- How long until I harvest?
- Pins usually appear one to two weeks after you open and mist the block. Full lion's mane clusters are typically ready two to three weeks after that, depending on room temperature and humidity.
- How many harvests will I get?
- Expect two to three flushes from a block this size. The first is the largest; later flushes are smaller but still edible.
- Where should I put it?
- A spot with indirect light, steady room temperature and decent airflow. Kitchens and bathrooms work if humidity stays up; avoid direct sun and radiators.
- Do I need extra equipment?
- No. The kit includes the colonized block, instructions and the gear needed to start harvesting. A spray bottle for misting is the main thing to keep on hand.
- Is lion's mane good to eat?
- Yes. It has a firm, seafood-like texture that holds up to searing, soups and noodle dishes. The cognitive claims are based mostly on lab and early studies, so treat them as promising rather than proven.
- Can I keep it after it fruits?
- Once a block stops producing, it is spent. Compost it and start a fresh kit rather than trying to revive it.
