Just had lion's mane for the first time this year, a local farm sells them at the farmers market, and I was amazed with them. Battered, breaded, and pan-fried they make a spectacular chicken or fish substitute, and a little bit of Italian seasoning or old bay seasoning in the batter, depending on what you are going for, really sends them over the top.
Yum! I went mostly vegetarian a couple months ago. Tried to eat a piece of chicken a couple of days ago and had to spit it out. My dogs were happy though! Going mushroom hunting today!!! Woo hoo!
Hey Adam! I’ve mentioned in my comments in earlier videos that I’ve been foraging wild mushrooms for 25 years. Out of the many, many edible fungi, the Lions’ Mane has to be right near the top of my favorites list. I love the texture of this one when eating, and though it may not appear so, one the size that you demonstrated provides a lot of deliciousness for two people, or close to a meal for one, as you know. Thanks for another wonderful vlog!
Adam, I want to thank you for all of your vast knowledge that you share with us. 1 year ago I found your videos. I never had the drive to find or even think of eating anything other than morels. Today I harvested and ate a lions mane, chantrelles, and oysters! Thank you so much!
Hi, there! I serve as a resident volunteer down here in Florida state parks. Two days ago I spotted one of these, about 12 inches long. I was fascinated by its beauty, but had no idea what it was. I ran a photo of it through Google Lens and read everything I could about it. That day I harvested it and ate my very first foraged wild mushroom. It has sparked an exciting new interest for me! Needless to say, I’ll be binge watching your channel and learning all that I can! Thank you for your information and passion as I set out on my mycological quest!
I really enjoy your videos and just want to say a sincere thank you for taking the time and effort to create this educational and entertaining content. It's refreshing to see someone with a true passion for their subject matter. Living vicariously through these videos lol. I really enjoy seeing how you prepare them. Thanks again!
[Learn Your Land {Adam}] Those grow in E. Oklahoma also. Many of the places where you hunt, as in, certain types of forest, e.g., Hemlock forest, are not common (to my limited knowledge) in the lower midwest, e.g. the Ozark foothills, but, one environment that is very common to that area is oak forest. I have harvested one of those Lion's Mane mushrooms. I had never seen one before; and I think I may have seen one since. So, I am assuming that they are not so common to the lower midwest, but it was good eating, and it was a good hike when I found it. Thank you for every good thing you put your hand to.
Holy shit this video is not only well edited, but 100% worth watching all the way through. Good flow of information, great density of information and you are a very natural speaker on camera. I learned so much information in less than 10 minutes, so efficient. Well done man, subscribed and looking forward to more
I have found Lions Mane on the same downed tree for going on around 5 years. Will be out there in 9 days to check again...hoping for more...such a good eating mushroom.
I couldn’t find any lions mane this season, dangit! It was really sad to see a local forest area today with all the Chagas hacked out completely. They didn’t even leave a trace behind, and they damaged the trees.... I keep bringing little pieces of chaga with me and inserting it into the damaged trees... not sure if that actually works or not... You got me completely obsessed with mycology . Thank you !!
Thank you for your wealth of knowledge, Adam. Really nice to have a PA local help me identify some of the stuff growing around me. I am from south eastern PA and I often cabin in Northern PA. Through your videos I have had the opportunity to learn so much.
Maybe I just need patience then. I bought a pre-plugged log last fall, also lions mane, and while there's some false turkey tail growing on it, there's no sign of lions mane ... yet.
I was JUST wondering if they grow in Arkansas , and then I found your comment !!! THANX !!! Coming through the Ouachitas in a week or so , so I will be looking !!!
found huge one today in the middle of the Metropolis of Raleigh North Carolina on a fallen beech tree that's been there for years. this huge beech has given massive amounts of oyster mushrooms turkey tail, several I can't identify etc. I stop by there once a month to see what's happening but it's down a super steep incline I don't usually go all the way down to its end but today I did. At the very end cut by chainsaw was a four or five pound lion's name so wonderful to find!!! Beyond ecstatic. I didn't take all of it and I took little pieces of it and "Seeded" it all around other parts of the log. so happy to have found this and so happy to have found Adam Haritan years ago to guide me on my way thru the exciting world of mushrooms
Every time i watch your videos i wish i could go into the forest for a walk to clear my head and harvest mushrooms. Thank you for the content Adam ,you are the only guy i know around my age with so much knowledge in mycology and so much love for the forest.Cheers!
I'd love to see how you prepare and cook the wild mushrooms you harvest. Otherwise great video, always nice to know what you can and can't eat. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks again, Adam. Went out last Friday looking for Maitake with no luck. We did find some white fruiting masses on a downed log I think may be the beginnings of some kind of Hericium. We did manage to find some nice flushes early Pleurotis ostreatus to tide us over until the Hens and Lions come out, and we got some nice rain yesterday too. 😎
So fun and interesting, great video. I love mushrooms and they are everywhere in my area. I have tried to learn more but wow there are so many kinds. I just need you to come walk around my yard for a few days and teach me.....lol 😊 The next best thing, I will just watch your videos.
Found my first bear’s head tooth yesterday beautiful specimen. I believe lions mane and bears head tooth have the same qualities and honestly bears head tooth seems to be better for eating . I liked the texture a little more .
Lion's Mane is my favorite mushroom currently. I bought a block to cultivate at home and am hoping to inoculate a couple log chunks after I harvest it a couple times. I am going to try to find white oak. I like that you have continued to find LM for five years on the same substrate. As always, your video is clear and informative and your enthusiasm is contagious.
@@dashluge US, and you can order them from North Spore you can find all kind of other companies online who sell grow kits that's fit your price range. One thing I head to wait about a month for the grow kit to get made and sent, but it's worth it and I wish I order more then a grow kit hahaha
I never found a Loin's mane, but Hericium are maybe my favorite mushroom to eat. I like that slightly bitter taste. I've only found them on beech trees/ logs.
