«Maitake» (Grifola frondosa) - Organic Mushroom Spawn

Lion’s Mane is a beautiful and unusual ‘teethed’ mushroom comprised of layers of soft cascading spines.  It gets its name from the Lion’s Mane Jellyfish not from the big cat! Lion’s Mane is now a rare find in the wild.

Fruit bodies (4 to 6 cm diameter) with gelatine-like to rubbery texture, and dark brown to black share, depending on the humidity. Little infection of insect larva’s, and a very long storage capacity. Easy to grow.

On the lower surface, underneath the smooth cap, most species have gill-like ridges that run almost all the way down its stipe, which tapers down seamlessly from the cap. Many species emit a fruity aroma, reminiscent of apricots.

Suillellus luridus (formerly Boletus luridus), commonly known as the lurid bolete, is a fungus of the bolete family, found in deciduous woodlands on chalky soils in Asia, Europe, and eastern North America.
