Heat-Tolerant Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus – Warm Climate Strain)

Heat-Tolerant Lion’s Mane is a specialised strain of Hericium erinaceus selectively bred for vigorous growth in warmer environments. Ideal for summer cultivation or growers without strict climate control, this strain produces the same iconic cascading spines and gourmet flavour as standard Lion’s Mane — but with dramatically improved performance at elevated temperatures. Our cultures are produced fresh in our sterile UK lab and delivered in the format that suits your grow: liquid culture, agar plate, agar slant or ready-to-fruit kit.
