Lions Mane Spawn

Difficulty: Intermediate. Lions Mane is really quite a simple mushroom to grow at home. The trick is to be careful not to mist directly on the fruiting body. Resembling a sort of soft-ball with a beard, the lions mane mushroom is unique in that it doesnt grow the traditional stem, cap, and gills that are so commonly recognized on a mushroom. A medicinal mushroom as well as delicious, the lions mane will cook and brown nicely in the pan with oil or butter and tastes a little nutty and reminicent of seafood. (hericium erinaceus).
