- In this video I will show you each step in the process to grow lions mane mushrooms in bulk. This mushroom is amazing as a meat replacement and for healthy living.
Lion’s Mane is believed to be able to prevent the neuronal damage from amyloid-beta plaques, which accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer’s disease and reduces the symptoms of memory loss. We believe that now more than ever we need to be conscious of our health and boost the immune system that is responsible to protect us from viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing pathogens. I hope this video is helpful in teaching you how to grow your own!

Thanks for actually making in on camera and not just talking about it. Super helpful.
I appreciate the feedback! 🙏
Agreed ! This is exactly what I needed as a beginner 🙏🙏 thank you
👍🏻👍🏻
@@SporenSproutBro, where are the Lion's Mane mushroom spores and how to make a spore syringe
@@SporenSproutBro, if you put a plastic bag in a pressure cooker, won’t it melt?
Honestly I think this is the best all around mushroom growing video I've seen. Thanks a lot it inspired me to get started myself.
Thanks so much for the feedback 🙏 Good luck ! If you ever have questions, you can chat with me on my website sporensprout.com
Love this video, this guy is clearly a professional with this hobby.
Thank you for making this so straightforward and simple. I will be a faithful customer because of your directions. Cheers!
Thank You For your work and keeping the video simple with not too much BS chit chat. well done
This is the best mushroom grow video I’ve seen, thanks for posting, liked and subbed
Thank you!
I've recently purchased a few syringes of LM from you. I hope they're the ones in the video. Lol. I appreciate you having reasonable prices and clean product and you always ship the next day. I'm grateful.
Fantastic Video! Thank you for sharing this and making it very easy to understand. 🙏🏽⚡️
Thanks for watching!

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching !
i am new to growing, hopefully doing my first round. ive been a mushroom hunter for years but it is hit and miss for weather where i live. i look forward to growing. thank you very much!
I really appreciate the video! It was simple, calm, but not dragging-just right! I love that you don’t fill the time with chatter. Made my ADHD head focus when it was time to focus-on the prompt of your voice! Thank you again! ◡̈
Thank you for watching! I’m glad the video was easy to understand! 🍄
The best videos on youtube. Great prices on LQ anywhere
Great video. I was kinda on the fence about an indoor grow but I think I can do it now on the cheap. I'll look you up for lionsmane spawn soon. Liked n subbed
Thankyou for rapid reply via facebook. This is exactly what I needed to see. Brilliant piece of work. I’ve a few questions but will read comments first, research a bit more. This is very exciting.
Very good guide. Straight forward with the right information. Thanks!
Thanks for watching ! 🙏 🍄
So grateful for your simple and direct teaching style. I ordered multiple syringes from you and everything arrived so nicely packed in a timely manner. Your generosity with the knowledge you so effectively share in your channel and these videos will return to you in heaps and bounds. Looking forward to growing my 16 syringes over the next few months. Thank you so very much!
I really appreciate the feedback! Thank you so much for watching and good luck to you my friend! 🍄
This man is such a treasure!
Thank you my friend! 🍄
Very helpful, Thank you!
It's just wanted to say thanks for the great video and the genetics I just ordered some from you guys the other day from Etsy thank you 💯🙏
Thanks for watching and good luck! 🍄
Many many thanks for your video as this is so detailing all major things.
Thanks for watching!
Spore n' sprout - Thank you for your responce and link for this video. Just what i was looking for.
-beginner :-)
hermosas imagenes, muy clara tu explicación. gracias
Thank you for sharing from the UK
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the vid, good work, I have never tasted this mushroom but am going to try grow it. I would like to dehydrate it and use it for micro dosing along with other " fungi".
very relaxing tuttorial xD ty
Great Video!
Thank you for the nice video in details, inspiring. God bless ☺️🙏🇵🇭
Thank you for watching! 🙏 🍄
great job! thank you.
I've bought dozens of cultures from spore n sprout, best prices I've seen, great quality, and very quick delivery.5 stars
I appreciate the feedback! 🙏🍄
Nice, i'll be starting to grow mushrooms in about a week; i'm excited by the potential, at 67 1/2 i hope i'm up to it.
