Our Outdoor Log Growing Kits contain everything you need to grow mushrooms on logs, totems, or stumps! Each starter kit contains a drill bit, sealing wax, a wax applicator, a 100ct bag of plug spawn, and complete instruction guide. If you're gifting the kit or aren't ready to begin your project, you can select a “voucher” instead of plug spawn, which can be redeemed on site at a later date.

Difficulty: Intermediate 

Lion's Mane mushrooms, though slightly harder to get flushes, are still a great mushroom for confident beginners or those with some experience growing mushrooms. They colonize quickly and are relatively reliable producers.

Lion's Mane produces a pure white cluster of icicle-like teeth. When cooked, it has a consistency similar to crab meat.  We like to slice it into rounds and pan-fry it in olive oil or butter. You can also try ripping it up and making 'Lion's Mane Cakes' by following a crab cake recipe!

Note: Spawn is living and perishable.

Outdoor Log Growing Kits can be shipped either with mushroom spawn included (for projects that will begin within 3 months of the order date) or shipped with a voucher for receiving spawn at a later date (best for gifting or for projects beyond a 3 month start date). Plug spawn can live unrefrigerated for up to three months, though it is best to keep it refrigerated for long-term storage.
