More About This Lion’s Mane Warm Weather (Hericium erinaceus) Liquid Culture

Grow gourmet brain food with confidence—even in the heat.

Our Lion’s Mane Warm Weather Liquid Culture features a heat-tolerant strain of Hericium erinaceus specially selected to perform well in hotter climates, lower altitudes, and less-than-ideal indoor conditions. Whether you’re cultivating in the Southwest or in a space without temperature control, this vigorous strain helps you achieve dense, high-quality yields.

What Makes This Strain Special?

Lion’s Mane exhibits multiple phenotypes based on genetics, temperature, and humidity. In cooler environments, it often grows as a tight ball of cascading spines. But in warmer settings—especially above 75°F—it tends to form looser, coral-like clusters or elongated “pom-pom” formations. While the shape may shift, the powerful benefits remain: Lion’s Mane is rich in hericenones and erinacines, compounds that support brain health, nerve regeneration, and focus.

This warm-weather strain was isolated to thrive in tough growing conditions without sacrificing quality, making it ideal for small-scale growers, educators, and those working outside of temperature-controlled labs.

For best results, pair with our Wood Lovers Super Bag—a nutrient-dense substrate designed for wood-loving species like Hericium. This liquid culture is a great strain for outdoor cultivation lovers and is very easy to grow. The wood lover all in one super bag will do all the work for you.