Good luck! Might be a little easier to start with using straw as your substrate. You can pasteurize the straw simply by submerging it in boiling water for 2 hours and then draining/drying and mixing with spawn.
Hey Doug. How did your grow turn out? I'm 68 and my first 2 attempts didn't turn out due to contamination. The 1st was lions mane and the 2nd was cordiceps. I hope you had success. I'm going to keep trying.
@@ranjanty Hey randy, cordyceps liquid culture must be purchased from a reputable breeder due to sensitivity to senescence. Please contact “Terrestrial Fungi” for Cordyceps culture. Cordyceps has different requirements than other species like Lionsmane.
@@ranjanty Randy, I hope to help you find success. Please message me directly at sporensprout.com with any questions you may have, I am 100% positive I can help you succeed.
Damn this shit seems complicated as fuck in comparison to regular gardening. wtf 😫.
I love your Spore n' Sprout videos, always precise and concise, could you share the recipe you made for the substrate but in grams?
God bless your heart boiiiii
Great job.
Thanks for watching!
I'm looking forward to growing Lions Mane next year (plus eating it for the first time and making a tincture from it). Very informative video, Thanxs🍄
His got lots of great stuff like Mushrooms, Lsd, Dmt, Chocolate Bars, Psychedelics, Microdose, Spores, Syringe, and many others, and the great part is that I always read to guide you through...
Feelgrabz....
Check on Instagram
Or Telegram..
Did you grow any yet? I'm trying to do lionsmane on logs. 12 months so far and nothing but a cluster of oyster.
Hey man, great vid, really informative! I had a few questions if you wouldnt mind 🙂. In the final stage when you have mixed all the spawn with the substrate you say to let it colonize for a further two weeks then you say to watch for pinning etc. I wanted to know during those 2 weeks if they are supposed to be in any indirect daylight (Or synthetic daylight) and if so is there a set number of hours to mimic its natural cycle or anything? I assume warm/room temp is needed again temp wise as well. Thanks!
Thanks! The lighting during colonization does not matter. Yes 75-78 F is good.
Very cool! Thanks for the video. Would basmati rice work instead of the rye?
That seed spawn method just works EVERY.... SINGLE.... TIME.... What an effective method. I have a near 100% success rate. I get a nice big 25 lb bag of rye berries from Great River Milling Co. Top quality product 👍
Thanks for showing us the steps man, that helps to figure it out much easier. I did though always recognize lion's mane as a mostly cool weather fungus, any reason specifically you use warm water and a warm climate for it?
You should try to keep the tent around 70-75 degrees F, which isn’t that warm. You get denser mushrooms when it’s colder and more fluffy when hot. Humidity and fresh air play a more significant role in my opinion.
@@SporenSprout 🙏🏻
great video!!!!!!
Thanks for watching! 🍄
wow!! thanks so much!
finally someone laying it out step by step! quick question - what if i don't have a bag vacuum sealer? (after i mix in the grain to the substrate bag)
Thanks for watching! It’s not a vacuum sealer, it’s an impulse sealer. I have seen people just use a zip tie or rubber band to close the top. You can try that and if you have problems just buy an impulse sealer. Good luck! 🍄
excellent
I’ve watched several of your great videos. You’ve used wheat bran a few times, how do you rate it over masters mix?
I saw your video and became inspired! Got my Rye berries yesterday along with my pressure cooker humidity monitor etc and today the lovely golden eggs i will be injecting into my grains. Thank you so much for the video! I do have a question. Have you tried other hardwood pellets besides oak? I seem to have purchased hardwood pellets that have a more flavorful variety of hardwoods and no oak. 😅
Yes other hard woods work as well. You should be good to go! 🍄
I have trigeminal neuralgia and have been pain-free and drug-free for over 2 years. I've taken taurine, lion's mane (from real mushrooms), and Super B complex.
Thanks!
I would love to know what type/brand of hardwood pellets you used! Very helpful and awesome video 🤘🤘
Oak hardwood I got from tractor supply. Thanks for watching!
