Hericiums are easy to identify and they are edible. Always eat a very small amount in the beginning to find out whether your digestive system objects in any way. Just because a fungi is deemed "edible" does not mean some of us may have some reaction to it. For more info see the links below.In the video I gave this particular Hericium the wrong name - and I apologise for this. Bear's Head Tooth is what you see in the video which is Hericium americanum. Western Canada and US there is lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus). There is also another edible look-a-like, Comb Tooth Fungus (Hericium coralloides).These easy-to-identify fungi are highly beneficial to our health in so many ways!- Bear's Head Tooth (identification, distinguishing features, height, habitat, spore print, season & edibility): https://www.ediblewildfood.com/bears-head-tooth.aspx- Comb Tooth Fungus (identification, etc.): https://www.ediblewildfood.com/comb-tooth-fungus.aspx- Lion's Mane - Edible and Medicinal Fungi: https://www.ediblewildfood.com/blog/2016/10/lions-mane-edible-and-medicinal-fungi/- Lions Mane Can Tame Anxiety: https://latitudes.org/lions-mane-can-tame-anxiety/Vitamin B12[c-lactone], a Biologically Inactive Corrinoid Compound, Occurs in Cultured and Dried Lions Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) Fruiting Bodies - http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf404463v#bearsheadtooth #ediblefungi #toothfungi
