I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with cptsd, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.
Saw people talking about..checked him out, I must say he's good at what he does. My son is clean 1 year now. Good luck. just micro dose and you won't trip. Mushrooms helped my son get off opioid.
I grow my lion’s mane with only a pseudo pasteurisation: 1200g of dry substrate (hard wood pellets with ~20% alfalfa pellets as supplementation + tea spoon of gypsum) + 1700ml of boiling water directly in the unicorn filter bag. Seal and leave it to pasteurize under a blanket for about 1h30. Let cool down and inoculate with about 300g grain spawn using a large funnel and a slit made in the bag to pour the grain into the bag. Seal the slit with tape-no sterile airflow needed. Works great. No real contamination issues. Good yields!
@@themyceliumnetwork it’s call pseudo pasteurization because you don’t maintain your substrate in boiling water for the whole time of the process, so the temperature remains lower than the classic pasteurization technique. Nonetheless it is efficient and rarely lead to contamination, with fast colonization species such as Lion’s mane, but also slower ones. I use this technique for all species I grow so far. One would think the hotter the pasteurization process the better in terms of repelling contamination, yet it’s more complicated than that. If you kill nearly all the germs with an advanced pasteurization or a sterilization, you will create a void of life in your substrate that is very attractive to any remaining contaminant, so if you’re not extra sterile in your technique to add the mycelium, you will get contamination. With lower pasteurization, you preserve certain micro organisms in your substrate that are not problematic in terms of contamination when you introduce the mycelium. There will be some balance between these microorganisms and your mycelium which will protect your substrate from the real bad guys. That’s about it.
I tried the same method with strawpellets and alfalfa for oysters, hardwoodpellets and alfalfa for enoki, pioppino and shiitake. Oysters no contamination problems, shiitake 2 Bags out of 45 in Icubation tthat had mold. I do prepare the substrate in a bigger bin first, let it cool overnight and fill and inoculate the bags the next morning. Just a mask, and gloves, no sterile air flow. Works for me. Greetings from Austria. P.S. I currently experiment with organic fertilizer pellets made from harvest waste products as a supplementation instead of the alfalfa pellets, let's see how this works out. No contamination in the first 30 bags, curious to find out the yield in the next weeks. 😁
I bought some growing kits, spore prints, lion’s mane spawns, liquid culture and psychedelic products from an online supplier and they are affordable and discreetly delivered
Great video with lots of good tips. I tried several ways to grow Lion's mane in a non standard way, with a great rate of failure. I also sterilise my substrate and grains in a baby bottle steriliser in the microwave with a very high success rate. Best thing is, only takes 30 mins. This of course is only for home use.
I recently started with mushrooms, starting with lion's mane. Fell in love with it immediately, despite an early failure (or disappointing success as it did produce a tiny result). Already ordered LC and equipment. Though it is bold as a novice to experiment, I am going to grow out spawn on grain, then try to grow lion's mane on oak and bamboo... Using a bucket method, though I am questioning that choice from some of the videos I've seen. Still, I'll give it go and see how well it works.. Thanks for the video, I've saved it as a guide as I start my own process...
I started growing mushrooms day 1 from LC and enjoyed the process. I've done the bucket thing on sterilized straw for oysters, I found the yields were less than grow bags with HWSD but it does work.
@@stormagorist6129 don't take my experience as gospel by any means. I didn't have my environmental factors tuned in at that stage in my experimenting. I did however decide that either way straw was too much of a mess. It very well may produce much more than bags
@@Spe3D3m0n I appreciate knowing what others have been through and done regardless. I don't have access to straw so I am using what I have on property. Experiments start this weekend so I should know in a few months whether this will work or not.. Might have to get bags and some pellets just to try that way also, but that is much more expensive so I'd prefer to use the oak and bamboo..
I just learned so much and idk anything at all about mushroom growing. So this is very good. Might try now. I need my own herb cabinet. I’m creating something beautiful here soon.
Thanks guys. Bought a kit of LM and it's growing beautifully. I had so many questions and you have covered nearly all. Great video. Nothing like an excited Australian. :)
I’ve been successfully inoculating my own lions mane by pasturing the substrate. I have found an affordable spawn supplier that allows me to do so. I use 3 cups spawn for a 12 pound block.
