Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the Box
- Open the top of the box and remove the spray bottle.
- Use the sticker inside the box to reseal the top.
- Next, punch open the perforated area on the front of the box.
- Carefully cut the grow bag from top to bottom on the left and right sides, then make a horizontal cut across to create an “H” shape.
Step 2 — Mist Daily
2–3 times a day, gently mist around the cut area (4–5 sprays is perfect).
You’re not watering a plant — the goal is to keep the area humid so the mushrooms can thrive.
Avoid soaking the block directly.
Step 3 — Harvest Your Lion’s Mane
When the mushroom stops growing and reaches a nice size, it’s ready to harvest.
Grab it firmly at the base and twist it off.
You can dehydrate it to make a supplement or cook it fresh in your favourite dish.
Step 4 — Second Flush (Optional)
To encourage a second flush:
- Pour water through the hole in the bag to fill it overnight.
- Drain out the water the next day.
- Turn the block around so the hole faces the back of the box.
- Cut a new “H” shape in the bag like in Step 1.
- Follow Step 2 and keep misting — with a bit of luck, you’ll get another harvest!
