Lion's Mane HE-1 Commercial Liquid Culture (200ml)

Lion's Mane HE-1 Commercial Liquid Culture (200ml)

Scale your lion's mane he-1 (Hericium erinaceus) production with this 200ml commercial liquid culture jar. HE-1 is a Nature Lion proprietary lion's mane isolate selected for denser, more compact fruiting bodies with tighter spine formation. This jar gives you lab-isolated genetics in a format designed for repeated sterile draws across large production batches. Made in Canada at our CFIA-licensed facility in Brantford, Ontario.

What's Included

• One 200ml mason jar with live lion's mane he-1 mycelium in sterile honey-water medium
• Self-healing injection port for clean, repeated culture draws
• Synthetic filter cap for continuous gas exchange
• Lab-isolated Hericium erinaceus genetics

How to Use

Draw culture through the self-healing injection port using a sterile syringe. One 200ml jar provides enough culture to inoculate a full production run of grain jars or grow bags.

• Wipe the injection port with isopropyl alcohol before every draw
• Use a sterile 18-gauge needle and syringe
• Inject 2-5ml per grain jar or spawn bag
• Swirl the jar gently before drawing to ensure even mycelium distribution

Species Profile

HE-1 is a Nature Lion proprietary lion's mane isolate selected for denser, more compact fruiting bodies with tighter spine formation. While standard lion's mane can produce wispy, loose spines, HE-1 produces the firm, dense pom-pom structure that chefs and consumers prefer. It performs well on supplemented hardwood sawdust and produces reliable yields across multiple flushes.

Growing Parameters

• Scientific name: Hericium erinaceus
• Fruiting temperature: cool to moderate (12-20°C)
• Recommended substrate: supplemented hardwood sawdust, masters mix

Why Commercial Size

The 200ml jar format lets you maintain genetic consistency across your entire spawn production line. One jar replaces dozens of individual syringes, and the self-healing injection port allows repeated draws without opening the jar — keeping contamination risk low and throughput high.