Your syringes are coming in clutch!! My king oyster and pink oyster substrate is colonizing and will soon fruit. I just inoculated my lions mane substrate with the grain spawn and now I have reishi, blue oyster, and black pearl colonizing in spawn as well as your liquid culture mixture. Would you recommend coco coir vermiculite gyspsum as a good substrate for lions mane?
I appreciate your support! That is awesome to hear! I have not personally used coco coir to grow Lionsmane but I have no reason to believe that it won’t work well!
Thank you so much.
I wish there was somewhere nearby I could buy it. But since there isn't, I guess I have to grow it. Thanks for the tutorial!
You can as well go for the grain spawn. A good recommendation would be Johnnycology store
It's on Instagram
Dziękuję za poświęconą pracę . Pozdrawiam serdecznie :)
THANK YOU
You can make your own bags very cheaply aswell.
Also triple fold and paperclip works fine vs sealing.
was looking for this! don't have a sealer.
I love your videos. Could UV work as a sterilization process instead of the pressure cooker? Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately UV light will not work for sterilizing substrate, grain , or liquid culture. It’s only really good for sterilizing your humidity reservoir .
Very interesting and so helpful thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Hi! I'm in Canada and I have found a place to buy spawn. Could I move the Lion's Mane spawn to a 5 gallon bucket or should I just keep it in the spawn bag and let it grow out of there. I have been buying mushroom powder for awhile but it is getting too expensive. I would love to get into it in a bigger way once I get a little experience. By the way I love your channel. I am going to be devouring all your content in the next while! Thank-you!
Thanks for the support! If you are receiving colonized grain spawn then yes you can layer it in a bucket with pasteurized substrate, like this video I made:
th-cam.com/video/iiGj5ZlS024/w-d-xo.html
Good luck!
Love the video! I’m getting started as foraging in my area is hard and I’m having no such luck! I have a few questions I hope you’ll have time to answer !! So you are wiping the bags down before you do anything is it alcohol your using ? Also are you using a grow light or do they not need that? Do they just sit on a shelf in a room or do they have to be in dark? Thanks so much!
Yes I wipe everything down in isopropyl alcohol before working. I use a simple under-cabinet LED strip or waterproof LED rope during fruiting. Yes they just sit on a shelf in a warm room during colonization.
great vid - well done. clearly youve got this tek totally dialled in , your results speak for themselves but whats the reason you sterilize for 2.5 hrs when nearly every other cultivator and author that ive read recommend 1.5hrs... I ask because while I can usually grow other types of fungi successfully , my last two attempts with LM have both trich'd out on me (bucket tek and bag method). im being as aseptic as I can and using a laminar flow hood so your vid has me wondering if the longer pressure time might be the answer.
Great video! You made everything straightforward and accessible. My only question is, how long does it take for the actual mushrooms to grow, and what do you mean by "pinning"? Anyway, thanks for the video!
Once the substrate is colonized, it only takes 7-14 days to grow fully. Pinning means the initial stages of fruiting.
@@SporenSprout Thank you!
@@DmitriKoslov1 No problem! Thanks for watching and good luck! 🍄
Is there a way to eliminate the cost of the grow bags?
Like inoculating the grains in mason jars and growing in buckets with holes or something? or would that not work out so well?
Yes you can grow from jars and buckets.
Thanks for this beautiful work craft. I really appreciated. My concern is to cut growing time, can we actually prepare substrate bag and grain bag all in one bag? And inoculated into this bag? Basically one bag all in? Because transferring from grain spawn to substrate bag might cause the contamination? I don't have glow box either laminar flow hood.
No I would not do that but hey you do you
Excellent video brother. Going to save this one for sure. I've been having a problem with my pressure cooker melting holes in my spawn bags! Also, the substrate bags seem to take like 6 weeks plus to colonize! Maybe I did not use enough spawn??
Thanks for watching! If your bags start melting holes it is most likely from the pressure cooker being too hot and not having enough water in the bottom. You can also try lining the sides with aluminum foil, that seemed to help in the presto 23 quart I used to have. It is not good for substrate to take that long, you should definitely add more spawn (I use a 3LB spawn bag for 4 5 LB substrate blocks) and make sure you shake the crap out of it to evenly distribute every grain, it is very important that the grains reach the bottom of the bag to ensure quicker colonization. Also, lions mane mycelium is much thinner than other species so it is often fully colonized before looking so. Good luck!
