Hericiums: Brain Boosting Fungi
Growing in the wild, they’ll appear as white toothed clusters on hardwoods. When harvesting, it’s best to use a knife to cut them off at the base, as the delicate branches are likely to fall apart if you aren’t careful. If a yellow tinge has started to show, the mushrooms may have a sour or bad taste, so it’s best to eat them fresh. Removing yellowed mushrooms is still be a good idea, since fresh ones may sprout in their place.
