Dried Mushrooms

Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Our dried lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus, 猴头菇) is cultivated in China’s main specialty-mushroom regions and dried whole. Rehydrated, it gives the meaty, shredded texture that makes it a favourite for plant-based menus and traditional Chinese braises.

Yes. Many wellness brands grind whole dried lion’s mane. Contact us for volume pricing above the listed wholesale rate.
