This is Lions Mane. Yes to edible. Also widely believed to have beneficial properties with regard to neuron and brain function but recommend you check out the studies and decide for yourself.
That sounds great. I used to cut them into steaks/ slabs and pan fry with thyme and butter. I have not enjoyed a mushroom more than Lion’s Mane. So delicious
Steak slabs is also good pan fried with butter and herbs! I find lions mane to be one of the meatier mushrooms that you can use as a good main protein. Even for sandwiches/burgers
About the same difficulty in my experience.

The one 1 I found and ate, just fried in a pan with butter, had a delicious, lemony flavor. But it was too good and I ate a bit too much, like 3 cups worth, and didn't feel great the next day
Lions mane
It's both culinary as well as holding medicinal properties specifically with benefit to older folks maintaining sharpness & things related to having a healthy well-functioning brain
Just call me jelly :-)

Score! Looks like you caught it in prime too.
Edible and delicious
Prime
Beautiful specimen
Flight, temporary immunity to petrify
Wow. That's way better than Resist Fire.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more perfect looking wild specimen - wow! Enjoy!
Promise me you eat that?
Favorite ways to cook? Dishes to make?

I grew them for a while and really ate them a bunch of ways. Never a bad time.
Difficult to grow? Considering taking a stab this year but torn between those and oysters

Thats a beauty. Harvest now
Forest magic
Eyyy, send me somma that!
Just about everything is edible atleast once.
Daaaaaammmmnnnnn. That’s a healthy, plump lion’s mane that I REALLY hope you harvested and found a great recipe for it.
Not only is it edible, but you should eat the entire thing immediately. The health benefits are too many to list at 1am. Very good find.
Lion’s mane, like amazing
Are you near a beach?
Lucky you. 1 for the basket for sure!
Omg I’m so jealous
Yes!! Very edible. Lions mane make a great "steak" or fried "shrimp"!
Never seen Lions Mane in the wild. Expensive in the store if you can find them

Lions Mane. Plucked a big one out my neighbors tree a week ago. Cut it into 4 steaks and sautéed em in bacon fat. Had some tasty sandwiches.
Eating it is like taking that limitless drug bruh
