Lion's Mane Grow Block

Grow blocks are marked "Sold Out" when they are out of season or when we currently have none to spare as we only sell our excess blocks. Please contact us if you'd like to know when a particular species is available.

We use these blocks to grow all the mushrooms on our farm. They are much larger than most other grow kits, weighing over 5kg for huge commercial yields. We blend our all-natural substrates using W.A. Eucalyptus sawdust, local grains and rain water.

They simply require light misting with a spray bottle of water twice per day for giant harvests.

For the best results, you can add a $3 humidity bag to your purchase.

We can post our extra large grow blocks Australia-wide. We cover some of the postage costs ourselves to make it an affordable option. For regular parcel post within Western Australia, there is a $15 fee per block. For postage Australia-wide outside of W.A. there is a $25 fee per block.

2 pages of detailed printed instructions are included with your grow block to guide you through every step of the process. You can read part of the instructions below which explains the basics and where to fruit your block.

Lion’s Mane is easy to fruit at home and simply requires consistent misting twice per day to get amazing results.. We cultivate a resilient strain which can thrive in a wide range of temperatures, ideally between 10-25°C. If you cannot open your block right away, put it in the fridge where it can stay for up to 3 months.

We use these blocks to grow all the mushrooms on our farm. They contain over 5kg of our all-natural substrate made with W.A. Eucalyptus, local grains (soy-free, lupin-free) and rain water.

❖ Lion’s Mane mushrooms need at least a little bit of light to grow properly. Ambient natural light or any household light such as LEDs work fine. Direct sunlight will dry the block out.

❖ The best location is usually a bathroom used for showers since this keeps your block humid and can also make it easier to remember to spray twice per day. A bathroom floor or vanity works great.

❖ It's best to keep them away from rooms with air-conditioning or heating systems which decrease the relative humidity and can dry out your mushrooms.

❖ Lion’s Mane can be especially vulnerable to drying out in hot weather and when this happens, it will begin to yellow. If your mushrooms dry out and stop growing, you need to remove them completely and then your block will try again if you keep it humid.

❖ While it is possible to fruit them outside in certain conditions such as a greenhouse, you will usually run into problems with fruit flies etc.