Do you know if the beech bark disease has any impact on how common they are? I only know one patch of forest with beeches still over 3 inch diameter, didn't have much luck there like I was hoping. I feel like all the trees are dying before they get thick enough to grow edible mushrooms beyond a late fall oyster or 2
I have been searching for 2 years and found my first one today. It was growing inside a hollow red maple in Moore county n.c. while slicing it I noticed some small worms. I ate it any way. Maybe I won't die before watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing this information we appreciate it.
Hello Adam. In this video you mentioned the "comb Tooth" Hericium. I did a search of your videos but the search did not turn up any videos on the Comb tooth. Do you have a video on that mushroom? We have them in my area and I have been enjoying the harvesting and use of them now for about three years but would like to see a video on what you have to say about them if you have such a video.
Hi Lonnie, in the previous video ("On The Hunt For Autumn Mushrooms") I discuss Hericium coralloides for a few minutes. This species definitely deserves its own stand-alone video though!
My dad found one of these about 12 years ago that weigheda whopping 17lbs! I have a picture of him holding it! I will see if I can find it and share the picture! It was delicious! It was my first lions mane or its sometimes called " bear paw" in my neck of the woods. We have about 25 mushroom species we've hunted for and consumed. We've canned a lot too as many are good in soups and stews
I have a spot I keep finding it too.. but am never positive on ID.. so I don't use it... Don't feel "experienced" enough to be 100% sure. Thanks for all your great videos!
@@EconoChallenge Yeah... benefits / losses analysis with mushrooms.. if you are not 100% sure.. don't... if you ARE 100% sure.. check again.. :) 1 mistake can take your life.
How do you fix it to eat? Shave it? LOL I'm curious since it appears so -----beard/hair/mane like. Hope you make a few videos showing different ways to clean, fix, and prepare mushrooms.
Found one the other day in late January, about the same size and growth as yours shown. Stripped it down and stir fried with some butter. Good fare. It would be great chopped into a New England style of clam chowder sans clams.
The first and only time I found one of these it was at least 10 inches across, coming out of a live Oak tree about 4 ft above ground. I wondered if aliens had landed on Earth.
Time to spread the love, and take clippings of this lion's mane ... and johnny shroom seeder transplant many of the cuttings elsewhere across the landscape.
I just stumbled on your channel and I am so psyched that you're in my area! I live in northwest PA and have recently discovered a love for learning about/ foraging/ and using wild medicinal and edible plants! I have been reading about this mushroom for its cognitive support and I am SOOO excited to know it grows around here. I look forward to digging through your videos ❤🙏🙌
Very informative I am also in western PA and I’ve been trying to learn more able wild edibles over the years your videos have been very helpful for me thank you for you contribution!
I'm in Northern Indiana and our mushroom hunting season seems to be a few weeks behind yours, hoping to find a lion's mane here soon! (Finding a ton of Amanita Guessowii right now, and possibly Brown Birch Bolete) Your videos helped me identify some fall oyster mushrooms that made for an incredible dinner this past weekend! Thank you for all that you do!
Found a big one in South Georgia last year, right after first freezes , mid-December here. This year it’s growing in the same spot at the same time of the year.
I had some good success past few days finding three new trees and found a healthy patch of what I think is bears tooth but maybe lion's mane. And found a very small comb tooth. I've been seeding some woodpecker,d up maples n hoping they take
I grew my own Lions' Mane..ez with a kit, you can take the shroom, dry it, grind it and mix it with spices to use in your cooking to get all the benefits...when dried, it pretty much lasts forever
You got me into mushroom hunting this year i found oyster mushrooms chicken of the woods and morals it was very fun finding them while i would fish or hike and really made for good eating thank you alot man think i will always be on the look out for edible mushrooms and might soon get more adventurous once I read more field guides.
The best field guide I have is the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms. I ordered it from a book store 25 or more years ago. 720 full color pictures and a thorough description of each mushroom, including a glossary. A spore identification method to each is included with the descriptions. A Chanticleer Press Edition A Borzoi Book published by Alfred A. Knoph Inc., New York Gary H. Linhoff, President, North American Mycological Association Visual Key by Carol Nehring Published December 1, 1981 mine is the Fifth Printing, October 1988 Distributed by Random House I hope that helps. Enjoy
I found my first lions mane a few weeks ago by accident. It was double the size of my palm and about 8 ft high on a rotting birch tree. Remember to look up high too! So exciting
I buy these at my local farmer's market and love them. What is the best way you have found to cook them? I really appreciate your videos...you are always so informative and make identification so much less confusing. I grew up in New England but now live in CA.... and miss the Eastern woods. thank you so much for your videos!!!!!
This is the mushroom find that intrigued me enough to go looking for more last year, mid-october. I wish I remembered which tree species it was on, I didn't know that was important at the time. Now that I know where to look I can't find more ;)
I'm glad to know that Lion's Mane grows in this area!! I'm at the southern coast of Maine, so likely could find some. ! How do you eat this ?? . I've only seen the capsules/tabs for our immune system . ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge .. I've been your "fan" for a few years !
Just had lion's mane for the first time this year, a local farm sells them at the farmers market, and I was amazed with them. Battered, breaded, and pan-fried they make a spectacular chicken or fish substitute, and a little bit of Italian seasoning or old bay seasoning in the batter, depending on what you are going for, really sends them over the top.
Thanks I was wondering how to cook um.Now I've just got to find some haha.
Yum! I went mostly vegetarian a couple months ago. Tried to eat a piece of chicken a couple of days ago and had to spit it out. My dogs were happy though! Going mushroom hunting today!!! Woo hoo!
My husband found a 10 pound lions mane on a really old maple in TN. Made tincture out of it. It comes back every other year.
I take it as a dietary supplement. Paul Stamets knows his stuff!
Lions Mane is awesome! That is incredible that you have been able to find the mushroom so consistently.

