Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) | Premium Grain Spawn (350g)
The Nootropic Powerhouse – Gourmet Flavor & Medicinal Excellence.
₹1000.00
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after mushrooms in India, prized equally by high-end culinary chefs and the health-and-wellness community. Easily identifiable by its beautiful, cascading, icicle-like spines, this functional mushroom is famous for its neuroprotective properties and its ability to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain.
In the kitchen, it is a gourmet delicacy. When cooked, its dense, meaty texture and sweet, savory flavor make it an uncanny, plant-based substitute for crab or lobster. This 350g bag of premium grain spawn is packed with vigorous, commercial-grade mycelium, ready to be expanded into bulk hardwood substrates for massive yields.
Strain Specifications
Genetics: Hericium erinaceus (Commercial High-Yield Isolate).
Substrate Preference: A strict wood-decay fungus. Performs best on sterilized hardwood sawdust (such as oak or beech) supplemented with wheat bran or soy hulls (the "Masters Mix").
Flavor & Medicinal Profile: Tastes remarkably like sweet seafood. Highly valued for naturally occurring bioactive compounds (hericenones and erinacines) used in premium nootropic supplements.
Climate Adaptability: While it prefers slightly cooler temperatures for dense fruiting, this specific isolation is highly vigorous and colonizes rapidly in standard Indian room-temperature conditions.
Why Cultivators Choose Our Lion’s Mane
Dual-Market Demand: An incredibly profitable strain for commercial growers, as it can be sold fresh to restaurants or dried and powdered for the supplement market.
Aggressive Genetics: Selected specifically for fast colonization speeds to outpace common competitors and molds on supplemented blocks.
High Biological Efficiency: Produces large, dense, "pom-pom" like fruiting bodies that weigh heavily and provide excellent returns on substrate investment.
What You Receive
1 x 350g Fully Colonized Grain Spawn Bag: Premium grains, optimally hydrated, sterilized, and inoculated with elite Lion’s Mane genetics.
Breathable Filter Patch Bag: Ensures necessary gas exchange while keeping the live mycelium 100% sterile and protected from airborne contaminants until you are ready to inoculate.
Cultivation Pro-Tip: Do not be alarmed if the mycelium looks thin or "wispy" compared to Oyster mushrooms! Lion's Mane mycelium is naturally very fine. It is also notoriously eager to fruit and may begin forming small white "pins" inside the bag before you even open it—this is a sign of exceptional vigor!
