Translated from the Dutch Mycological Society:

30 December 2015 – The lion’s mane mushroom has not been in vain chosen as mushroom of the year 2016. Lion’s mane fungi are mainly found in forests where old trees and trunks are tolerated. Because of its colour, size and shape, the lion’s mane mushroom is one of the most outstanding representatives of this type of forests. An ideal ambassador of monumental beech forests where trunks and ancient trees are available.
