Motherload of Lions Mane Mushroom!

Buddy brought it over to me. This mushroom is every bit of 4#...worth about $50 bucks. I plan on making that cream of crab and Brie cheese soup tomorrow night! Lions Mane pairs well with seafood-especially crab...so I am really looking forward to it!

Been kinda warm and foggy here lately. Mushrooms popping everywhere! I bet the Oyster mushrooms are out down by the river too! I need to go check.

Wow. If that was a deer you would have to mount it and hang on your wall.

The soup sounds wonderful.

Nice! I came across a huge one a few years back while metal detecting. Didn't know what it was at the time. Pretty sure I posted a pic here somewhere. Anyway, nice score!!

If I saw that in the woods , I'd have to poke it with a stick to make sure it was dead !
Enjoy .

Thanks Ray! Might be enough mushroom there to make two batches. Might dice it all and freeze some for later.

Thanks Steve, Yes indeed, these are top shelf. Light oceany flavor, no bitterness like portabellas of shitakis....

Yeah, they do look a little weird. But once you get over that, the flavor is incredible.

Lions Mane

I'm not a shrooms person , so I know nothing about any of them .
I'm watching Triple D waiting for some SS to finish , and a guy was doing Vegan Detroit style pizza , with Loins mane mushrooms .
He started them in a cast iron skillet , with a smaller hot cast iron skillet on top to press them as they cooked . Then went onto a grill , direct heat . Flippy flip ,,,,
Then sliced up . They looked like grilled pork loin chops . Crazy .
