Hericium erinaceus
Lion's Mane, is often called Satyr's Beard, Bearded Tooth Mushroom, Bearded Hedgehog Mushroom or Pom pom mushroom.
It is both a medicinal and gourmet mushroom.
The texture is similar to crab or lobster meat, which makes it an excellent vegan meat substitute - or even a shell fish substitute if you're allergic!
It does have a seafood like flavor, but not too strong or overwhelming.
We also like to use it as a piece of vegan "steak".
These mushrooms should not be eaten raw.
Store the mushrooms in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator in a paper bag.
All our mushrooms are grown without pesticides and fertilizers.
