Is this Lion's Mane?
    #28401834 - 07/20/23 02:38 PM (6 months, 6 days ago)

I've grown a number of Lion's Mane pre-colonized bags. Great success, 'cuz it's so easy. Then I made my first LM bag from live liquid culture. Everything went according to plan, with a nice first flush as/when expected. But back in the Martha tent, waiting for the 2nd flush, I found this growing out of the bag.



It looked like a toadstool to me, so I immediately got it out of my tent, and threw it away. Did I make a mistake? Or might it be young Lion's Mane with no hair yet? And if not, what any idea what it is?

Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. Bummer.

I've only grown three bags of LM to this point. That was my fourth - and first that was not purchased pre-colonized - and all of them had visible "hair" when they started growing out of the bag. That was a first.

Cool. Live and learn. Thank for the help.

I just grew one out and the pins or whatever were hairy ish (maybe more spikey) but once it started growing out of the bag it got smooth like yours. Then it grew the actual hairs when it matured.

Edit: here’s how it looked right as it was starting to get the hairs.

Thanks for the pic. At the time that I trashed the bag I was aware that there was a very real possibility that I was just inexperienced with all the different ways Lion's Mane can present. That said, it was just one bag of multiple bags, and on the outside chance it wasn't LM - but was some other mushroom growing - it seemed well considered to get it out of the Martha Tent before it matured and started throwing off spores.

Thanks for the help. :-)