That rounds up at about the ~30% spawn rate mentioned in the video, interesting and adds even more certainty to this method if anyone wants or has to go non-sterile!
Just ordered a bag of mycelium in subtrate that I can harvest soon, and 300 mycelium plugs to put in some birch trunks that ill cut down this autumn! Cant wait for them to grow :D Thanks for the info
UA-cam has A LOT of garbage. Sometimes it's laborious weeding through it. In this case, they are AWESOME. This video was outstanding. I respect these guys.
Thank you I just bought my first colonized block and thought the same thing, that it hadn't spawned enough. I've grown several other species and they're always fully white before fruiting. This has been great info thanks. Few more months and I'll move on to doing my own from scratch using cloning from my kits.
mycelium is triggered to fruit(make mushrooms) when it runs low/out of food. Fruiting is it reproducing because it is sensing death soon. You can break up one batch of mycelium after harvest and spread it into a few more batches. A lot of growers do this. Some just cultivate cultures and store them so they can make what they want, when they want.
Mushrooms grow if they have nutrients. In other words, break up the block, mix it with new substrate, let it colonize, then keep building up. It's not hard to do if you know what you're doing. Keep in mind, that is exponential growth.
Wow that was very interesting! Only a couple days ago I had lions mane for lunch and it was delicious. Unfortunately, these mushrooms are too exotic to get, and the price of over 60€ per kg is just too much. Since I had another mushroom colony before I thought I would give it a try. This video gives me what I was looking for. Set up, temp, humidity, light and trouble shooting. Thank you!
Thank you so much guys for sharing your experience about all the awesome mushrooms’ world. Since I’ve watched “Fantastic Fungi” from Paul Stamets about one year ago I’ve been thrown in a new passion that I, unfortunately, must keep at domestic size. Last year I tried with lion’s mane, but I understood just now they got too much CO2 and low humidity. Nobody else like you explained this facts in such an understandable way with clear pictures. Thank you again ❤
Great video! When you say 'hydrate sawdust pellets to 60%' does that mean adding 300 g of water to 1 kg of pellets? Can I sterilise this (in bags) in my pressure cooker just to be on the safe side?
Awesome show sir I learned a lot I wanna grow them probably get one of those fruiting chambers are and I have my memory slipping a little bit due to Covid and I’m hoping this will help me a lot if not I enjoy the heck out of eating mushrooms all right thank you again sir
Our farmers market had lion’s mane mushrooms. I wanted to buy some to try a vegan dish. But, the mushrooms were more expensive than steak! I will try to grow my own.
Great informative video guy`s. I have my first Lions Mane growing at the moment. Just a suggestion but some links to any reputable and value for money uk suppliers would be a good idea, or do you produce your own substrate blocks?
We partner with a local grower who supplies our substrate block - he was one of our course members! Drop us a line at hello@grocycle.com if you're interested in getting hold of some...!
Hi - and a great question. With limited food supply in the block (the sawdust acts as the food for the mushroom), it's best to concentrate the growth in small sections - this ensures larger, well-formed fruit bodies. If you let it fruit all over, you would get much smaller growth which would be harder to harvest. Also, with Lion's Mane, the mycelium is quite wispy, and doesn't bind the substrate together as well as, say, Shiitake or Reishi - you would find that the block would disintegrate...! You can top fruit it, so cut open the top of the bag and roll down to expose the whole of the top of the block, it would grow fine, but you would likely have smaller, less defined fruit bodies. Hope that helps!
That would work well. Lion's Mane isn't as strong as say, Oyster Mushrooms, so you're more likely to get competing organisms/contamination, but a higher % spawn rate can help with this. LM grows best with sterilised substrate, but it obviously takes more equipment/time/input etc. but with a higher spawn rate it does work with LowTech methods - just ensure your production as as squeaky clean as can be!
We do three flushes per bag - once you've taken the fruit off, make sure you cut back to the substrate or you may get bacterial infection. You can then fruit from the same slit, or refold the bag and cut a new slit - just make sure it stays hydrated!
I've only grown consumer pre-colonized kits and gotten large but very low-density fruits. Hope giving them more controlled conditions will improve my results in the future! Are any of the parameters more relevant to density than others, or do they all need to be bang on to get a result that would pass for professional? How sensitive are LM (or others) to variable conditions? I think I've erred on the side of too much fresh air and/or inconsistent/low humidity.
