Oh boy oh boy! Mushtooms.

Hericium americanum
-Commonly known as Bear's Head or Bear's Tooth-
Where: Northeastern US & Canada
Grows in deciduous/hardwood forests from living and decaying trees. Typically from oak and birchwood.
When: August-November
My friends and I found this little guy in September at Molly's Falls State Park, located in Cabot and Marshfield, Vermont.
There are many ways to consume this edible mushroom, but since we had been camping for weeks, due to our lack of resources we simply just intensely fried them in olive oil with salt and pepper seasoning. Nonetheless, it was super delicious!
----------
Appearance:
Bear's Head are relatively large mushrooms that grow 15-30 cm in diameter (6-11 inches) in compact clusters. It looks like thick, tufty, and smooth icicles or teeth that branch downwards. Bear's Head mushrooms are initially white in color when young and become more yellow as they age.
This mushroom releases spores through its "teeth," rather than gills or pores.
Taste:
The Bear's Tooth mushroom is known for having a tender, mild seafood-like taste, most akin to a slight crab or lobster flavor. It is best to pick these mushrooms while they are young and white because it becomes more bitter as the mushroom ages. When cooked, Bear's Tooth becomes brown in color.
This mushroom contains fiber, protein, antioxidants, and vitamin D!
You should ALWAYS cook wild mushrooms for the safest outcome, even if they are known to be edible. Bear's Head works well with sautéing, frying, and even baking.
I have heard that these mushrooms work really well as crab or lobster substitutes. Try them in crab cakes, seafood tacos, and soups! Its fishy, meaty flavor pairs well with butter, garlic, shallots, and lemon.
Medicinal Uses:
It is believed (by tribes in the northern parts of North America) that Bear's Head mushrooms, as well as other Hericium, can be utilized to treat bleeding wounds in their dried or powdered form, due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
There has been some research that shows that certain properties of Hericium can stimulate the synthesis of the NGF protein, which aids with improving memory and mood, and prevents brain cells from dying. This means that it can help prevent or combat Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
In Japan, clinical tests have shown that Hericium's antibacterial properties helped with the treatment of gastrointestinal issues such as stomach ulcers, chronic gastritis, Crohn's Disease, and esophageal cancer.
Of course, these mushrooms do not substitute medical attention and prescriptions. Further research is needed, and these studies only show that Hericium helps with treating symptoms--it is not a cure.
----------
** Bear's Head/Tooth is commonly confused to be synonymous with the Lion's Mane mushroom. However, these mushrooms are not the same species but are very closely related in the genus Hericium.
Bear's Head has longer branching fruiting bodies than the Lion's Mane. It looks more like melting candlewax whereas Lion's Mane looks more like a pom pom. The Coral Tooth Mushroom is also closely related, but as in the name, it has much shorter branches that look very much like corals.
Here is a good chart by the website Real Mushrooms:

I've kind of been on the yellow grey brown streak. Silver is beautiful and so is ochre and the branches of the trees.

Day one of the mushroom journey (no not drugs or psychedelic mushrooms, I mean fungi):
I can now recite a bunch of mushroom history
I have a mushroom laundry basket being shipped
Researching best mushroom forays in my area
Doing research on basic mycology
Moving onto intermediate mycology
Planning routes for foraging
Drawing and watercoloring cross sections and diagrams of mushrooms
Bombarding my family with fungi related facts, puns, jokes, and pictures
Made three science jokes/puns in a row (one geological, one mycological, and one medical) and recieved a "wow you really like science" I can die happily 🥰
Setting background to mushrooms on everything (my laptop mushroom backgrounds rotate)
Bombarding mycology bloggers with questions
Infodumping on everyone within a certain distance
Somehow rembering very specific facts but forgetting the word for spore like 9 times IN A ROW
