The Lion’s Mane grow kit (Hericium erinaceus) offers much more than the chance to grow a gourmet mushroom at home. Its slow, expressive growth and white, filament-like structure turn each cultivation into a process that invites observation, patience, and allowing life to unfold.
In this new edition, cultivation meets art. The illustrations by Mateo Schmitthenner are not merely box design—they are the starting point of a living transformation. As the Lion’s Mane grows, the artwork extends beyond the cardboard and is completed through unique, organic structures.
This exceptional mushroom is appreciated for both its delicate taste and its benefits for cognitive health and the immune system. Enjoy it easily from home, ideal for beginner growers and lovers of natural wellness.
Grow, observe, and let nature complete the artwork.
Using a cutter or scissors, cut out the marked square on the top of the box.
Through this opening you will see the growing block: a mixture of plant-based substrate (such as sawdust and organic bran) that has been colonized by the mycelium, the vegetative form of our mushrooms.
Using a clean knife or scissors, make a cross-shaped (X) cut of approximately 3 × 3 cm in the visible plastic covering the substrate (for Hericium: 1.5 × 1.5 cm).
There is no need to remove the plastic or fold back the flaps of the cut. The mushrooms will push through on their own while the substrate remains moist.
Place the kit in a location with:
Spray clean water directly onto the cut 2–3 times a day, making sure the area stays moist (but not waterlogged).
From around day 7 (this may vary slightly), you will notice the first mushroom pins. Spray at least twice a day, more generously.
When you see that oyster mushrooms lose their curved shape or Lion’s Mane develops its characteristic “teeth,” it is the ideal time to harvest. Gently twist and pull the entire cluster to detach it.
After a few days of rest following the harvest, you can resume watering and wait for a new flush of mushrooms.
If after the second harvest you notice that the block is drying out or no longer responding, it’s time to give it a hydration boost: remove it from the box and place it overnight in a container of water with the X-shaped cut facing downward.
Then let the excess water drain and place it back in the box. This cycle can be repeated two or three more times, as long as the mycelium remains white, active, and healthy-looking.
