Hericium erinaceus (Chinese hedgehog, lion's mushroom, in Lelley's book: Parsley) is a delicious and nutritious food known for centuries, as well as a valued medicinal mushroom.
The Chinese name of the mushroom is monkey head mushroom, in Chinese culture this mushroom is considered a princely dish.
The Japanese name: Yamabushi-take refers to the latent lifestyle of the mushroom, as the (mostly Buddhist) mountain hermit is called yamabushi in Japanese.
The first western mention of the fungus occurred in 1794. It's named by C.H. Persoon.
