Bears Head Mushroom
Hericium americanum
10 cc/mL liquid culture
Hericium americanum is a North American member of the family Hericiaceae and belongs to the genus Hericium, a group that also includes H. erinaceus and H. coralloides. It is particularly useful for comparative work because Hericium species can be difficult to distinguish using appearance alone, and modern identification has incorporated microscopic and molecular characteristics alongside traditional taxonomy. The species is documented primarily from eastern and central North America, giving it a distinctly regional place within the genus. Older literature may also contain specimens or records that were identified more broadly as Hericium coralloides, making historical references especially relevant when researching this taxon.
