I finally had one last year and it is by far my favorite mushroom. Great texture and flavor.

It looks like fried fish
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

How do you cook it?

Dry sauté and then a little butter and garlic.

I look for these every time I go to elk camp. We called them goats beard. We would shave off discolored parts then pull it apart into strips about the size of a french fry. Dip them in pancake batter and fry in butter until crisp. So yummy.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

I found some last year and they are delicious.  Hands down one of my favorite wild mushrooms.  Saute in butter and add salt and pepper at the end.   :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Bet it would be good in a stir fry.

That is one of the problems......they can grow higher than a person can reach.

Yeah it's a Hericium. As others have said it's good. I've eaten it fried in garlic butter. It tasted surprisingly similar to everything else that gets fried in garlic butter. In other words - delicious!

Did you do a spore test before eating?
