UnorthadoxDude Hello! This is a weird one, not a plant, but fungi! This diary is for the short fruiting of a Lions Mane Mushroom Grow Kit from The Lockdown Garden. It came already grown mycelium ready to fruit.
I cut three holes in the bag and kept it moist. I am using the shower cubicle as a makeshifit fruiting chamber, there is a window in the room so the shrooms get daylight but not direct light.
This is my first time fruiting any kind of fungi.

Happy Harvest Day!
7/10

428g was the yield from the first flush.
Fried lion's mane tastes like fried halloumi cheese.
There may be a 2nd and possibly 3rd) flush - if so I will update diary again.
UPDATE 16 July 2025:
Harvested 126g from the second flush.

UnorthadoxDude Well to be fair this harvest crept up on me, the strucutre of my mushrooms wasn't the same as I was seeing online so it was not as easy to judge.
Anyway, not a bad start, however with a yield like this it would not be commercially viable to grow these.
Second flush harvested on day 35. 126g

Oh how fun. I grew oyster and lions mane mushrooms a few years ago. Ate the oysters and made tincture from lions mane. 💚🍄💫

@Natrona, Awesome! I plan to eat them, but this is an experiment, if it goes well I may start fruiting more and selling them.

I just read about co2. Your mushroom bag hung above your plants will disperse co2 and boost plant development.

@Natrona, that is true but the temp and humidity is all wrong in my canna tent.
Lions mane needs like 85%+ rh for fruiting, and the max temp is 25c ideally. My tent is always above that.
