Mushroom Monday... deepening our knowledge of lion's mane
Hey y'all, I have using lion's mane as a functional mushroom for brain health for years but recently, since growing my own I have been using them as food! And dang, are they tasty! I had our friend
over this past weekend and so he can attest to their deliciousness. I did a simple method, I put them in the pan dry to release any moisture, and then I fried them up in butter, garlic, salt & pepper. I had some oysters and so I threw them in too! What I got was a simple and delicious way to enjoy them, their meaty texture and flavor profile was top notch. I am looking forward to exploring other recipes, like this one, offered from our friends at North Spore. A lion's mane "fish" sandwich, it actually sounds so good to me, I will let you know how it turns out.
Have you worked with lions mane, either taking it as a capsule or tincture for brain function or have you tried cooking with it? I would love to hear about your experience!
