Lion's Mane mushroom is delicious, if a bit finicky to cook. In my experience, the taste is like a cross between beef and shellfish, which is good but requires more planning around than your standard oyster or button mushrooms. They actually sell small growing kits on Amazon, and having used one myself they work pretty well.

I'm a mycologist and recognized it right away. :D Really fun to see you work with Lion's Mane, Guga. More people need to appreciate mushrooms.

You had me for so long. Initially I said to myself that's a mushroom. I've never seen those type in person but I'm in a FB group and see postings about Lions Mane and Bear Tooth mushrooms and that's what hit me. But I have never seen one shaped like that or of that size so I was totally thrown off clueless. I thought this man Guga is not baiting me into a mushroom while claiming it's meat. And finally right before ya'll started eating I said f it, it's a damn mushroom.

I was thinking chicken of the woods but never seen anything like it... turned out real nice looking. I want ur spice blend for relatives/myself/gifts but sold out bro. I think you are a solid dude and know how to cook a steak :)

When I saw Mystery Meat, I immediately hoped for Maumau. Hope he is doing well!

How would that turn out and what if any tweaking of the recipe would be needed? Thanx man.

On a possible cautionary angle, I take a Lion Mane tablet every day and they are quite small and the manufacturers recommend taking only one per day and not exceeding the dosage. I am not sure how a portion the size of a steak matches up with the contents of a tablet.

Hey Guga, as you seem to have tried every Wagyu steak it is time to try some Wagyu offal. Cheers

This is a mushroom. Though this mushroom can actually taste like steak when seasoned and cooked properly. I live in Maine. You can find Lions Mane almost everywhere by the coast and mossy areas if you look hard enough. It actually has a calming effect when consumed.
