Lion's Mane Colonization and Fruiting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2015
- Once the lion's mane mycelium begins colonizing the log, or substrate, it takes on a moldy appearance. As colonization of the log continues, the pieces will become fused together. Roughly 18 months later, fruiting should occur. Hericium erinaceus and Hericium americanum are the two species of lion's mane that are cultivated in this video. Erinaceus has an interior that is more intact while americanum exibits longer tooths and has open cavities in its interior. Lion's mane is said to have a taste that is similar to lobster.
Thank you for making/posting these informative videos!
Thank You for this Information I am Definitely trying this in my yard ❤ ✨🤗✨ ❤
Could you save some material by just seeding around the perimeter?
Yummy yummy yummy looking hericiums
Can lions mane survive cold Canadian winters (approx - 30f)?
That log that was stuck due to mycelium, how long has it been fruiting? Did you have to inoculate it again?
Veryy nice Forest! Just made a video on this myself..
I had an idea similar to this, but a horizontal slit on a log.
Awesome set up and what a perfect environment to grow mushroom! wow Lion's mane looked amazing. I would love the lion's mane spawn to grow it my self in here down under. Unfortunately could not find the spawn supplier here for this type of mushroom, since it's not popular due to the climate not suitable for it perhaps?

Before I plug up a live tree with lions main I would like to know what effects it has on a living tree.
Hi there, lion's mane totems are best on cut and stacked wood that lion's mane prefers.
How do you collect spores for lion’s mane?
@Deborah McCoy I appreciate it
I've rather enjoyed this series - thanks for posting.
Two questions:
1) how sensitive to temperature is mycelium? (for example - could someone start logs in November in New England and still enable colonization of the log?)
2) any nuggets of wisdom about morel or chanterelle?
+icarus901 Glad to hear you enjoyed our series. Thank you. As for your question, I'd like to direct you to this link on our Forest Farming website, ask.extension.org/groups/1727/ask and an eXtension agent could help you with some more information. I wish you the best in all of your forest farming endeavors!
How old were your logs when you inoculated them?
I read upto 3 weeks after cutting logs. Has to be fresh wood. A few types of woods can be used like oak, maple berch and other types.
quick,quick,quick am in kenya and interested in growing lion's mane mashroom kindly advice on how i can obtain the spawns
What about eating them fresh on a salad?
I am no expert, but most sources encourage cooking mushrooms.
Definitely avoid eating raw mushrooms. Especially button mushrooms (portobellos). They contain a carcinogenic chemical called agaritine that you can research if you’re interested.
Any benefits mushrooms have canNOT be accessed by the human body while mushrooms are raw.
In order to make the nutrients available, all mushrooms MUST be cooked.
So all those little, white, RAW, salad bar mushrooms have simply been taking up room in your stomach.
Your body has a hard time digesting them, and there is zero nutritional value.
COOK THOSE MUSHROOMS!
