As the mushroom foraging season starts to wind down towards the end of September, one fungus rises to the occasion. The Lion’s Mane, Bear’s Tooth, or Pom-Pom all refer to a handful of choice edible fungi in the New England forests. This mushroom is unmistakable with its fleshy white tentacles, and often appears attached to the trunk of a tree overhead.
Not only is this fungus a choice edible, it also is one of the most interesting and effective medicinal fungi in existence. With a plethora of positive research results, and many more in the works, Lion’s Mane is an exciting mushroom to find!
