Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) Inoculated on Oak
Lion's mane is a unique and beautiful mushroom that looks like a white, fluffy pom-pom preferring hardwoods, particularly oaks, elms, poplars and maples. It has a mild, sweet, and seafood-like flavor and a tender, chewy texture that resembles crab or lobster. Lion's mane is ideal for making creamy soups, pasta dishes, vegan burgers, and seafood substitutes. Lion's mane is also a powerful medicinal mushroom that can enhance brain function, nerve regeneration, memory, and mood.
To grow your own lion's mane, orient the oak log vertically and partially bury in a cool, partially shady or bright location in the garden and enjoy the harvest in Fall. Fruitings most frequently arise at or near the stump/soil interface. You should expect several fruiting events every year for around 5 years.
Length of time for maturing: 2–4 weeks
Preferred fruiting temperature: 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C)
