Lion's Mane mushroom is an edible and medicinal mushroom that has been cultivated for use in Vietnam, China and Japan, and believed by some to have benefits to treat neurological dis-eases.
The mushroom has a unique appearance, resembling a cheerleader's "pom pom" with tentacles that hang down like teeth. Those teeth are used to make and release spores, which are the seeds that allow it to reproduce.
