Although you might assume that cooking lion's mane mushrooms could rob them of their many nutrients and health benefits, this thankfully isn't the case. In fact, cooking lion's mane mushrooms actually enable your body to absorb all the nutrients found inside the mushroom more effectively than eating them raw. Although lion's mane is most commonly marketed in capsule form, it's also considered to be an excellent ingredient to cook with, not only because of its nutritional value, but also because of its delicious seafood-like taste.