@@SporenSprout Thanks so much. Great help!
@@SporenSprout Awesome! Lined the pressure cooker with aluminum foil and added more water - perfect bags now! Thanks dude.
@@tomanderson848 I’m really glad to hear that! 😃 Good luck my friend!
Thanks so much for this. All killa no filla.
Thanks for watching!
Most excellent.
OMG -so much work ! 😅
Try this instead! th-cam.com/video/iJK6_PQPxTQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=exitqIFCr-wxqvAY
I love how nature is like give me something dead and ill make it happens. meanwhile humans gotta cook seal pressure steam inoculate then we make magic............#lol. love the videos and I think I'll give these shrooms a try. looks promising.
❤ the tattoo! I think I recognize that chemical 😊. Do you keep them in the dark the whole time? And what temperature do they like. I bought my spore syringe from your site but a premade wood loving mushroom grow bag from another. Your syringe far out performed the other.
The substrate doesn’t need full darkness while colonizing but either way it doesn’t hurt it, and darkness may help prevent premature pinning. As with most mushrooms I grow I keep temps around 68-70 F.
Great video! How do you like the All-American 41.5 Quart Electric Sterilizer?
Thanks for watching! I love the electric sterilizer because you can hook it up to a timer and once it hits 15 psi you can set it and forget it. It also holds a large amount of any material. It may require recalibration which I have had to do a couple of times and will probably post a video on how to calibrate it in the future but here is a video I made running it.
th-cam.com/video/7fGriajJcJ0/w-d-xo.html
I'm impressed with that pressure cooker 11 minutes in.
I love it, here’s a video using it!
th-cam.com/video/7fGriajJcJ0/w-d-xo.html
@@SporenSprout I suppose it is an autoclave at that point and not a pressure cooker 🙂
What do you suppose the dangers are in skipping the pressure cooker parts? I do not own one.
Great vid I'm in the UK do I need to use a tent or could I place the bag in a cupboard with maybe a fan for air flow and keep temps to 70 - 75 not sure about humidity or could I just place the bag inside a modified monotub ? Many thanks
I recommend making one of these th-cam.com/video/59bAiZATiOs/w-d-xo.html
Oh my gosh! I just heard about mushroom grow bags today for the very first time. I don’t have the financial resources nor the confidence to do what you showed, but you did an AMAZING job demonstrating!!!
When those mushrooms grow, can you dehydrate them and then powder them? If so do you know what temperature and how many hours? I have the opportunity to buy some mushrooms that have grown so I want to see if I can dehydrate them and then powder them.
Thank you very much for your video!!! 🙏
Thanks for watching! 🙏 Yes you can use a standard food dehydrator on the lowest heat setting and it usually takes around 18-24 hours to be completely dry depending on how full you pack the dehydrator.
@@SporenSprout Thank you VERY much!!! 💕🙏❤️
Great video. What happens if you just inject the liquid culture into the substrate?
You would have to use a whole syringe at least and you will be missing out on the nutrients provided by the grain, potentially reducing yield.
Great video, thank you! why is it necessary to move the colonized mycelium from the spawn bag to another - substrate bag? would the mushroom not grow in the first bag?
They will grow from the first bag if you really want them to except they will be skinny, tiny and few in number. The second bag adds proper amount of moisture, nutrition and mass for a large yield of commercial quality mushrooms.
@@SporenSprout Amazing, thanks for the super fast response, I am new to this and was only able to grow from kit so far, but would like to try spawning from spores of fruiting mushrooms, so this is helpful, any suggestion on easy step by step guide?
Super Simple
Great video!! Love the step by step. Question: why do you line the pressure cooker with aluminum foil when sterilizing the grain? And then I noticed you put water in the cooker when you sterilized the substrate? Beginner here.. just wondering if I should set it up the same way and why. Thanks!
