hi I'm a Taiwanese, I want share the way we cook lion mane with you. we usually make soup with it,first to cut it into cubes, fry it with sesame oil, than boil it with Wolfberry shrub,ginseng, or and traditional Chinese medicine,can add some salt if you like I don't know how to describe it simple ,but I think it's a healthy and delicious way to eat it,maybe you can find some English video about it,I highlyrecommend!!
I have been growing mushrooms in my kitchen, here is a free tip: you can grow easily Ostreatus on straw or hard wood pellets without going through sterilization process, which makes things much easier. However, following the same process, I had contaminations when trying to grow shiitaki and lion's mane (contamination appeared in 80% of my buckets, and 0% contamination when growing Ostreatus). Shiitaki and lion's mane revealed to be more sensitive and do require to sterilize the substrat.
Glad you liked it! All the best with your mushroom endeavours! Lion's Mane is an awesome mushroom to get started with, and very rewarding to eat when it's harvested :)
@@sciji3118 if it’s fresh, take a sterile sample from an interior area and drop it into some sterilized liquid culture, or try to inoculate agar plates.
Thanks Tony for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it very much. Because of your videos I found a local person growing lions mane and oyster. I bought 1.68 lb. She wasn't to helpful with answering my questions about growing it. Maybe she thought I would be competition. I fried some with Zatarain Fish fry. Also some catfish. It was pretty good. It sorta reminded me of fried oysters. But anyway I'm going to try and make a tincture out of the rest of it. I'm 67 and having problems with memory and brain fog so I hope by taking it every day will help. Thanks again for all you do.
I love your videos I recommend you to everyone... I started growing mushrooms a few months ago. And foraging for them about a year ago... You're very smart and knowledgeable and I look forward to all your videos. especially like the ones where you explain what each mushrooms benefits and medicinal properties are. Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing an awesome job!!
That intro was sick! And the perfect video for me right now since i just pretty much botched my first attempt of growing lion's mane due to contam (luckily I only used half of the delivered grain spawn).
Thank you for all of these tips! Planning to dehydrate mine and had no idea that I would need to do an extraction process like with hot drinks. Thank you!
I do the wicked kitchen double cast iron skillet press technique on high heat and I season with my own Mexican flavored rub, slice thin and use in tacos. Bomb.
Eh! Fellow Canadian. Just found your channel. Love it. Kind of stumbled on mushrooms as a new thing to cook and msn are these delicious!!! Very curious to grow a block for 2023.
Thank you!!! I am fairly new to all of this, only growing Pink and Blue Oyster so far. But I did get a heat resistant Lion's Mane liquid culture from a grab bag and I was wondering about it. I follow your channel and have bought both Cultivation Mushrooms and Growing Gourmet Medicinal Mushrooms as you've recommended. I really appreciate all of the info and the way you two break things down. Thank you all so much!!! Can't wait for the next video!!! ☺️
Thank you so much! My first two kits were lions mane and black pearl oysters. The oysters did not fruit. I do not know what I did wrong. But the lions mane ~ OMG. Best mushrooms ever! Multiple flushes!! Mind you, I have a bachelors degree in agriculture, have owned commercial greenhouses, and am currently a microgreens farmer ~ I’m pretty savvy.
I absolutely love this video and can't wait to grow lion's mane! Very informative video, detailed, and awesome content. I appreciate your videos.Thank you for your time and effort it really made my day.
Hello! So with the liquid culture technique I just have to buy it spay on the grain to grow the mushroom? And where could I buy already sterelized grain? Thank you, love your channel! Can't wait to start growing shrooms🍄
Great information, I enjoyed your videos! I love mushrooms, Tony, you have me think to grow so great mushrooms! Need to watch your videos with my husband also have him involved to grow them!👍🏻😂😀thank you!
Thanks Tony, awesome video! I’m trying to grow Lion’s Mane in pvc pipe with some holes drilled in it, (4”x24”), with hickory pellets as a substrate. Similar to bucket method but a little more compact.
Very helpful videos and certainly encouraging! I will start my first homegrown lion’s main today, very exited. Also using your mushroom coffee , I think yours is the best quality out of 3 I am trying. Many thanks for your teaching.
