Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sautéed Lion’s Mane Mushrooms
  1. Begin by gently brushing off any debris from the lion's mane mushrooms, avoiding direct rinsing. Tear into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, combine olive oil and unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely without browning.
  3. Add the torn pieces of lion's mane mushrooms in a single layer to the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Flip the mushrooms gently, add minced garlic and fresh thyme, and sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are crisp and tender.
  5. Season with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Optional: stir in lemon juice and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired, and serve immediately.
