This is a most unusual looking mushroom, and not one that you are likely to encounter in the shops. It is extremely tasty - some say it has the flavour reminiscent of lobster. Lke some other types of mushroom, Lions Mane is believed to be highly beneficial to health. Lions' Mane also has a unique medicinal effect - it produces a polysaccaride which stimulates nerve growth and growth of the myelin sheath. (See

This mushroom grows best on supplemented sawdust, and will grow on softwood. It prefers sterilised substrates over pasteurised substrates