Hey, great video! I did not realize you were from Alberta!...I am from Saskatchewan and have just started my mycology journey...I just received many of my supplies in the mail today and also received three syringes of mushroom mycelium today...Pink Oyster, Lions Mane and Chestnut... excited to begin!
Thanks for the great video . Has anyone on here used a food dehydrator to dry this and then used a french coffee press to extract some of the beneficial compounds from this mushroom ?
Thank you very much for your information, very useful. May I ask why don't you make more cuts to get more fruit? Is there a specific reason that you only cut one or two?
Thank you. I will begin with the firsts steps to grow lion's mane mushroom, from a mycelium in agar received 2 days ago. Your instructions are very useful. Regards from Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
@@jesidillon4593 I did some tests on branches cut into short pieces and I already made three harvests. One of the buckets got contaminated, and another bore fruit. I have been taking lion's mane for a few days, and it seems to improve my ability to concentrate. I also tried to do it on wood sawdust, but since I do not yet have a suitable place for inoculation, they have also become contaminated. I recently purchased a HEPA filter and centrifugal fan to build the laminar flow cabinet, but I am still short of materials to assemble it.
Great video. However, I had a question on the fruiting blocks in this video. You mention the amounts of fuel pellets, bran and water per 5 lb bag but you don't mention how much spawn is added to each 5 lb bag. I would appreciate if you could supply that information.
Can you please do a video where you discuss ways of growing mushrooms that do not use plastic bags? I'm wanting to start growing as a side business, but other than growing via mushroom beds there aren't a whole lot of options. I am aware of the 5 gallon bucket method, but I am curious about other methods that create plastic waste after a block has stopped fruiting.
I'll refer you to this Specialist Who grows and sell the best strain of Psilocybin mushrooms, Dmt LSD chocolate Bar, and other psychedelics product as well.
Can you water pasteurize /sterilize instead of using pressure canner and then grow in buckets/ glass containers versus plastic bags? Great videos!! Thanks
Thank you so much words can not tell how much this video meant to me!!!! I'll br growing the mushrooms for my family for a healthier tomorrow :) Cheers bro~!
You can't overdose on mushrooms alone . You can definitely eat the wrong mushroom and get poisoning from that, but no one has ever died from psilocybin OD

Alright! I was very interested in this video considering I LOVE Lion’s Mane mushrooms and have been wanting to grow my own… and then, much to my surprise, I find out you are from Alberta as well!!! Exciting! Now I KNOW that this is very much a possibility! So happy I found your channel! And thank you for the well explained video on growing one of my favourites. Now, I’m going to have to start watching some of your other videos. 😊
When it comes to cloning, can i just buy the grain spawn, do a grow and throw a piece of fresh fruiting body on agar? Or could i use the spores like i've done with cubensis kits? I definitely want to get into gourmet mushrooms as well... not just as an alibi for my mycology "workshop" ^^
A few cool weather mushrooms, including pearl oyster and lion's mane, have heat-tolerant varieties out there for people who want to grow them in summer.
Thanks for the great videos! I finished my first Lion's Mane grow kit and now the substrate is going into its second fruiting stage. My question is, does anyone know why they start to turn brown? Thanks.
My question to, that’s what I originally started watching this video hoping that I could find out… It’s my first mushroom growing kit, and it just looks like they’re starting to turn tan before they even get out and really start growing, so I’m afraid I’m doing something wrong but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere… Maybe someone will see our question and have pity on us, and answer it… Lol !!!
This is so good! Thank you so much! I've just started growing mushrooms and my lion's mane is going so well. Do you guys have any videos about growing white button mushrooms from start to finish?
the video would say don't waste your time to be honest.. the time and effort you put into that will never be worth it, since they're grown commercially on a vast scale, which is why tehy're so cheap. But a manure substrate is pretty much all you need to do differently
The LoFi Kid: That’s a completely different type of mushroom, as it grows on compost of things like manure. There are good videos here somewhere about that, and you can get kits, too.
