flipjargendy Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Walking around the woods in norther Minnesota, I noticed these mushrooms on an old log on the forest floor. I've never had a good look at Lion's Mane but I think I found some fresh ones. Doing some research now but figured I'd post here to see if there are other suggestions. Thanks! 🙂 Edit: just found one in my field guide called bear's head tooth. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipjargendy Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks @Tasso. I'm sitting here waiting for a spore print but looks like you're right. Looks like not a choice edible as I hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my David Aurora field guide, it’s (Hericium abietis). This H. Abietis maybe a western variety, and eastern varieties may have a different name, but I have been eating them for 3 years now. They are one of my favourite mushrooms as far as flavour. Cooked slow, it brings out a crab flavour, and it has a meaty texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipjargendy Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Since mushroom expert said it was tasteless and from what I've found tonight there are no poisonous look-alikes, I decided to fry up a piece. You are right, @That_Guy, a crab flavor and texture for sure. This one is at the top of my list for taste and texture. Can't wait to try more tomorrow.

CamilleR Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 All three Hericium types are choice edibles. I've only had the lion's mane. H. Erinaceus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systemslib Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 he that guy, just wanted to say looks like you may have a leccinum of some type next to that king bolete. Some eat the leccinum but others say to avoid.They have that shaggy stem, always looks a bit darker. See lots of them around here often where the kings are.......
