Why Choose Nature Lion Mushroom Grow Kits?
Every Nature Lion mushroom grow kit is made in our CFIA-licensed facility in Brantford, Ontario. We inoculate, incubate, and ship each kit fully colonized so it arrives ready to fruit. No sterilization, no grain spawn, no substrate mixing. Just cut the bag, mist with water, and harvest fresh gourmet mushrooms in 7 to 14 days.
Our kits are available in six species: Lion's Mane, Blue Oyster, Pink Oyster, White Oyster, Black Oyster, and Chestnut. Each species has different flavour profiles, growing characteristics, and culinary uses, so there's a kit for every taste.
How Our Mushroom Growing Kits Work
Growing mushrooms at home with a kit is simpler than growing herbs. When your kit arrives, the mycelium has already fully colonized the substrate inside the bag. All it needs is fresh air, humidity, and indirect light to start producing mushrooms.
- Cut an X in the bag where you see the substrate pressing against the plastic.
- Mist the opening 2-3 times daily with a spray bottle. Keep the surface moist but not soaked.
- Harvest in 7-14 days when the mushrooms reach full size. Most kits produce 2-3 flushes.
For detailed growing instructions for each species, check our best mushrooms for beginners guide or our guide to getting multiple flushes from a single kit.
Mushroom Grow Kits vs Growing from Scratch
Grow kits are the fastest way to harvest fresh mushrooms at home. Growing from scratch with grain spawn and bulk substrate gives you larger harvests and more control, but requires sterilization equipment and some experience. If you're new to mushroom cultivation, a grow kit lets you experience the full growing cycle before investing in equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to grow mushrooms from a kit?
Most species produce their first harvest in 7 to 14 days after opening the bag. Oyster mushrooms are the fastest, often pinning within 3-5 days. Lion's Mane takes slightly longer, usually 10-14 days to first harvest.
How many harvests can I get from one kit?
Most kits produce 2 to 3 flushes (harvests). The first flush is typically the largest. Between flushes, soak the block in cold water for 6-12 hours to rehydrate, then resume misting. Read our complete guide to multiple flushes.
Do I need any equipment to grow mushrooms from a kit?
Just a spray bottle with water. No special equipment, sterile technique, or growing experience needed. Place the kit in indirect light at room temperature and mist 2-3 times daily.
Which mushroom grow kit should I start with?
Blue Oyster is the most forgiving and fastest-growing species, making it ideal for first-time growers. Lion's Mane is the most popular for its unique flavour and texture. Pink Oyster is stunning to watch grow but prefers warmer temperatures (20-30°C).