ChicagoTRS Hey, you are Chicago based? Me too! I bet there are no more than 200 of us actively hunting mushrooms in the Chicagoland area.
I bet a lot more than that. I had my best year ever for morels this past spring and hen of the woods were great this fall.
I really enjoy watching your videos Adam. Your words, your cadence, it's easy for me to follow. It would be neat to take a walk with you sometime.

Have never seen one in New England or upstate New York, but never knew to look for them. Do now, thanks!
Just found my first lions Maine yesterday tasted awesome super exciting and found hen of the woods not to far away from it, very rewarding:)
You introduced me to this amazing thing. It's now part of my current wellness and brain boosting plan.

You need to create an app that identifies mushrooms. Include poisonous ones so we know what NOT to eat. I'd pay for that.
I would pay for that.
Books has that if you realy interested
Those apps already exist although not always very accurate

This is the mushroom find that intrigued me enough to go looking for more last year, mid-october. I wish I remembered which tree species it was on, I didn't know that was important at the time.
Now that I know where to look I can't find more ;)
Just found a monster one today on April 11th here in Illinois! First one I've found
I take this as a supplement daily. I have actually found it growing on my property as well.

I'm glad to know that Lion's Mane grows in this area!! I'm at the southern coast of Maine, so likely could find some. ! How do you eat this ?? . I've only seen the capsules/tabs for our immune system . ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge .. I've been your "fan" for a few years !
