Lion's Mane Mushrooms

Chef Hannah is proud to serve this absolutely amazing protein source!

Lion’s mane, also known as hedgehog mushroom, grows wild in North Carolina, but we get ours from our pals at Urban Gourmet Farms! This mushroom has a sweet/mild flavor, reminiscent of crab or lobster. We sauté it gently in EVOO with a little fresh garlic, sea salt and black pepper. Fabulous on tacos, on top of salads, or with pasta, this mushroom offers a number of nootropic benefits – it is beneficial for cognitive function and nerve regeneration, and is potentially beneficial for those suffering from dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, peripheral neuropathy, seizures, anxiety, depression, and muscle cramps and spasms.
