Mild, a little sweet, and quietly savory, lion's mane is the mushroom powder for the cup as much as the pot. Whisk half a teaspoon into morning coffee, an oat milk latte, or hot cocoa and it disappears into the drink. Simmer it into broth, ramen, and risotto, or stir it into scrambled eggs and pan sauces for a nutty depth that leans toward seafood more than forest floor. Dried lion's mane ground fine, nothing else.

Fresh lion's mane is the shaggy white mushroom cooks sear like a scallop, prized for generations in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean kitchens. Drying and grinding it keeps that gentle flavor in a form that dissolves in seconds, with no soaking, no chopping, and no searing. We grind ours in small batches in Portland with nothing added.

Single ingredient: ground lion's mane mushroom. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Common Questions

How do I use lion's mane mushroom powder?

Two ways. In drinks, whisk or froth half a teaspoon into coffee, a latte, matcha, hot cocoa, a smoothie, or a bowl of oatmeal. In the kitchen, treat it like shiitake powder: simmer a teaspoon into broth, ramen, soup, or risotto, stir it into scrambled eggs and pan sauces, or mix it into flour or breadcrumbs for chicken, fish, and tofu. Start small and build.

What does lion's mane powder taste like?

Mild, faintly sweet, and nutty, with a savory finish. Fresh lion's mane is often compared to crab or lobster, and the ground powder keeps a softer version of that character. It is much gentler than shiitake or porcini, which is why it works in coffee and cocoa where a stronger mushroom would take over.

Is this a powder or an extract?

A culinary powder. It is whole dried lion's mane mushroom ground fine, the same way we make our shiitake and porcini powders. Nothing is concentrated, isolated, or added. Cook with it and drink it the way you would any spice.

How much should I use?

Half a teaspoon per cup of coffee or cocoa is a good starting point, and one teaspoon per pot of soup or pound of risotto rice. Taste and adjust. More than a teaspoon in a small cup turns muddy, so a light hand keeps it clean.

Why does it float or clump in my mug?

Fine mushroom powder sits on top of hot liquid until it is worked in. Whisk it, use a milk frother, or stir it into a spoonful of hot water first and then top up. In a blender or a simmering pot it disappears on its own.
