Mushrooms, 1/2 lb Lion's Mane

Lion’s Mane, or Hericium Erinaceus, is a white, pompom shaped mushroom that grows outwards as a cluster of tightly packed spines that begin to cascade downwards as the mushroom matures, at which point resembling a lion’s shaggy mane. Flavor and texture resemble crab or lobster meat, they are delicate yet meaty when fresh and after being cooked are slightly chewy but tender with a slightly sweet, mild taste. Not only are they a culinary delight but they contain rare medicinal compounds that have been shown to improve neurological health, bolster the innate immune system and even fight breast cancer.
