About Coral tooth mushroom

Coral tooth mushroom is a common name for a distinctive branching mushroom, also known in English as lion's mane. Its fruiting body has pale, tooth-like hanging projections that give it a fringed or shaggy appearance; the catalogue name does not specify a particular species by binomial.

It is encountered as a mushroom food, fresh or prepared, and may be used as an ingredient in cooked dishes. The texture and flavour depend on condition and preparation. This common name should not be treated as evidence that every record refers to a confirmed species identification.