No such thing as too much fresh air unless it's the air drying out the environment. If you're just fruiting a single bag now and again, you can address the humidity and fresh air issue by using a humidity tent, and by placing a jar of water with an air stone in it under the tent. Put the air pump outside of the tent.
I finished a couple of cycles growing from a "kit in a box" & it worked well. Question: Can I transfer some of the inner portion of the block, that has active mycelium, into sterile substrate in order to inoculate it? Thank you for sharing all of your professional information. Has there been any success in cultivating Chanterelle mushrooms? Cheers from Seattle!
Hi there, you can, but your working the mycelium hard and it will weaken a little for each time you do this, and you increase the risk of contamination too - but yes, it is possible, and worth you giving it a try...
I tried growing Lionsmane using flax seed husk and hardwood fuel pellets but think the liquid culture was a bit contaminated as only had one one lions mane and lots of what i can only describe as a lichen looking fruit from the same block and the lions mane only came out after I had to put the block into the freezer to kill off fungus nats that had found their way into the monotub
Lions mane grows wild in the woods behind my house. I have found so many different species of mushrooms I started making a book where I draw the pictures of different species. I found so many types of aminta! I even found a destroying angel, it's probably the most beautiful thing ❤
This may be addressed in another comment, but where did you get the growing cabinet. I have heard negative things about growing mushrooms indoors, but I live in an apartment so have no other options.
Hello! Thanks for watching... have a look here: firstbuild.com/inventions/mella/ They are an "investment", but we've found them to be very, very reliable, and watching mushrooms grow is definitely more fun that watching TV!!
I got your kit and started 3 weeks ago. Everywhere in the bag is white just not where the slit is. Also there is a little bit liquid at the bottom. Does it mean i messed it up or shall I wait?
Hi - sorry - we just do it on one side of the bag. For the second fruiting, you can tape up the original slits, refold the bag and cut new slits on the other side...
This may be a stupid question ( I haven't grown my own mushrooms so don't come for me). Couldn't you mix the leftover substrate from the older mushroom grow bags into the new substrate to colonize the next bag? With newly available nutrients, would the mycelium network continue to grow? Is it really necessary to use agar plates?
You can in theory - although it can weaken the mix, and can leave you open to introducing contaminants... if you do try it, and it's always worth experimenting, let us know how you get on!! :-)
Hi! Thanks for watching!! If they are proper mushroom cultivation bags (Unicorn Bags or similar) you'll be okay - just make sure it doesn't run dry or accidentally set far too high, or yes, they will melt, but if they settings are correct then you should have no problem!
I'm having extreme difficulty getting the fruiting body to grow more than a tiny amount per day. Fruiting begins no problem, but then it takes like a full month to grow into a size that's worth harvesting. Could this be temperature related? I live in FL and the AC is set at 72F nearly all the time. Humidity is set to fluctuate between 85%-90% CO2 fluctuates between 600-1000ppm
Strange one, your parameters seem about right. We recommend 59-75°F, 500-1000 PPM of CO2 and 85-90% RH. What light levels are you using? The only time we had smaller and slow growth was when our light levels were too low and had pools of darker areas in the fruiting room. We added more, and consistent light to the fruiting room and it helped so much. We use light levels of 500-1000 Lux... you can get decent light meter apps for smart phones now, so suggest you grab one of those and tale some readings all around your fruiting room. I think from memory we were at about 150-250 Lux originally, and now at about 750 and it's made all the difference! Good luck, and let us know how you get on!
i try to grow lions mane but i feel likek the growth is slowed down. when the spines will grow? It is almost a month and no sign of spine on mushrooms?

What do I do with the sub straight bag after 3 harvests. Do I just throw it out or can it be reused in someway
A very informative video. Thank you.
Would you reccomend pastuerisation with lime for the lions mane? for example with a coffee & straw substrate.
That would work well. Lion's Mane isn't as strong as say, Oyster Mushrooms, so you're more likely to get competing organisms/contamination, but a higher % spawn rate can help with this. LM grows best with sterilised substrate, but it obviously takes more equipment/time/input etc. but with a higher spawn rate it does work with LowTech methods - just ensure your production as as squeaky clean as can be!

