Lion's Beard
Hericium erinaceus
WX049

A specialty strain with dramatically elongated spines and a distinct tight ball-like shape — quite different from the looser pompom of standard lion's mane. Seafood-like flavour, great yield.
WX049 is a specialty Hericium erinaceus strain from The Mycelium Emporium, selected for its notably elongated spines that give it a more dramatic, flowing appearance compared to standard lion's mane. The flavour profile is the same — seafood-like and umami-rich — but the visual presentation is distinct. We're currently building our grow log data on this strain, and it looks very promising.
