"Lion's Mane is one of the few mushrooms imparting the flavor of lobster when cooked, which is the reason people make "crab cakes" with them. Some people say it has a flavour similar to eggplant. They can be cut in slices and fried in oil until the moisture has been reduced. Garlic, onions, and almonds go well with this mushroom. The addition of butter near the end of the cooking cycle brings out the lobster flavour. A combination of Shiitake and Lion's Mane, sauteed in this way, with a touch of soy or tamari, and added to white rice is one of my favourites!" (From starseedfarms.ca)