A pressure cooker should have 2-3 inches of water at the bottom. Use some kind of rack insert to elevate the material above the water. The foil on the sides I found helped prevent bags from burning by touching the sides when packed full. So I kind of just kept it as a liner. I have an all American electric sterilizer now that I do not have any problems with the bags touching the sides 🤷🏻♂️
@@SporenSprout thank you for the reply!! I just ordered some of your lions mane syringes from your website! Can’t wait to grow lions mane for the first time 😊🍄✌🏼
@@rd1659 Thanks for the support 🙏 Good luck!
In response to this same question about why are you lining the pressure cooker with foil, I noticed that you are already using an all American in the video. However, the link in your details does not lead to an all American pressure cooker, but it is a different one. Why is that? Which one are you actually recommending? it looks like you used two different pressure cookers in this video.
Excellent video. I'm growing Lion's Mane from your store. I know this video is a year old, and those grow bags are long gone, but I'm wondering why for many of the bags, you didn't press the air out and fold the bag over. Just curious, that's all.
Great video, i am planning on using my instapot but what temperature do i set it to for cooking the grains and substrate
Thanks in advance
15 psi 1.5 hours
Love your video. Are there recommended plastic bags you use. would you tell me where to get them?
I use unicorn bags that are 5” X 8” X “20” but they make you buy 1000 at a time. You can find the same kind of bags on Amazon if you type in “mushroom grow bags”.
Thankyou very much.
Thanks bud.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! What is the advantage of spawning the substrate from grain spawn as opposed to inoculating the substrate from spawn syringe?
The grain adds nutrition, and provides many inoculation points as a carrier for the mycelium. The mycelium can have a hard time colonizing fast without grain. It is possible to do but will result in smaller fruit bodies and yield.
Appreciate this 🙏.
Does this get any water spray while growing outside the bag?
Im looking to grow this although also wanting to try Indian ghost pipe
It doesn’t need misting if it’s in a humidified grow tent. If you don’t have a tent you can mist around it. Don’t mist directly on the fruiting body.
Hey great video , can you share with us the ideal temperatures for spawn grow and for fruiting ? thank :)
For spawning 75-78 F. Try to keep temps low 70-75 F for fruiting.
@@SporenSprout Thank you🙏!
Thank you for your presentation. I have a question about the last part of video. After mixed the spawn in with the substrate and sealed with impulse sealer, when I incubate the around 2 weeks, when I incubate, do I put it in a dark warm place, too?
It doesn’t matter if it’s dark or not while colonizing. But yes a warm room around 78 F is perfect.
@@SporenSprout Thank you for your response. God Bless you.
Thanks for this. Very informative. One question: What were you using for sterilizer? Would the type of hand sterilizer we are all too familiar with since Covid work?
I use 99% isopropyl alcohol to sterilize my hands and work space.
@@SporenSprout What is the shelf life of your liquid? I've been thinking about this for years. Someone gave me a starter block (Lion's Mane) for Christmas. It was getting so packed in the bag I just cut the side out to give it some room. Working better now, and I wasn't misting them enough. I will def. be buying probably every variety of inoculates you have. This would be a great business adventure in my neck of the woods. Pretty sure I could get substantial Government funding as well. It's food, and it's green (coffee grounds as an example) and employment. Checks all the boxes. I have a lot to learn. Want to move to Nova Scotia? Lol.
@@ExploreShelburne my liquid culture syringes are good for 6 months at room temp or longer than 12 months in refrigeration.
You are right about it being super sustainable and a great business venture! Nova Scotia sounds amazing! Lol
What is the ideal time for lions mane to be harvested after mixing the spawn with the substrate & incubating? Also, how many uses / how long do you get out of each bag before discarding? Thank you, love your video!
After adding spawn to substrate it will take about 1 month until fruiting and then 7-14 days till first harvest. It will grow back a few more times over the course of 1-2 months and eventually run out of moisture and energy.
Yes this video was very helpful. Can I use brown rice for the spawn instead of rye berries?
Yes if you have experience making rice spawn go for it.
@@SporenSprout thank you 👍
Great video. How long does the liquid culture last if contained properly?
At least 6 months. Over 12 months if refrigerated
Is there any storage advice for the humidity and temperature when it’s growing outside the bag ?