Alberta Boy! Awesome. Appreciate the info, just learning about these mushrooms and going to start trying to grow them in Edmonton Alberta for personal consumption. Im getting older and looking for the memory benefits
Hey i'm very curious how many mushrooms do you grow in your house? I would like to see a hometour where you show all of your mushrooms i think it could be fun!
Hey Tony, thanks for the great into video. Two Questions: 1. How do you know when it's time to harvest? 2. Is spore printing different in any way with Lions Mane? Thanks for your help!
For anyone wondering where to buy liquid culture and everything else you'll need to grow LM mushrooms and or any other mushrooms including the magic ones. North spore ships 3-5 day's. And really reliable qith great customer service. YW in advance

This video makes mushroom cultivation feel so much more accessible. I appreciate all the information he gave, too, because it answered a lot of my questions in the process.💜
The amount of plastic waste in mushroom cultivation is insane! Is there any strategies that help reduced reliance on it, or do you just lose competitively with those willing to use shit loads of single use plastics in production?
@@RealIsaiahSwift thanks. I’m trying to keep 90% humidity but I guess water is getting in it somewhere. Makes you wonder how people harvest it in nature huh? Get it before it rains!
Wow so much good info. Instant sub. I need to rewatch this video a few times. This will be my first time growing mushrooms and I have lots to learn. Especially for starting the culture and how to cultivate it.
This past Tuesday (9/28) was 7 days of mine fruiting. I have one growing the size of a small white button mushroom. I'm hoping it will grow much larger. 20 degrees C in 90% humidity. Thought it would be bigger but I still have plenty of mycelium to try again if this one stays relatively small. First time growing any kind of mushroom
Great job with this video. Impressed by your ability to convey information by speaking clearly and quickly. I normally have to speed up videos like this. It's also nice having all the example photos and videos. Do you ever re-use spent mycelium from a grow bag/bucket? Maybe in something like an outdoor garden bed. It's not clear to me yet from research if the mycelium itself gets old or if it's just out of food after a few flushes and would otherwise be good to start the process anew.
Obviously your lions mane, or caffeine is kicking in. 😊. If you can slow your speaking pace a little it would help viewers comprehension level. I've come to believe that if someone is familiar with a topic then learning at a fast pace is easy. If unfamiliar, then a slower pace works better for some as it allows one to think through the material. Please try a little slower pace? 👍👍
I want to grow my own lions mane (amongst many reasons) to save money rather than buying capsules, which usually have about 15 grams per purchase. Do these self growing fruiting lions manes weigh more? What is a pretty regular amount you end up harvesting? And thanks for making this video! So incredibly interesting. I hope to harvest a ton of these and make them for my grandparents to help treat some of their dementia.
Thank you Tony. I've watched this video several times and I think I am ready to try to grow Lion's Mane mushrooms. We have a local supplier of blocks here so I'm going to do it the 'easy way'. 😉
I'm really enjoying your channel and all the information you provide. I'd like to give this a try. Are there any good starter kits you could recommend in the southern Ontario area. Thanks so much
Hi Thank you for sharing the knowledge but please would be able to clarify, when you put plastic bag into the pressure cooker for two and half hour to sterilise how much water you need to put into the pressure cooker? How long do you need on the stove? Or just dip the bag into boiled water and leave in the pressure cooker? You help in this mater is greatly appreciated. Thank you. 👍❤️
Hey there really appreciate the valuable information. Can you dive deeper into the importance of the extraction process of dehydrated mushroom powder you mentioned in the video? Is this something that relates to digestibility of the raw powder in capsule form? Thank you
As far as cooking lion's mane: I've found that trying to slice it up, cooking it in oil, and then adding it to a Swiss melt or French dip is absolutely delicious
The natural evolution of the shroom grower is that he eventually does unironically want to grow gourmet mushrooms
Too true!

The amount of plastic waste in mushroom cultivation is insane! Is there any strategies that help reduced reliance on it, or do you just lose competitively with those willing to use shit loads of single use plastics in production?
Fascinating information. Subscribed!
Every time I try to grow Lions Mane, it turns yellow or a “burned” looking color. Too much humidity? Or Not enough?
