooms to grow at home is 100% possible. All you need to do, is START! It kinda does the rest itself! Mushrooms want to grow, wherever they are allowed to spread. Beware, that can mean, that indoor growing, could lead to their spores taking hold in your own property and mushrooms growing from places they should not. Although such folkstales are RARE! Do not be surprised however if a Bookcase exposed to mushroom spores, does not explode into life! As such could well happen. make sure you read Enid Blyton and The Far Away Tree, so that they feel at home lol ;)
Arriving late, but adding my voice that I would love to see you grow lion's mane and other mushrooms from your own substrate. I'm personally interested in any method that removes the use of plastic (not just single use but all plastic materials). Thanks for the video!
I had to remove a hazard tree (cottonwood c. 1 m diameter) about 10 years ago. Having the stump ground out was prohibitively expensive, so I ordered some mushroom spawn (birch dowels full of mycelium). I drilled holes around the perimeter of the stump and pushed the dowels in. Living in Mew Mexico made keeping the stump moist enough a challenge, but I finally put three big plastic pots full of flowers on it, and that kept it moist enough. I had crops of oyster mushrooms for years, and it finally broke down the stump into the BEST soil in the whole yard. If you try this at home, be sure to choose a mushroom like Oyster or Lion's Mane, which you absolutely won't confuse with any local, toxic varieties. Your stump usually has to be fairly fresh...6 months or so from the tree's death, though this depends a little on the variety.
Wow i love this method but i have also seen your other videos on growing mushrooms and there is a difference are those the only ones 2 types you grow and i would love to see more videos
I have grown lion's mane, oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms. I would love to try more, such as shiitakes. Hope to do more mushroom-related videos in the future. :-)
I had these last week for the first time, and they're *incredibly* delicious. I'd be happy to grow these. I'm not sure I'd want to do it in the house, though.
It will be amzing to get some general info on how to grow mushrooms. You already had that video of how to do them in a bucket, and I am curiosu if you can do the same with this type of variaties
Inspired for pressie for family of friends who havecquirky kids..they'll love watchibgbit grow and think they can eat despite their complex food allergies
Yes please Ben, grow your own lions mane and record it all for our future viewing. Love watching your content.
Thanks.
Definitely try growing it! Would love to try doing it as a self sustainable way instead of buying a kit every time.
I would like that also, as I've done kit
Yes Ben try growing it , yourself Kits aren’t cheap Mushrooms are delicious and expensive. I bought a tray of Exotic mushrooms 150grams for $8 as a treat .I cooked in garlic and butter .Amazing the Lions mane Variety are beneficial for brain health etc 😊
I grow Lions Mane, Oysters and King mushrooms. I stsrted with kits and now have moved on to using Mycellium Syringes to innoculate my growth medium..There is a LOT of information on RUclips..Take your time and it will be an amazing experience. Ben will help you to circumvent the stumbling blocks!!
Yes,would love more vids on growing these and turkey tail etc sustainably from scratch!
Yes, definitely do one on substrate please.
I absolutely want to see that video. Great timing in this video also.
It was so fun to see you not only grow these mushrooms, but also prepare them! We definitely want to see you grow your own.
Yes please, I would definitely want to watch a video of you growing these yourself,making the substrate,Etc.
I take Lionsmane extract, and it helps clear up the brain-fog that I get from fibromyalgia and CFS.
Awesome upload again Ben, Thank you!!
Definitely would like to see more along this line of "how to do something." Your time in showing things is most appreciated! (You and Charles are my favorites 😊 for learning these things!)
More please! Thanks for keeping us growing in the `off season`. Love your stuff!
Of course we would love to see you make your own diy mushroom kit! Other mushrooms would also be interesting. 💕
Lions Mane is amazing alongside Magnesium L-Threonate it saved me from dementia caused by a long term undiagnosed chronic illness I wished I had known about this before I could have helped my mother with Alzheimer thank you for highlighting this amazing mushroom 🙏
Yes please, would love to see more lions mane experiments!👍🏻
I am here for any/all mushroom growing videos!
I add lionsmane powder to my coffee in the morning.
Thank you! 👍😉
I wish more people do this...this is so cool.
Please Ben, would love to see how you get on growing yer own. 👍 Another great and interesting episode!
A very timely video for me! My husband has Long Covid which impairs mental faculties among other things and I also have a daughter and grandchildren with ADHD so I shall definitely be giving Lions Mane growing a go. Thanks, Ben!
I’d highly recommend trying out mushroom coffee/chocolate powder first to see if you like it and it works for your family. I tried a sample and thought it was super tasty, but my husband wasn’t a fan. I hope you find something for your squad - Long Covid and ADHD are no joke, man
Just when I thought you’d taught me everything I need to know, you come up with this. Kit on the way and yes I’d love to see a follow up video!
yes please, so interested in growing it without a kit. thank you for all the great videos you make! ❤
I am so excited! I found some growing in an old hollowed out oak tree laying on the ground!
The timing of this video was perfect!
Ben you are a true delight. Please don’’t ever stop making your videos ❤
Thank you so much! :-)
@ Truly you and your videos have helped me so much with my garden. Happy holidays to you and your family.
I enjoyed getting to see some cooking. We're in a food rut in this house. Would love to see what you do with all your lovely garden produce and also if/how you store into winter
I’d love to see that too 👍

