Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is unmistakable. Instead of a cap and stem it grows in soft, icicle-like spines that spill downward, earning it the name that has followed it for centuries. It grows on hardwood and has been gathered and used across East Asia for generations.
We select firm, cream-white specimens with an even, unbroken spine structure, then dry them slowly so the delicate texture and mild, sweet aroma are preserved.
- Traditionally used in practices focused on focus and clarity
- A long-standing favourite in East Asian wellness traditions
- Naturally rich in dietary fibre
- Mild, subtly sweet flavour that suits both food and tea
These notes describe traditional and culinary use. They are not medical claims,
and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
Simmer gently as a tea, add to broths and soups, or pan-sear fresh pieces until golden. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional for guidance suited to you.
Keep sealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. Dried pieces stay in good condition for many months.
