Lion's Mane Mushroom
Growing Log Kit
This species has many names including the bearded tooth mushroom and pom pom mushroom. They re found in late summer to fall on dead or dying hardwood trees, especially oak and beech. They grow in North America, China, Japan, and Europe. This doesn t look like your typical mushroom. It has no real cap and no stem. Instead it sports long spines coming out from a single clump. The purpose of these spines is to manufacture and release spores, the seeds of a mushroom that allow the fungal organism to reproduce. Many different types of mushrooms have spines instead of a cap, but lions mane and other members of the Hericium genus are some of the most recognizable. Their color is mainly white, although they become brown or yellow with age. This is not a common species of mushroom so finding one in the woods may be a rare treat. They grow higher up on trees rather than the base, which means that they re also often missed during a mushroom hunt.
