the shaggy ink cap (also called lawyer's wig or shaggy mane) is an inkcap fungus in the family agaricaceae. it is famous for its pitch-black spore-filled ink !! it is said to often grow in "unexpected" places, & has been recorded in south africa, europe, north america, aotearoa & australia. it is also carnivorous :-)
(learn about carnivorous fungi or the process of deliquescence)
the big question : can i bite it??
yes !! the mushroom is edible when young / before deliquescence.
c. comatus description :
"the shaggy ink cap is easily recognizable from its almost cylindrical cap which initially covers most of its stem. the cap ranges from 4–8 cm (1+5⁄8–3+1⁄8 in) in width & 6–20 cm (2+3⁄8–7+7⁄8 in) in height. it is mostly white with shaggy scales, which are more pale brown at the apex. the free gills change rapidly from white to pink, then to black. it is deliquescent. the white & fairly thick stipe measures 6–40 cm (2–16 in) high by 1–2.5 cm (1⁄2–1 in) in diameter & has a loose ring near the bottom."
Lions mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a tooth fungus of the family Hericiaceae. A prime edible species, it is found in temperate climates across much of North America and Eurasia. They feed predominately on decaying wood and can be easily cultivated on sawdust, with kits available online from many sources.
I found this one on an oak tree where I hunt in the Southern United States, and since they’re as close to completely safe as a wild mushroom can be, I decided to treat my folks to one of my favorite wild edibles. This one was frankly enormous, so there was plenty to share.
We’re gunna need a bigger pan.
In seriousness, this one probably weighed something along the lines of 10 pounds, but that was largely because it had been raining all day and these things are like sponges. Unfortunately, despite looking pretty decent, it was on the edge of edibility, with the core having already softened and gone yellow.
Luckily, the toothed exterior (the best part for eating as far as texture goes) was still fine, and I was able to get a very respectable portion of the stuff.
This species is known for cooking down to a texture and flavor not dissimilar to seafood like crab or lobster, and is quite nutritious. I sauteed this one in butter, and seasoned it with some herbs, cayenne, and salt and pepper.
It was supremely delicious, with a side of roasted potatoes and salad and some shrimps. Dipped in cocktail sauce it really is remarkably similar to a bite of crab.
Foraging note: All members of the genus Hericium, in North America at least, are safe edible species. But once they begin yellowing and producing spores they can cause stomach upset, so be cautious. There are no dangerous look alikes of this species, which makes it one of the safest mushrooms to forage. That said, you should always be cautious when harvesting wild edibles, both ensuring that what you are taking is identified correctly, and that it is not contaminated by pesticides/herbicides/other environmental toxins. Also take care to not overharvest wild sources, and to not damage the habitat as you go.
