found this in southern la close to new orleans in the swamp.its called lions mane. tastes sort of like seafood with the texture of lobster tail meat. it was found in laplace, which is about 15 min away from new orleans.
What a beautiful mushroom. We call it Hedgehog in Texas but others call it Lions Mane. It is a Hericium erinaceus and a choice edible. If the hedgehog is fresh (white and not yellowed), slice thin and sauté in olive oil for a wonderful taste treat.
thats a whole different ecosystem ur in. u probably got morels n stuff i dont. buy a book on mushrooms and learn it well. i learned from some cajun cats here. the only kind i pick here are oyster mushrooms, lions mane, and chanterelles. here u can only pick oyster mushrooms off tupelo and willow trees only above the water line. below the water line they are poisonous b/c they use oil as food that accumulate on the water line. it'll really get u sick. its serious shit...study!

@kwikflikz Hi, Can I ask what state you live in? I live in Massachussettes and was thinking of selling mushrooms to restaurants myself. If I won't be any competition for you, would you give me advice on how too? I'd love to get into it! Thanks.
WOW. Woot, that is BIG. Were you able to actually weigh it later on, to confirm how much it actually weighed? And were you able to eat it? :-D

lions mane mushrooms are really good and have been shown in bear grylls survival video to be a good source of food if your lost in the wilderness

@kwikflikz Well yeah I agree. Somtimes you just have to do it and learn as you go. But do you need a license or anything like that?

@buyerofsorts
Go for it. Gather some mushrooms and sell them. That's probably the best advice I can give you. Just be sure to know what you are collecting...
