A few Questions on Lions Mane
    #10344882 - 05/15/09 05:33 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

I want to grow lions mane and have a few questions, as I have never grown them before.

First, What is the usual Fruiting Temps for Lions Mane? I live down here in Texas, and the weather is usually around 75-85F, so is this too hot?

I want to Buy some Plugs off ebay and put them a Quart jar with a Oak Sawdust/Gypsum/Wheat bran Mixture. Once they are colonized, can I just open the lid and let them fruit off the top? How easily do they get contaminated?

Do they need as much air as Oysters? I heard you should keep them in a high Carbon Dioxide area to get them to fruit, like just keeping the lid on to build it up. is this true?

And one more question, how long from start to finish? Do they take longer to grow than Oysters?

Thanks alot for your answers, Im learning alot from this site!

My gut reaction would be to recommend not to buy your plugs off eBay, but rather from Paul Stamets here.  (I would normally suggest buying from one of the Shroomery's trusted vendors, here, but after looking, I cannot see any that sell plugs pre-inoculated with lion's mane.  Sponsors, feel free to correct me on this!)

Ok that might be a better idea, Fungi Perfecti is probably sterile, right?

Anybody know if they should have lots of air or if I should  keep the cap on them to build up Carbon Dioxide.

In order to fruit you do not want high co2 levels.

Go to the shroomery "main site" (www.shroomery.org) --> search for "lions mane" --> click on the link.  There you will find detailed instructions on the growth parameters.
(btw 500ppm CO2 = LOTS of fresh air)

And yes, FP would be sterile.

Cheers,