Also, is there any health risk if the process is not followed to the dot ?
Humidity controller set at 85% humidity and exhaust fan set to run for 5 minutes every hour and an in-line fan to bring fresh air in every hour as well. 70 F temp is good. Don’t want to breath in spores so that’s why you have to exhaust the tent outside a window. Wear a mask if you enter the tent while it’s dropping spores.
Thank you for this video! what's you grow tent parameters ? like humidity and co2 level for lion's mane
I use one intake fan bringing in fresh air at the top of the grow tent every hour, one exhaust fan running at the bottom of the tent every hour. Humidity is set to turn on at 75% and turn off at 85%.
@@SporenSprout thx man
Hey man! Saying I've got a pressure cooker, and a good vacuum sealer, what would be a good amount of money to set aside to get the set up for growing, bags, substrate, etc
You don’t want a vacuum sealer. You want a impulse sealer. A good amount of money would be around $500 to spend on fruiting equipment
So many questions. List of all the tools... hood, pressure cooker, ect.
that pressure cooker is intense haha 11:00
After the mushroom pops out, How do you keep it alive? For how long does it live? What is a good size to harvest it?
Thanks for you content!!!
Keep it in a grow tent with 80% humidity and open the tent few times per day to air it out. It grows for around 7-14 days. The size in this video is good time to harvest.
I'd like to see the harvesting technique and storage.
Just pick the mushrooms off and dehydrate them in a food dehydrator until they are dry.
Nice! Size of spawn and bulk bags?
Spawn bag - [50 Pack] Mushroom Growing Bags... www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q8VZ8X6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Substrate bag - www.etsy.com/listing/1059374657
two questions: 1) in your video it looks like the RTV stuff dries in seconds. the stuff I bought (JB) is still super gooey after an hour and the package says I have to let it sit for 24 hours to fully cure. Do you have a quick dry version, or do you let yours sit for a day before you poke it? 2) I when i'm sterilizing my spawn, i seem to get a lot of condensation and moisture inside the bag. Is that normal / ok? I know it's not good to have too much moisture in there. thanks for any help here.
Yeah I let the RTV dry for hours before pressure cooking. Pressure cooking also speeds up drying. Keep shaking the grain bag everyday to distribute the moisture until it is even and then inoculate the grain.
Glad I found this video. It seems like lions mane can grow on wood pellets and wheat bran, because it is to find soybean pellets in me aria. What kind of mushrooms you also can grow that kind of substrate? Thanks
Thanks for watching! The same substrate works well with chestnut, oysters, shiitake, and most other species besides species that require composted substrate.
@@SporenSprout You made my day. I almost gave up on that. I failed on the first try , and was thinking because of the substrate, but it seems it was other stuff.
I actually bought from you 5 syringes of liquid culture last month , thanks for the good service and affordable price. It is not easy to pay $50 for syringe for hobby growers.
Quick question, can I grow same kind of mushrooms on the soft wood pellets and wheat bran?
@@Artem-rh4yz They will not grow well on soft wood. If you do everything exactly like in this video, you have the best chance of success. You should inoculate a master liquid culture to expand one syringe into many syringes worth of mycelium, this way you can have many attempts.
@@SporenSprout thanks for the advice, this is what I am going to do. Still have culture left in syringes , will try to expend them. Do you have a video of the liquid culture recipe you using? Thanks
@@Artem-rh4yz check out this video next th-cam.com/video/FZPObmBQ3Ko/w-d-xo.html
Use 1 Tablespoon of honey per 600 ml of water in a quart jar or half tablespoon of honey if using a pint jar.
So once I’ve grown it then how do I take a spore sample? Or should I just take a live culture sample and make a liquid culture syringe?
You should cut a piece from the sterile middle of the flesh and put it on agar. You can also put a piece of tinfoil under the fruiting body and the spores will deposit on the tinfoil.
I just inject (marking where I'm going to inject with a sharpie beforehand) and then cover the hole with a drop of hot glue that I've already heated up. It's way stronger than silicone and because it's super hot it sticks to the bag.
You are right! Super glue will definitely stick better than silicone
