- Description
✓ Everything you adore about our Organic Lion's Mane - just better value!
Beautiful and mysterious, enigmatic and alluring, a visual and tasty treat; our Lion's Mane mushrooms have an unforgettable shaggy icicle-like sculptural appearance and beautifully sweet and rich aroma. Cooked Lion's Mane mushrooms impart an exciting, magnificent flavour often likened to tender lobster and aubergine, and a texture similar to succulent, juicy crab. At Deer Manor, we are delighted to grow a number of varieties of Organic Lion's Mane including Lion's Pride, Lion's Beard, Mountain-Priest, Satyrs Beard and Bearded Hedgehog strains. As versatile as it is delicious; Lion's Mane is often used in the vegan and vegetarian communities as a seafood or pork substitute. Cooking is recommended before consumption and with our heirloom cookbook - Recipes to Celebrate Mushrooms boasting over 130 mushroom-based meals, you will never be short of inspiration.
True to our organic ethos and sustainable roots, our Lion's Mane mushrooms are grown with care in small batches on our estate-based farm in the wilds of South West Scotland. Our processes are all natural and we harvest when taste is optimum - just moments before delivery. The result? A rare treat of a mushroom grown for your dining pleasure!
Please also note:
We cultivate a variety of Lion’s Mane strains, including Monkey Head Mushroom, Satyr’s Beard, Bearded Hedgehog Mushroom, and Mountain-Priest Mushroom, Bearded Tooth Fungus. The diversity is vast. The colour spectrum is broad, ranging from yellow, white, beige, to pink and even brown, influenced by species, humidity, and season. The appearance can vary from a cauliflower-like structure to low icicle tendrils or even an almost spiky ‘fur’ texture – all within the realm of normal. Taste also spans a spectrum from sweet to savoury. We believe this diversity enhances the culinary experience. To learn more, about taste, composition, texture and appearance, please visit here.
Care:
Our mushrooms should be refrigerated and kept in their breathable paper bag, never plastic, to prevent sweating. Best enjoyed within 7 days, we recommend that mushrooms are always cooked before being eaten. For stocks or soups, you can freeze fresh mushrooms and use directly in cooking without thawing. Alternatively, for long-term preservation, our mushrooms can be dehydrated using a low oven, a purpose-built dehydrator, or the sun (if you’re lucky!). Our mushrooms are organic, wilderness-pure and deeply nourishing so ideal for use in tinctures. Simply steep your mushrooms in high-proof, neutral grain alcohol for 6-8 weeks and take a few drops per day.
