Lion's Mane

Lion's Mane

Hericium erinaceus
WX018
Good yield

Cascading white spines forming a dense, pompom-shaped fruiting body. The flavour is uniquely seafood-like — often compared to crab or lobster. Prized in functional wellness and fine dining alike.

Lion's Mane is unlike any other mushroom in our collection. It produces dense, pompom-shaped masses of cascading white spines with no visible cap or stem. The texture is spongy and holds moisture well. The flavour is remarkable — seafood-like, with comparisons to crab or lobster being apt. Pan-sear thick slices in butter until golden for the best result. It's also one of the most sought-after functional mushrooms, traditionally used for cognitive and neurological support.
