Cooking Lion's Mane Mushroom

Step 1

Prep the mushrooms to cook. After they have been properly cleaned, shred the mushrooms with your hands by tearing them apart into small pieces.

Step 2

Or using a chef’s knife, cut the mushrooms into slices, or cut them into small pieces, depending on your desired outcome.

Step 3

In a saucepan over medium heat add the mushrooms.

Step 4

Because of the moisture in the mushrooms, do not add any oil or butter until after most of the moisture has been cooked out. Dry sauté the mushrooms in the beginning stages of cooking for best results.

Step 5

Keep stirring the mushroom but let them brown to develop flavor.

Step 6

Once you have achieved good color on the mushrooms, you can add some olive oil and season to taste if desired.

Step 7

Cook time will be between 5-10 minutes depending on how much moisture is in the mushrooms.

Step 8

Once cooked add to your desired recipe, or cool and store properly.
