Lion’s Mane (Hericium Erinaceus) Liquid Culture

Lion’s Mane Mushroom (Hericium Erinaceus) are renowned for their exceptional taste, mimicking lobster meat, and their medicinal properties. Research is finding they can promote the growth of new brain cells (neurogenesis) and are now being pursued as a treatment for dementia. While they can be temperamental to grow, often fruiting earlier than the grower desires, they make up for it in beauty. By carefully adding a portion of this liquid culture to grain and, following colonization, introducing the mycelium to sterilized sawdust substrate, large fruits can be expected, and you will see they live up to their name.

You will receive one 10ml syringe + needle, which can be used to colonize approximately ten 500ml jars of grain or expanded into further agar or liquid cultures. Each culture has been tested for contamination. Furthermore, this mycelium is second generation and has been selected for desirable genetics, namely: growth rate, thickness of hyphae and resistance to contamination.

Cultures are created under sterile conditions at our on-site laboratory using a laminar flowhood.
