This variety of Lion’s Mane Mushroom was cloned and cultivated from a wild mushroom in the Otway National Park in Victoria.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms are medium to large in size, averaging 10-25 centimeters in diameter, and are spherical and elongated with a single, hidden base and overlapping, slender spines that average 1-5 centimeters in length and dangle freely down towards the ground ending in pointed tips. When the mushroom is young, the spines are bright white, but with age, the spines discolor to pale brown-yellow. Lion’s Mane mushrooms are tender and chewy with a mild, sweet, seafood flavor reminiscent of scallops, lobster, or crab.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms are quite unique, from the pom-pom like shape, to the way that it cooks. Before you go to slice up your Lion’s Mane, try gently pulling it apart with your fingers. It shreds just like chicken breast and is very easy to cook with. It holds its shape throughout cooking, it has a slight lobster-like taste to it, but it seems to absorb the flavor of everything else like most mushrooms.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms are best suited for cooked applications such as baking, frying, roasting, and sautéing. Their meaty texture is often used as a substitute for meat and can be served as a replacement for seafood, lamb, and pork. They are also commonly sautéed and served in pasta, stir-fries, soups, surf and turf, burgers, and salads. This mild mushroom easily picks up the flavors of the accompanying ingredients and can be a part of both side and main dishes.

The mushroom is very absorbent and too much water will ruin the flavor and texture of the dish. Lion’s Mane mushrooms pair well with apples, ginger, garlic, shallots, onions, butter, chiles, paprika, thyme, parsley, rosemary, sage, saffron, white pepper, kohlrabi, spinach, leeks, lemon, carrots, potatoes, pine nuts, meats such as beef and poultry, cashews, dry white wine, pesto, and chicken stock. They can also be cooked and then frozen for a couple of months.

Origins of lion’s mane mushroom

This mushroom with a weirdly distinct appearance was first discovered and used in China and Japan around 2000 years ago.

It’s famous for its long whitish spines that come out from the body, forming a shaggy looking clump that resembles a lion's mane.

Aside from its look, it’s also notorious for having so many nicknames. In China, it’s dubbed hou tou gu. In Japan, it’s named yamabushitake after the Yamabushi monks who used the mushroom for meditation. And in other parts of the world, it’s sometimes called hedgehog mushroom, pompom mushroom, monkey head mushroom, and so much more.

Lion’s mane mushroom has as many health benefits as it has many nicknames. Below are only some of the recognized potential health benefits of this fantastic fungus:

1. May help boost cognitive health

Some of our cognitive abilities deteriorate as we age. It’s the natural way of life. As people reach their golden years, they’re more susceptible to memory loss and other cognitive diseases.

This is where the lion’s mane may be able to work its magic. This mushroom contains two very special compounds called the hericenones and erinacines.

These compounds can help stimulate the growth of brain cells, improving the mental functioning of elders.

2. May help improve gut health

Lion’s mane mushroom may benefit not just your brain, but also your stomach.

In a study conducted in 2015, the polysaccharide in lion’s mane mushroom extract was proven to be an active ingredient in protecting the stomach from gastric ulcers.

The component can help to prevent the growth of Helicobacter pylori in the digestive tracts. This bacteria is responsible for stomach and duodenal ulcers.

3. It may also help reduce inflammation
