Lion's Mane Mushroom

While driving out of the woods after woodcockin', Floyd spotted this huge Lion's Mane. It's about the size of a cantaloupe and weighed just over 3 lbs. The weight was probably due to the recent rains as these mushrooms are like sponges. It'll make some good eatin'. Gil

Nice! I about knocked myself unconscious with one of those about the size of a basketball that I knocked out from about 20' up a tree with a long stick, and then tried to catch it. I didn't expect it to weigh that much. :D They are good eating as long as they haven't soured. Yours still looks nice and white.

It's a mild tasting mushroom which when cooked with other things, such as seafood, will take their flavor. Here's how I've cooked them.

Here's an example of one past its prime. Left it standing in the woods yesterday while hunting woodcock:
