This one is from a few months ago. My first Lion’s mane.

Substrate recipe and protocol: 5 cups (weight: 850 g) oak hardwood pellets

1.25 cups (weight: 65 g) wheat bran

1.4 L water

Place substrate in grow bag (polypropylene, 25 x 50 cm), wait for the hardwood pellets to expand. Sterilize the bag in a pressure cooker for 1 hr 30 min. Allow the substrate to cool over night.

Inoculate using about 1L of fully colonized Lion’s mane grain spawn.

Wait 3 - 4 weeks for full colonization.

Make a cut in the bag. Place the substrate block in a humid place (60% - 90% RH), and lightly mist daily.
