Lion’s Mane Mushroom
What is Lion’s Mane?
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible and medicinal mushroom native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It grows in large, white, icicle-like clusters on hardwood trees and decaying logs. Its unusual appearance, with soft, shaggy tendrils resembling a lion’s mane, makes it one of the most distinctive mushrooms in nature.
Known as “Yamabushitake” in Japan and long revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lion’s Mane is now gaining global attention for its impressive health properties and culinary versatility.
