Lion's Mane mushrooms, though slightly harder to get flushes, are still a great mushroom for confident beginners or those with some experience growing mushrooms. They colonize quickly and are relatively reliable producers.

Lion's Mane produces a pure white cluster of icicle-like teeth. When cooked, it has a consistency similar to crab meat. We like to slice it into rounds and pan-fry it in olive oil or butter. You can also try ripping it up and making 'Lion's Mane Cakes' by following a crab cake recipe!
