Outdoors, Lion’s Mane grows well on logs (beech and hard maple are good choices), especially using the totem method whereby you sandwich sawdust spawn between pieces of wood. These Lion’s Mane totems were made by Paw Paw Ridge Homestead.

I added a broken up mushroom block of WineCaps to my garden in April, come mid June I’ve been doing nothing but picking mushrooms out of my garden. Highly recommend! I got mine from @northspore.bsky.social #fungi #mushroom #growmushroom #garden #homestead
Pairing mushrooms with the right substrate, like hardwood for Pioppino or manure blends for dung-loving species, while supplementing with coco coir, soybean hulls, or gypsum can accelerate colonization, improve health, and boost harvests.

Hericium Erinaceus @northspore.bsky.social... accidentally fruited a tiny chunk of a fruiting block from y'all, and (finally) started learning agar tek. I had Wondered if the lion's mane in this jar was still viable after almost a year.... Yes, yes it is 😄!
