I only just recently tried Lions Mane, as well! There's a "mushroom guy" that comes to the farmers market sometimes, and I couldn't resist when I saw he had some of that to try. I didn't realize how much moisture it held until I started cooking it and it shrunk down to almost nothing, haha. I think I need to try again because it wasn't my favorite. I think I used it in tacos? I know it's supposed to have a lot of good health benefits making it worthwhile to have a second taste! So cool that it grows on your property!
