Lion's Mane mushroom, scientifically known as Hericium erinaceus, is a distinctive-looking fungus with long, dangling spines that resemble a lion's mane. Its appearance makes it easily recognizable in the wild. The mushroom can range in color from white to cream, and it grows on hardwood trees, particularly on beech, oak, and maple.

The fruiting body of Lion's Mane is composed of icicle-like spines that hang down and form a cascading mass. As the mushroom matures, it can reach sizes of up to several inches in diameter. The spines are soft to the touch, giving the mushroom a unique texture.

History:
Lion's Mane has a rich history of use in traditional medicine, especially in Asian cultures. It has been utilized for centuries in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for its potential health benefits. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as "Hou Tou Gu" and is believed to have properties that benefit the digestive system, boost overall vitality, and support cognitive function.

Historically, Lion's Mane was reserved for royalty due to its rarity and unique appearance, contributing to its reputation as a valuable and special medicinal mushroom.
