''Hericium erinaceus'' is an edible mushroom belonging to the tooth fungus group. Native to North America, Europe and Asia, it can be identified by its long spines , occurrence on hardwoods, and tendency to grow a single clump of dangling spines. The fruit bodies can be harvested and used as food. There is no high-quality evidence from clinical research to indicate that lion's mane mushroom has medicinal properties.
