Lion's Mane Mushroom Alfredo Sauce
By elean0rrigby
The lion's mane is a fall mushroom that tastes like lobster. It is easy to find, due to it shape and the icicle like teeth dangling from it. Commonly found on dead or decaying hardwoods, especially oak. The lion's mane is revered in ancient Chinese culture for its medicinal properties: it reduces the risk of cancer and promotes neurological function, among other things and being so tasty.
