Lion's Mane on Pasturized Fuel Pellets

I just made up 2 bags using Lipa's Pasteurized Fuel Pellet Tek. One was smaller with only 4 cups of pellets. I am letting them cool tonight and will inoculate with some Hericium erinaceus spawn that I grew from sterilized wheat berries I purchased from Outgrow and a LC from Sporeworks. Hope it all works out. I am going to use 1 pound of spawn for each bag. I hope that's enough. Will keep this post updated.

Followed the tek instructions, but the sawdust seemed pretty dry. It barely stayed together when squeezed. I added about a cup more water to the big bag and 3/4 cup to the smaller bag. Probably just a difference in fuel pellets. Also had kind of a hard time getting the spawn mixed in evenly. Guess we'll see what happens.

Arrrg! I'm always trying to get things just right, and I screw it up! After I added more water, now I have pooling in the bottom of the bags. Should have left well enough alone, but I wanted to make sure the mushrooms would have enough moisture to keep going. I punched some holes in the bottom and hopefully enough will drain out to still be ok.

Sawdust should be moist up to the point where no water pours out when squeezed, anything over is no bueno IME

Very nice 
How long did spawn take to colonize substrate?

It took about 14 days. But it didn't look fully colonized, which I guess is normal for lions mane. But it was starting to fruit. in the airspace. So I just cut the top off, and laid it on it's side. I have another bag spawned at the same time. I folded the top of the bag over and made a few holes in the bag to try and force it to fruit out the holes. No luck with that one so far.

Thanks! The bag that I just cut three little holes in, is finally starting to fruit through the holes. I have read that if you want bigger fruits you should limit the number. Once they get a little bigger, I will post some pics of those also. This is my first decent results with lion's mane. Lipa's tek is so easy, I love it!

Hmmmmm....these fruits are starting to turn yellow brown. Anyone have ideas why? They don't even have teeth yet. Will have to take a pic later to show what I mean. This is a pic from like yesterday.

The ones in the lower left of the bag are starting to form teeth, so about time to harvest I guess. They don't seem very big though.

These are the ones where I just cut holes in the bag to see if they will get bigger by limiting the number of fruits. They took longer to start, but seem to be growing faster than the ones where I cut the top off the bag.

And harvest time. It's a pretty pathetic crop (4 oz), but it's just a little bag, and I don't supplement. The smaller fruits were pretty mushy and water logged. I fried those first in butter and garlic salt. They were pretty bitter, but fairly good. Then I took one of the larger, firm fruits and cut in slices and fried the same way. HOLY MOLEY! What an awesome taste! Now I see what the big deal is. I really want more of these.
