We’re excited to introduce two brand-new additions to the Cap & Culture range — ready-to-grow Lion’s Mane and Blue Oyster mushroom kits. These kits make it easy to grow fresh gourmet mushrooms at home, even if you’ve never grown mushrooms before.

Each kit arrives fully colonised and ready to fruit — all you need to do is follow a few simple steps and watch your mushrooms grow.

🧠 Lion’s Mane Grow Kit — Grow a Functional Favourite at Home

Lion’s Mane is famous for its unique, shaggy appearance and is widely studied for its potential cognitive and neurological benefits. With our ready-to-grow kit, you can produce your own fresh Lion’s Mane clusters in just a few days.

Why choose a Lion’s Mane grow kit?

No specialist equipment needed

Ideal for kitchens, shelves, or grow tents

Produces dense, fresh fruiting bodies

Great for cooking, teas, and drying for later use

Lion’s Mane prefers higher humidity, making it perfect for indoor growing with regular misting. Many customers are amazed at how quickly it develops once fruiting begins.

💙 Blue Oyster Grow Kit — Fast, Reliable, and Beginner Friendly

Blue Oyster mushrooms are one of the easiest and fastest mushrooms to grow, making them perfect for beginners. They grow in attractive clusters and are ready to harvest quickly under the right conditions.

Why grow Blue Oyster at home?

Very fast growth and high success rate

Strong, savoury flavour when cooked

Excellent yields from compact kits

Blue Oysters are resilient and adaptable, meaning you can grow them successfully in most indoor environments with basic care.