Caused by direct water contact with the fruiting body. U want humidity but not directly to touch
@@RealIsaiahSwift thanks. I’m trying to keep 90% humidity but I guess water is getting in it somewhere. Makes you wonder how people harvest it in nature huh? Get it before it rains!
It caused by too much fresh air
Spotted the Steven Brown artwork. All the way from here....Ayrshire in Scotland. Nice
I like the new intro.
FYI comment section: Lion's mane is incompatible in the grow room with Oyster species.
I'd really like to know more about this if you can elaborate?
I have also grown them together with Grey and pink oyster with no problem
@@mraBJJ33 The Lion's mane spores will attack the oyster caps and deform them/create knobs on top.
Wow so much good info. Instant sub. I need to rewatch this video a few times. This will be my first time growing mushrooms and I have lots to learn. Especially for starting the culture and how to cultivate it.
Don’t fret if you don’t succeed the first time. We don’t all have the same microclimate as Tony. Keep it humid and cool. Enjoy the wins.
This past Tuesday (9/28) was 7 days of mine fruiting. I have one growing the size of a small white button mushroom. I'm hoping it will grow much larger. 20 degrees C in 90% humidity. Thought it would be bigger but I still have plenty of mycelium to try again if this one stays relatively small. First time growing any kind of mushroom
Great job with this video. Impressed by your ability to convey information by speaking clearly and quickly. I normally have to speed up videos like this. It's also nice having all the example photos and videos. Do you ever re-use spent mycelium from a grow bag/bucket? Maybe in something like an outdoor garden bed. It's not clear to me yet from research if the mycelium itself gets old or if it's just out of food after a few flushes and would otherwise be good to start the process anew.
Obviously your lions mane, or caffeine is kicking in. 😊. If you can slow your speaking pace a little it would help viewers comprehension level. I've come to believe that if someone is familiar with a topic then learning at a fast pace is easy. If unfamiliar, then a slower pace works better for some as it allows one to think through the material. Please try a little slower pace? 👍👍
thanks for the feedback! I do get excited when talking about mushrooms lol
I agree he is going away too fast
Why dont you use the playback speed feature. You can watch at .75 speed
I want to grow my own lions mane (amongst many reasons) to save money rather than buying capsules, which usually have about 15 grams per purchase. Do these self growing fruiting lions manes weigh more? What is a pretty regular amount you end up harvesting?
And thanks for making this video! So incredibly interesting. I hope to harvest a ton of these and make them for my grandparents to help treat some of their dementia.
How convenient that you posted this, i got some lion spores on agar now. The mycelium completely threw me off lol
Another great video man, thanks
Thank you Tony. I've watched this video several times and I think I am ready to try to grow Lion's Mane mushrooms. We have a local supplier of blocks here so I'm going to do it the 'easy way'. 😉
I'm really enjoying your channel and all the information you provide. I'd like to give this a try. Are there any good starter kits you could recommend in the southern Ontario area. Thanks so much
This sounds amazing and I would really like to give it a try. But It Sounds like you have to be a scientist to do this.
Wealth of info amd straight to the point. Thank you.
You are totally awesome, they look so good!!
Whoa! Much to fast download for this southern girl! Great info!
great vid thank you from France
Hi
Thank you for sharing the knowledge but please would be able to clarify, when you put plastic bag into the pressure cooker for two and half hour to sterilise how much water you need to put into the pressure cooker? How long do you need on the stove? Or just dip the bag into boiled water and leave in the pressure cooker? You help in this mater is greatly appreciated. Thank you. 👍❤️
Hey there really appreciate the valuable information. Can you dive deeper into the importance of the extraction process of dehydrated mushroom powder you mentioned in the video? Is this something that relates to digestibility of the raw powder in capsule form? Thank you
Thanks from Lethbridge Alberta
As far as cooking lion's mane: I've found that trying to slice it up, cooking it in oil, and then adding it to a Swiss melt or French dip is absolutely delicious
Another informative video. And great picture of a highland cow in the background.
At 6:32 he says they like 90-90 percent humidity but this is an awsome vid and needs it because I am struggling with my lm.
