Coral Tooth mushrooms, also known as Hericium coralloides, are a unique, edible fungus known for their delicate, branching, coral-like appearance. They grow in cascading clusters of white spines that resemble underwater coral or icicles hanging from decaying hardwood trees. These mushrooms have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender, almost seafood-like texture, often compared to crab or lobster meat when cooked. Coral Tooth mushrooms are prized in gourmet cooking for their distinctive look and taste, and they pair well with light sauces, stir-fries, or simple sautés. They also contain bioactive compounds that may support nerve health and cognitive function.
