THE HASSLE FREE, READY TO FRUIT SOLUTION TO GROWING LION’S MANE AT HOME
Lion’s Mane has been treasured in Asia for thousands of years due to its cognitive and nerve benefits. Some reports even suggest that Buddhist Shaolin monks used Lion's Mane tea to increase cognitive function and improve their focus during meditation, allowing them to reach deeper states of consciousness.
Today, Lion’s Mane is best known for its nootropic or brain-enhancing benefits. Scientific research has found that Lion’s Mane mushroom contains terpene compounds, called hericenones and erinacines, which can cross the blood brain barrier and stimulate the production of a protein called Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). NGF can repair, maintain and develop neurons in the brain, helping to protect it from neurodegenerative conditions and promoting cognitive function, focus and memory.
Besides the many potential health benefits, Lion’s Mane is a highly adaptable mushroom can be used in a variety of preparations - cooked, dried, turned into an extract, or even brewed as a tea. Lion's Mane is also celebrated for its culinary properties. Serving as an excellent substitute for meat, its flavour and texture, particularly when cooked, bear an uncanny resemblance to the succulent consistency and taste of crab meat.

INGREDIENTS
Good ingredients make for good grow kits. That is why we only use our 100% natural and organic grain and masters mix substrate in our kits. We only use the best, natural ingredients for our products, so you get the best mushrooms.
Our proprietary substrate blend is a mix of optimally hydrated millet grains, milo grains, hardwood pellets, soy hulls and gypsum. This mixture is carefully hydrated to field capacity and sterilised in a computer-controlled steam autoclave for 2 hours at 121°C. The result is an optimal 6:1 substrate to spawn ratio. This is then inoculated with our own Lion’s Mane liquid culture, the substrate providing the perfect nutrient rich environment for mycelium, ensuring rapid colonisation, large yields, and minimal risk of contamination. After a period of a few weeks the substrate is fully colonised and ready to ship to customers.
