A wonderful surprise awaited us while on a hike. Lion's Mane has a very mild flavor and contains bioactive compounds that have been proven to improve brain health. Remember to always forage respectfully and sustainably.

Like their larger bright yellow cousins, these small reddish orange chanterelles feature false gills which do not easily flake away; likewise, this characteristic helps distinguish them from poisonous lookalikes such as the jack o' lantern mushroom.

Edible (at your own risk). Always have a positive ID before trying any wild mushroom you forage.