Have started taking Lions Mane mushrooms powder and noticed beneficial effect from day one ❤😊
What brand and where did you purchase yours? Thanks
These are what I take, if that's any help: shop.realmushrooms.com/collections/lions-mane-mushroom-extracts
One of your best videos Ben. Really demystifying the world of edible mushrooms 👍
Thanks so much. :-)
I love this type of video. We should all know how to grow our own medicines. Thank you for sharing this with us
Yes, try starting on your own. I would love to learn more. Thanks!
I saw a beautiful lion's mane in the woods ... so cool to see it growing wild. Definitely interested in growing lion's mane and other mushrooms at home. Thanks for the video ❤
That's amazing - what a treat to see it growing wild. :-)
Great video and great content, thank you for all the information, you are an encyclopedia source! Can't wait to show us how you will grow them, thank you again so much! ❤

So pleased you enjoy the videos. We had a cold snap a week or two ago but it's turned mild-ish again!
Great episode! Thanks. I'd love to see how you'd do it yourself without a kit. Other mushrooms would also be interesting.
Oh my God I love mushrooms the morel mushrooms my favorite 💕
Yes please do that 👍👍. I would love to know and do myself 🙂
Fascinating, really worth giving it a go. Thanks as always Ben.
Wow I learned so much from this video!! Thank you so much Ben !! I have adhd so I really ought to give this fungi a try !!!
I find it really helps me focus - so definitely worth a try. :-)
Would love to see you do that!
Very excited to see you covering mushrooms

I've grown lion's mane multiple times and it's one of my favorites to eat! I also take a 6 mushroom supplement daily from freshcap mushrooms for all of the medicinal benefits ❤😊
Great video. I've always wanted to try and grow any shroom outside.
Thanks for filming this. I have been thinking of trying mushrooms but thought it would be difficult (based on a conversation with a grower at the farmer's market). You supplied the humidity information that will push me to try this fungus.
Yes, please try your own substrate and share it with us.
Looking forward to seeing more great stuff 👍

I'm trying Shiitake next.
Grow lion's mane from your hand made substrate mix? Yes, please! 😊
Happy New Year! Keep warm!
Yes please do try growing some of your own Lions Mane mushrooms.
Thanks Ben😊that would be fantastic to grow your own as kits are expensive.I paid $8=£4.09 for 150 grams of Exotic mushrooms.Thanks for showing us how easy it is to grow a kit. Cheer’s 🇦🇺
I'd love to see you do more videos on these mushrooms!
Thank you and I hope you show us more on how to maximize growing mushrooms.
Good video I'm grind some mushroom packs I've been trying for 2 years to get filled mushrooms to grow in my lawn do you think you can do it I've sent a couple of people manage it
I'm drinking my lion's mane/chicory 'coffee' as I watch 😊 I'd love to see how it's done without a kit...it would be fun to grow my own. Lion's mane has been very good to me❣️
That's a great combination for a 'coffee' - love it! :-)
I love growing lions mane 😍
yes, please do own substrat and also please advice where to get substrat. Thanks
Yes please Ben! Great Video.
Another one for growing your own. I've been out off doing it myself since I don't want to keep buying kits.
Thanks Ben, yes I would be interested in another vid
Thanks for the great content
That was very interesting. Would love to see how to start your own kit 😀 love your channel, all the best
Definitely give it a go, funnily enough i got some spores before i saw your video, going out today to buy some buckets, sawdust & hard wood pellets to make my own 💪🏻💚✌🏻
Great job! Hope it all grows well for you. :-)
@@GrowVeg thank you 💚 fingers crossed 🤞🏻 🙌🏻
Thank you for this interesting video. Yes, please try to grow it in the mediium you create yourself.
I've just started a lion's mane kit going, please do a more in depth episode on producing your own substrate 😊
Cheers! And happy new year🎉
Yes, please 😊
I baught a kit and followed the instructions months back but not much happening untill 2 days ago, will now sqeese out air and add new bag thanks,
Yes, please grow your own from substrate: I bought a kit a few years back and it made one mushroom. Hardly worth it. When the "mushroom lady" is at our farmer's market I buy them from her, but it's hit or miss. Thanks for the bit about dehydrating and also cooking them up--really good stuff!!
Cheers so much Chris. Will definitely consider this, thank you.
I would love to see you grow your own lion's mane mushroom. Thanks for the great video.
I get my psychedelics and microdosing stuff from an online store where I got my own hi's on Instagram also on telegram with the below handle
*mycopete.*
I would love to be able to learn how to grow these where I live. I have found them in the wild in different parts of WA State so I know what to look for.
Maybe do a video on freeze drying some.
Yes please! Loved this video. Thank you.
Yes, please show me how to do all of it!
I would like to learn more about preparing the substrate for growing lions mane mushrooms

Yes pls for the DIY substrate vid
Great video . I just love mushrooms
Hello Ben.. can you please make a video on blueberry masterclass
Check out our video on blueberries: ruclips.net/video/mBFufBKH7hc/видео.htmlsi=jkrYxUEf0MCiw8iD

I have grown lion's mane, oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms. I would love to try more, such as shiitakes. Hope to do more mushroom-related videos in the future. :-)
Ok then i am looking forward to it
please advise where is best to get mushroom growing kits. what was the name of the firm in your video. ?
Yes please! Especially interested in producing my own spawn. Spawn is a big cost.
Wow beautiful thanks for sharing
Yes please, brilliant😀😀👍👍
Yes, plz show how to grow the lion's mane
I had these last week for the first time, and they're *incredibly* delicious. I'd be happy to grow these. I'm not sure I'd want to do it in the house, though.
It will be amzing to get some general info on how to grow mushrooms. You already had that video of how to do them in a bucket, and I am curiosu if you can do the same with this type of variaties
yes please, yes please!
Inspired for pressie for family of friends who havecquirky kids..they'll love watchibgbit grow and think they can eat despite their complex food allergies
Ben, Thank you for showing us his mushroom, please try growing it the other way. So inspiring. God Bless You
Please have a go at doing it all yourself, i like the kits but would be really cool to see it being done from step 1