Lions mane grows wild in the woods behind my house. I have found so many different species of mushrooms I started making a book where I draw the pictures of different species. I found so many types of aminta! I even found a destroying angel, it's probably the most beautiful thing ❤
@MyraHogan-wy4ov thank you;)
Is it possible to add LC right to the prepared sterile sawdust w/o using grain spawn?
@GeorgeBenson8 what do you mean, pharmstain?
This may be addressed in another comment, but where did you get the growing cabinet. I have heard negative things about growing mushrooms indoors, but I live in an apartment so have no other options.
Hello! Thanks for watching... have a look here: firstbuild.com/inventions/mella/
They are an "investment", but we've found them to be very, very reliable, and watching mushrooms grow is definitely more fun that watching TV!!
Well done, every thing we need to know, But i think i just buy them from shop.Thank you.
🙏🙏🙏
Wow, really inspiring! Great job, guys!
I just wish there was a way without so many wasteful plastic bags.
I got your kit and started 3 weeks ago. Everywhere in the bag is white just not where the slit is. Also there is a little bit liquid at the bottom. Does it mean i messed it up or shall I wait?
Can you grow lion's mane on a straw substrate? If you're in a country that has no access to local hardwood?
You should check out (Anthony_mycology), he delivers psychedelics and mushrooms
Are you able to propagate from given samples? I'm thinking some unique African Wild mushrooms
Do I just make 2 diagonal slits on one side or do I make 2 slits on 2 or 3 or 4 sides?
Hi - sorry - we just do it on one side of the bag. For the second fruiting, you can tape up the original slits, refold the bag and cut new slits on the other side...
This may be a stupid question ( I haven't grown my own mushrooms so don't come for me). Couldn't you mix the leftover substrate from the older mushroom grow bags into the new substrate to colonize the next bag? With newly available nutrients, would the mycelium network continue to grow? Is it really necessary to use agar plates?
You can in theory - although it can weaken the mix, and can leave you open to introducing contaminants... if you do try it, and it's always worth experimenting, let us know how you get on!! :-)
Well, I'm a bit confused, if you put the substrat into the presser cooker, wont the plastic bag melt?
Hi! Thanks for watching!! If they are proper mushroom cultivation bags (Unicorn Bags or similar) you'll be okay - just make sure it doesn't run dry or accidentally set far too high, or yes, they will melt, but if they settings are correct then you should have no problem!
Can you start these also by your cardboard method, I will be using coffee and wood pellets.
How would you go about using shavings and dust instead of pellets ?
@Morgan_Campbell-ib7kz I have shavings in abundance just wondering on ratios/weights with wheat bran etc ?
I'm having extreme difficulty getting the fruiting body to grow more than a tiny amount per day. Fruiting begins no problem, but then it takes like a full month to grow into a size that's worth harvesting. Could this be temperature related? I live in FL and the AC is set at 72F nearly all the time.
Humidity is set to fluctuate between 85%-90%
CO2 fluctuates between 600-1000ppm
Strange one, your parameters seem about right. We recommend 59-75°F, 500-1000 PPM of CO2 and 85-90% RH. What light levels are you using? The only time we had smaller and slow growth was when our light levels were too low and had pools of darker areas in the fruiting room. We added more, and consistent light to the fruiting room and it helped so much. We use light levels of 500-1000 Lux... you can get decent light meter apps for smart phones now, so suggest you grab one of those and tale some readings all around your fruiting room. I think from memory we were at about 150-250 Lux originally, and now at about 750 and it's made all the difference! Good luck, and let us know how you get on!
Can I use lime pasteurisation to grow lions mane mushrooms?
i try to grow lions mane but i feel likek the growth is slowed down. when the spines will grow? It is almost a month and no sign of spine on mushrooms?

Does anybody know the name of the FRUITING CHAMBER being seen here? And the cost it . Thanks
Do you recommend to sterilize the substrate for Lion's maine with Hydrated Lime ? Plz guide
This is a pasteurization method, and it doesn't work for lions mane, they dont like the high Ph in the substrate this tek brings
look how happy he is😂
cool, this is one of our company products, we cultured this also.
I just like how you can cook it as a meat substitute
i love mushrooms, I have never tried lions main mushrooms, I live growing things id never true otherwise!
I’d appreciate your comment
I bought some Lion’s mane shrooms from an online supplier
