Ah! They're such a lovely fungus to admire with the eyes and the tastebuds. Enjoy :highfive:

I advise any noob looking to identify mushrooms to fill out the ID form and provide clear photographs. Knowledge is a privilege and deserves respect. Let's give due props to the experts!

I found one yesterday but didn't photograph it. My girlfriend dried it in the oven but I think she overdid it. :frown:

I found a small one in New York last weekend. Tried cloning and failed miserably. GA is a good place for them.

Very delicious. And yes the medicinal properties are astounding

I don't know about anyone else, but I've personally been trying to track them down for their benefits to the nervous system—especially their reported ability to improve myelination. Both my parents have MS, so I want to hunt down and feed them as many lion's manes as possible, which is sort of how I started learning to forage mushrooms... alas, I have yet to actually encounter one in the wild, so I am currently insanely jealous of the OP.

I've heard that the cell walls of mushrooms are indigestible unless heated thus releasing their nutrients.

I don't know anything about their medicinal properties, but if that's what you want them for, I would suggest that you just grow them rather than waste time trying to find them. They are really easy to grow and culture syringes are widely available to purchase.

I would grow. But seeing how im in ga. No sporeshop will send any to ga.  Regardless if theyre edible non psychoactive etc.. thats why i hunt them. And have no problem finding them. Ill climb the tree or take an axe an chop it down if its growing in a dead tree.

Where there is a will, there is a way, my friend. And take clippings from each on and out into dead logs to continue growing elsewhere

Eh, I plan on inoculating some logs, but they take like a year to fruit, and I don't have a great setup/clean room for inoculating sawdust or the like. I've heard Hericium are tougher to culture than, say, oysters and shiitake, too. Also, since I'm hiking around anyway foraging for other things, it's not a waste of time...

me neither--at least not since i've known what they were--except two that were very browned and well on their way to rotting away. 

i did find one while deer hunting about a dozen years ago and at that time all i knew was cube hunting.  but i remember it distinctly since i've never seen anything else that looks like white, hairy filaments cascading from a ball shaped fungus.

I will, ive done it before that way with oysters. After cutting them from a log, rip apart of one up and shove down in cracks or holes of other logs. And have noticed it works quite well. With what ive done the past 3 years.  Never sterilized anything. Just wild mushrooms to newer fallen logs.  After a year year an anhalf thise start having little oysters growing.  Could be coincidence.  But i like to think positive that i did it. Who really knows?

And wow! Im surprised with you being an T.I.  but from what ive read they arent common. So ive been pretty lucky to find them.
