It's as easy as can be. To begin, place the Mushroom Pack into the empty water tank of the GreenBox, cut an X into the foil from above, and spray it vigorously with water. It's not a problem if you also cut into the substrate when making the incision. This will have no effect on your harvest. Follow the instructions in the app for optimal growth light settings (use the cold mushroom light for 12 hours). Continue to spray the incision two to three times daily (approximately 6 - 8 sprays per watering are sufficient). Young mushrooms will appear in about 4 - 10 days. Ideally, do not spray water directly onto the mushrooms, but rather spray the area around the outside of the fruiting bodies.

Product Description
Step into the magical world of mushrooms and grow the wonderful Lion's Mane at home!
The darling of biohackers and gourmet chefs
The Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is also called Monkey Head or Pom-Pom. It is highly sought after among mushroom lovers! The fruiting body is beige, sometimes slightly reddish, and can reach sizes of up to 30 cm. The mushrooms usually have short stems and are 10–25 cm thick. The upper side is fibrous and torn. On the underside, there are soft, densely packed spines. The Lion's Mane owes its name to these characteristics.
The flesh is whitish and has a somewhat fibrous consistency, reminiscent of seafood. Its taste, depending on preparation, is reminiscent of lobster, veal or poultry, with slightly fruity aromas of coconut and lemongrass.
The Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is ideally suited for the GreenBox! With our ready-to-grow culture, you have the opportunity to harvest a delicious and healthy edible mushroom yourself in a short time!
Healthy Mushrooms - Healthy Body!
Allegedly good for the brain and immune system. In terms of mineral content, the Lion's Mane is equivalent to other mushrooms. However, it contains an above-average number of essential free amino acids. A study demonstrated a content of 16%. In total, 19 free amino acids were detected; almost all amino acids essential for humans were included.
We put the fun in fungi
Growing large portions of delicious gourmet mushrooms has never been easier. Thanks to the optimal growing conditions in our GreenBox, we guarantee fast and high-yield harvests. Furthermore, each Growkit – with proper storage and care – can be used more than once for even more mushroom fun.
Warning: The substrate for Lion's Mane (Lion’s Mane) differs from that for Oyster Mushrooms and has a darker color. This is completely normal and not a sign of mold. The dark color results from the special ingredients required for the growth of this mushroom.
Note: The Mushroom Pack contains a grow-ready, inoculated substrate – not ready-to-eat mushrooms.

The benefits of mushrooms are diverse.
Aside from their culinary appeal, mushrooms offer an impressive array of health benefits. They are a low-calorie food source that provides proteins, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin D and B vitamins), and minerals (including potassium and selenium).
Mushrooms are also known for their immune-boosting properties, their content of antioxidants, and their potential anti-inflammatory effects. Integrating mushrooms into your diet can contribute to overall well-being and support a healthy lifestyle.
