Nice foraging in looking up high for those arboreal mushrooms! I've climbed trees for Oyster mushrooms, but all the Lion's Mane that I've found have been within reach from the ground. Maybe I've missed some by not looking up high enough!
I'm with you about the tastiness of the Lion's Mane. I like that they can come back in the same spot year after year, too. Good luck with your cloning project, too.
