Just found a couple lions mane mushroom in the woods!
I’m going to cook it up tomorrow with shrimp and veggies!

Nice, those are tasty!
I read an article the other day on how protected they are the UK. Level 4! Which means it is like killing a bald eagle here!
Where abouts are you located @Plinsc?

I run into them occasionally while metal detecting in the woods. Never eaten one. I have a picture or two somewhere of a huge one I came across in the Petersburg area. I can't find it right now, but I'll post it up when I do.

Found the pics... here ya go. It's hard to put it in perspective, but I recall that size wise it was pretty close to a large cantaloupe. I'd never seen one this big before so it prompted me to research what it was. According to the pic info this was 3 years ago... how time flies.

Western Washington here. They like dying maples here.
That is a beauty Mr Whipple!

That’s a great one!
I just heat a dry cast iron up and slice and toss them on the heat till they start to brown.
Then add oil and shrimp and vegetables and sauté
I like it over Quinoa
