Coral Tooth Mushroom - 9oz
Coral Tooth Mushroom (Hericium coralloides) is a delicate, cascading mushroom with a coral-like appearance, closely related to Lion’s Mane.
Taste: Mild, slightly nutty or seafood-like flavor—often compared to crab or lobster.
Texture: Tender, delicate, and slightly chewy when cooked, with a soft, shreddable structure.
Best Ways to Cook:
Sautéing: Gently pan-fry in butter or oil until lightly browned—brings out its sweet, nutty flavor.
Roasting: Keeps the texture light and enhances its natural umami.
Tearing and pan-searing: Great in vegan “seafood” dishes, like mock crab cakes or chowders.
Adding to pasta or risotto: Absorbs sauces well and adds a luxurious texture.
Tip: Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the delicate tips, and avoid washing—brush off dirt to maintain texture.
