INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROWING LION'S MANE:

1. Cut out the window on the outer box without damaging the mushroom bag inside. Check the mushroom bag for possible contamination (blue, yellow, or green spots). If you see contamination, DO NOT PROCEED. Please reach out to Nature Lion ASAP with pictures via info@naturelion.ca or text 647-449-7396 to get a replacement.

2. Cut out an "X" 1-2 inches in length from the side of the mushroom bag. It's okay to cut into the substrate!

3. Your Lion's Mane Grow Kit should have come with a plastic bag with holes in it. This is your humidity tent. You will need to use this for maintaining humidity without spraying the mushrooms themselves.

4. Mist the inside of the plastic humidity tent (NOT the mushroom grow bag itself) 2-3 times a day to activate the mycellium. Once you see "pins" or mushroom growth, dial back misting to once a day.

4. While your mushrooms are growing, keep them away from direct sunlight. Ambient light is acceptable but not direct light.

5. Lion's mane mushrooms are ready for harvest when the mushroom changes texture from smooth to teeth-like or spiny. As they age, they will also turn slightly yellow from their original whitish-pink colour.
