Hericium erinaceus

Mild tasting, slightly nutty mushroom with a spectacular appearance.

Description

The pompon blanc is also called wig mushroom because of its special appearance. It also seems as if there are all hairs on the white ball. The mushroom has a sturdy structure and can grow as big as a football. The pompon blanc is best with a maximum size of a tennis ball. Originally from China, this mushroom, like many other mushroom specialties, is now grown on packets filled with sawdust. The taste is soft, slightly sweet and has a bit of nut.

Yummy

Sliced into slices and gently fried in butter, the pompon blanc's flavor and texture really show off. Serve on a salad or in place of meat. The pompon blanc is also used for tempura, because the "hairs" hold the dough batter well. To do this, cut the mushroom into quarters. Do not wash the mushroom. The "hairs" absorb the water and this, more than with other mushrooms, is at the expense of the taste.
