Is Lion’s Mane a parasitic mushroom?

Lion’s Mane is not a parasitic mushroom; it’s a type of edible mushroom. It is also known as Hericium erinaceus and is native to North America, Europe, and Asia. It grows on hardwood trees, like oaks and beeches. It is not parasitic, as it does not take nutrients from the host tree; instead, it absorbs nutrients from the decomposing wood. It is a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine and is used medicinally in some cultures.
