evanr Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I found this in an old cottenwood tree. Is it a lions mane, cuz I wanna eat it? Is there any thing else it could be? In other words, is there any possibility of it being a look alike and being poisonous? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 It looks like Hericium abietis, one of the Lion's Mane mushrooms that occurs in California. It should be safe to eat, but always sample a small amount at first in case you are allergic to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
