Where to look: bearded tooth

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. In Great Britain: protected — do not pick. Wild Bearded Tooth is legally protected under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Photograph it, record the find and leave it in place. Cultivated Lion's Mane sold for food is a separate matter. In other countries, check local protection rules.

Bearded Tooth: the species in brief

How to tell it

A white or cream fruitbody covered in long hanging spines. It grows from wood and often forms a rounded cushion or cascading mass. Other Hericium species can look similar, so identification should still be checked.

Where it grows

On old, dead or dying broadleaved trees, especially beech and oak, usually in mature woodland.
