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
Harvest fresh Lion’s Mane from the grow chamber. Brush off any substrate gently.
Slice or tear into thin pieces — this helps them dry faster.
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.
Ensure they’re completely dry (they should snap, not bend).
Grind the dried mushrooms using a spice grinder, coffee grinder or food processor.
Sieve the powder to keep only fine, smooth particles.
Store in an airtight jar, preferably in a cool, dark spot.
Ingredients
1 cup berry juice (e.g., blueberry, raspberry, or mixed berry)
2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
½ cup cold water (for blooming gelatin or agar-agar)
2 tablespoons gelatin or agar-agar (vegan option)
1–2 teaspoons Lion’s Mane mushroom powder (made from fresh mushrooms: slice, dry, then grind)
Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
Instructions
Bloom gelling agent
Mix the cold water and gelatin/agar in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Warm berry mixture
In a saucepan over low heat, add the berry juice and maple syrup. Stir until integrated (don’t boil).
Add Lion’s Mane powder
Whisk in 1–2 tsp of your freshly made mushroom powder. Stir until fully dissolved.
Combine with gelling agent
Slowly whisk in the bloomed gelatin or agar. Stir continuously over low heat until smooth.
Add lemon juice (optional)
Just a quick splash to brighten the flavour.
Pour into molds
Use a dropper or small jug to fill silicone gummy molds.
Set & chill
Let cool at room temp, then refrigerate for 30–60 min or until firm.
Unmold & store
Pop them out gently and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
