Lions Mane Ready to Harvest

Huge thanks to foresterr on here. I started to try out lions mane a few months ago, and after trial and errors, my fruits are starting to look a lot better. I have had lots of great advice and tips on here for growing.
Here are my 4 bags of lions mane I made. I do believe the bottom one should have been harvested a few days ago maybe. But for my 2nd try on these blocks, I'm happy with these fruits! Still work to do, and everyday more to learn.

Wow, looks like you're getting a good amount of fruit there! Did you supplement those?
Nice work!

Thank you for guiding me along this journey!
With these bags I used the masters mix, and I added 1/2 cup of wheat bran.

Just a half cup? wow. Much better yields than I used to get unsupplemented, they seem to like your mix

Wow, I am impressed!! Best yield I have seen from lions mane. It would be nice of you to give us a weight when you harvest.

Thanks to both of you! I appreciate it 🙏🏼 So they were 5lbs bags, and on each bag I had one long slice in the front, and because of side fruiting I slit a little hole in each bags side. The big fruits alone were right over half a pound, on each block. For some reason I thought the yields should be like 1.5-2 lbs on each block, but is that over 2 flushes? Or is that with 8-10lbs bags??
On my next bags I'm going to try not to have my front long slice as long, so maybe they wont come out as long, just more of a huge fruiting body, if that makes sense from the pictures?

I'm not sure about weights, I never weighed my harvests.
But yeah pretty much anytime you're forcing them to make less fruits, the ones you do get should be that much bigger, so I imagine the shorter front slice should work

That's good to know. On my next bags of lions mane I'll experiment around some more with smaller slits and that.
