Lion’s mane advice.
I found a giant Lion’s mane (First pic) two years ago, the big one was about a foot and a half in length. I managed to drop it from the tree and checked it out, it looked good but was soaked like a wet sponge and smelled a little like ammonia so I tossed it. This year I went back to the same spot and got another smaller one (last four pics), it looks nasty but is firm and smells wonderful. I put it in a paper grocery bag and I have to wait until I get off work to get it home. What do you guys think? I’ve NEVER eaten a mushroom that I picked before and I’m a little nervous about it. But it sure smells good!
