(Hericium Erinaceus) Lion's mane mushroom, aka monkey head, bearded tooth mushroom, satyr's beard, bearded hedgehog mushroom, pom pom mushroom, or bearded tooth fungus. This ivory colored, cauliflower looking ball has a fragrant aroma and a seafood-like texture when it is cooked. Also known as “Bear’s Head”, it sometimes looks like a brain. Once reconstituted, it is great for searing, sautéing or in any dish calling for pork, beef, lamb, or venison.
