Normal for lions mane to be so big?

It hasn't started to form the hanging 'teeth' yet and it is already nearly as big as the substrate bag. Is this normal!?

It gets plenty of fresh air and misted 3 or 4 times daily.

That is exactly what happened to my lions mane the first time I grew them and it was 99% the fresh air exchange. I had it in a monotub similar to your sgfc, and consistently got those blobs, they never "toothed". My experience with these guys is they like lots of o2. My problems went away when I properly dialed in a better fruiting chamber. But on the other hand I heard o2 starved lion's mane potentially have more erinacines and or other alkaloids. So if your growing for meds might be all good there. Hope this helps.:toast:

Useful, thank you. They are next to a door to a balcony, which I open when fanning 5+ times a day.

I had a similar o2 problem with oysters during spring / summer, so I ended up just leaving the SGFCs outside. They grew perfectly (too cold for that now). I didn't realise that lions mane could be as co2 hungry!

I guess I can eat these and try something else with the next flush.
