Lion's Mane

Hericium erinaceus

$20.00

Size
Harvested to order. Orders close Thursday 6pm for next week's harvest. Delivered Monday or Tuesday on our harvest runs, or collect from a pick-up point or the Saturday market.

Our flagship mushroom. Shaggy white cascades with a sweet, delicate flavour. Seared in butter, lion's mane is tender and stringy, a lot like crab or lobster, which is why chefs love it.

Grown at Clayton Bay on local hardwood and rainwater, picked to order and delivered on our next harvest run.

Tear into thick slices or 'steaks'. Press in a hot pan with a little oil, weighing it down so the water cooks out, then add butter and cook until golden on both sides.
Season with salt, lemon and thyme. Great on toast, in risotto, or shredded into 'crab' cakes.
Storage
Keep in a paper bag in the fridge, never sealed in plastic. Best within 5 days.
No need to wash. Trim the base and brush off any bits.
