Lion’s Mane & Berry Gummies

From Farm to Gummies

We’re growing Lion’s Mane mushrooms right here in Prague. In this recipe, we don’t use store-bought extract — we make it from fresh mushrooms, preserving the farm-to-table integrity.

How We Prepare Our Lion’s Mane Powder

  1. Harvest fresh Lion’s Mane from the grow chamber. Brush off any substrate gently.

  2. Slice or tear into thin pieces — this helps them dry faster.

  3. Dry the mushrooms

    • Option A: In a dehydrator at 40–45 °C (104–113 °F) for 8–12 hours.

    • Option B: In the oven at the lowest setting with door slightly ajar — check to avoid burning.

  4. Ensure they’re completely dry (they should snap, not bend).

  5. Grind the dried mushrooms using a spice grinder, coffee grinder or food processor.

  6. Sieve the powder to keep only fine, smooth particles.

  7. Store in an airtight jar, preferably in a cool, dark spot.
