Description

Important: This Item Can NOT be shipped to WA

Lion’s Mane Pride (Hericium erinaceus) Gourmet & Medicinal. Wood-loving Species– Side fruiting, Fruiting temp: 18°-24°C

Rootlab is currently transitioning from Millet to Rye, so some spawn may be delivered on organic Rye instead of the advertised Millet.

When transferred to grain, Lion’s Mane can take 2–3 weeks before visible growth appears, and colonisation often looks lighter and patchier compared to faster-growing species. On substrate, blocks are usually put into fruiting conditions around the 3–4 week mark, even if they do not look fully white. If left too long, the mushrooms may even begin fruiting inside the bag. This slower, less dense appearance is completely normal for Lion’s Mane, and with clean and optimal conditions it will still produce healthy fruiting bodies.

Check out all the variety of Grain Spawn on offer.

Grain-spawn mycelium, Gourmet and medicinal strains are available fully colonised for mushroom cultivation, made with excellent commercial-quality culture.

Ready-to-go bags! Cut your bag open, add to your pre-sterilised or pasteurised substrate or sterilised grains and allow it to colonise completely.

GENERAL GRAIN SPAWN INFORMATION-

Fully colonised and contaminant-free
100% reputable Millet or Organic Rye
Calcium Carbonate added for supplementation
Gypsum is added to prevent grains from clumping together
It comes with a bit of Sawdust/ Manure or Straw to expose mycelium to its final substrate and reduce the lag period.
Grains are autoclaved and prepared at field capacity

Method to use:-

Add at least 5-20% grain spawn in your substrate. The amount of spawn you add depends on whether your substrate is sterilised or pasteurised, your experience level, and the type of mycelium used(Reishi and Oysters require less spawn than shiitake, Almond or Portobello).
The grains can also be transferred to more Sterilised Grain bags and expanded further.
Suppose you are using pasteurised substrate instead of the sterilised substrate. In that case, a higher grain spawn rate may lead to fewer chances of contamination, as higher grain spawning leads to faster colonisation.

Bags are assured 100% contaminant-free due to their sterilisation process of 2h at 15psi in a commercial autoclave. Moreover, we inoculate and heat-seal our bags before a 0.3-micron laminar flow hood. These strains are vigorous and fast-growing, reducing the chances of contamination once the substrate is added.
