LION'S MANE "POM POM" PLUG SPAWN

Lion’s Mane "Pom Pom" (Hericium Erinaceus) is a mushroom that tastes like crab meat!

Hericium fruit have spines, not gills, and can be found fruiting on various hardwood trees. Nearly identical in appearance and flavor to other Lion's Manes, this slight species variation differs because this species forms a perfect singular ball of spines. Tearing this mushroom into strands and sautéing it with butter and garlic tastes nearly identical to crabmeat or lobster. Great mushroom for anyone with shellfish allergies that wish they could eat shrimp or other seafood, try coating slices into egg, breading and frying them, and pairing them with a spicy mayo sauce for dipping.
