Hericium cirrhatum vs. erinaceus as food and medicine


Recommended Posts

Personally i've tried the former as food, but never the latter. The latter is well researched and appears to contain neuroprotective compounds. The former hasn't been chemically analyzed to my knowledge. It's not even considered edible here in Sweden, although english and american sources seem to regard it as a good edible. From the looks of it, these species seem to consist of very similar tissue albeit in a different morphological pattern.

Has anyone tried them both and compared taste?

Any thoughts on medical potential of H. cirrhatum?

I found a nice specimen today, and to me it really tastes like button mushrooms or parasol mushrooms, with a different texture.
