I wish I were in Canada! Thanks for these instructions! I'm getting ready to start a grow of Lions Mane using your method!

Bro, where are the Lion's Mane mushroom spores and how to make a spore syringe

[@DonnHowes]

Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@Ronkaja]

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

[@SusanaGomez-mp8sk]

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@Mcdogmom288]

100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

[@VanRyan-bv7du]

How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta

[@ChristopherEric-fr8im]

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,

[@tumasdedaan2146]

When drilling into thin plastic, it's best to run the drill backwards. This avoids the plastic cracking and splitting on the drill's teeth, instead using friction heat to melt through where contact is made.

[@bryanleon7396]

I haven’t seen any videos on lions mane being grown in buckets, thank you for proving it can be done! 💪🍄

[@SilverFrogStudios]

I think you probably could grow anything in buckets at this inoculation ratio. It's basically taking a grow mix type ratio (40/60) and separating out it's high and low nutrient parts, and colonizing the high nutrient in sterile conditions, and then you don't need to bother with sanitation for the low nutrient part. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be too much of a yield penalty here. It would be interesting to see masters mix separated out this way, colonize the soy hulls under sterile tech, then dump it in a bucket of sawdust.

[@folkfungi]

No problem!

[@andyme275]

[@DinoScrivani]

Very cool! Great job with the video. Exactly what I was looking for!

[@DinoScrivani]

Also, do you recommend any particular pellets?

[@folkfungi]

I'm glad you found the video helpful! The key is to use hardwood pellets, not softwood ones. Typically, hardware stores will have cheap bags of hardwood pellets that are a blend of hardwood species, and then more expensive bags with particular types of hardwood species. In my experience, the cheap bags work just fine.

[@johnrinker2323]

Very nicely done! I really appreciate this guide and learning about the hardwood pellets. I've got some Lion's mane mycelium on agar at the moment and will look forward to transferring it to grain before I ultimately pair it with a Canadian Tire bucket! Thank you.

Awesome video...clear and actionable tips. Two questions - 1) do you measure the temperature/moisture under the bag or do you just wing it? 2) Can you do it in a room where you spend time/work...like is there a smell or excessive moisture that would be a problem? Thanks

[@davesbackyardchickensandou3905]

I do the oysters in buckets will try this soon for lions mane, and I just subbed also.

[@folkfungi]

Thanks for the sub! I love doing oysters in buckets too.

[@da4647]

Very interesting substrate, i noticed its very common to use hardwood fuel pellets and wheat bran mixed together, but this video proves hardwood fuel pellets can be used by itself as well. Going to try your way, but im going to add one cup of wheat bran just for more nutrients. Hopefully that does not mess up the moisture content. Thank you for the video!

[@folkfungi]

Let me know how it goes! Adding wheat bran without sterilization increases the chance for contamination. If your substrate becomes contaminated, try half a cup or less. But if you use a really high spawn rate, like the one used in this video, I think you can get away with using a decent amount of unsterilized wheat bran.

[@18Hands]

You can add something like gypsum safely, but since the wood pellets are mostly sterilized, any other nutrients you add will more than likely get moldy unless you sterilize the substrate mix.

[@budross1]

The best. Thanks.

[@novaenricarter705]

I make bags with a method that uses boiling water poured into the pellets. Take them all and put them in a box, cover them with a blanket for an hour and bam all pasteurized and ready to go. This way I can make 50 bags quickly and never have to touch a pressure cooker

[@LJay205]

I would also love to know how many times you can harvest before replacing everything.

[@mysterydata9640]

Until it stops giving or contaminates. Eventually will start running low on nutrients and keep putting out less and less until it's not worth it anymore.

[@anastasiawhite7482]

Great video. Very informative. Out of curiosity how many kg/pounds of lions mane can you grow from one 8 litre bucket using 1440 grams of lion’s mane spawn if ideal growing conditions are met. Thanks. Also have you tried to grow lion’s mane in an outside greenhouse ?

[@mikewaddington8061]

Hi. Great Video! Very nicely explained, and almost calming :) I have some lions mane LC in the fridge, and wondering if you think I could produce brf cakes to use as spawn? Or is it better to invest in a PC and sterilise some grain?

[@folkfungi]

Thank you! I personally don't have any experience with brf cakes.

[@gzee6820]

Edit - Found the answers to how many times you can harvest and reusing grain spawn: 1) ~2 - 5 harvests (each subsequent harvest/"flushes", less fruiting). 2) Sadly no you unfortunately can't add more pellets to keep it going :( Thanks again Spenser for all the videos, just subscribed! :)

[@elizabethhappiestwhengarde2938]

Really enjoyed your video. Very informative. I've caught the mushroom bug! 🍄 I bought oyster mushrooms, put the stem butts to colonize the mycelium in coffee grounds. They are now fruiting beautifully! After watching your video, I ordered some Lion's Mane LC from a family run business on Vancouver Island. Then I went out and bought my own 8 lt Canadian Tire bucket! Some questions though. What do you think of putting 4 - 1" holes around the bucket? Should I add drainage holes in the bottom? Once the pinning begins, can I put the bucket in the shot gun fruiting station I made? If so, what do you think is a good humidity level? Hope to hear from you!

[@folkfungi]

Hi Elizabeth. Thanks for the kind words! It makes me happy that you bought the exact same Canadian Tire bucket! I think four 1" holes would work great. And yup, a shotgun fruiting chamber would work nicely for this bucket. In terms of humidity, aim to keep it in the 80-90% range. Hope this is helpful!

[@ickarflyer5107]

holla :) excellent work and video. I have some questions? did you choose the size of the bucket by chance? Did you try with a larger bucket? did you try with a different substrate? the pellet can become expensive and have access to sawdust. Is it a good idea? thanks for your time and keep doing this, your smile motivates me to start growing .

[@folkfungi]

Thank you! I chose a smaller bucket because I live in a smaller home, but you can definitely use a larger bucket, like a 5 gallon one. I haven't tried with a different substrate. Lion's mane mushrooms prefer hardwood. Hope this helps!

[@riley8939]

I'm trying a slight variation on this method now! I didn't have enough grain spawn to do a 40% mixture, so I pasteurized aspen shavings meant for bunny bedding and used a spent Lion's Mane sawdust block to innoculate. I just broke it apart and sprinkled it over every handful of soaked aspen I put in the bucket. Hopefully it goes well and thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you for showing how to grow them like this! I have been wondering though: is the humidity tent enough to keep the spores from spreading around the house, or is that not a concern with this type of mushroom (as long as you harvest it early enough)?

[@folkfungi]

Thanks for watching! Lion's mane doesn't release its spores until the spines are quite long, and for taste, you'd want to harvest it well before that.

[@bfittathletictraining]

Thank you for this! Question, when is the best time to harvest? Like is the mushroom better/more nutritious when the spines are longer?

[@folkfungi]

When the spines are about a quarter of an inch long, it's a good time to harvest! To my understanding, it doesn't become more nutritious when the spines are longer. The longer they grow, there's a higher risk of the mushroom yellowing.
