Fresh Lion's Mane Mushrooms from Mexico
Fresh lion's mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) resemble white pom-poms with a seafood-like taste, used in vegan crab cakes. As fresh or chilled 'other' mushrooms, they are classified under tariff item 0709.59.90, which covers mushrooms and truffles not elsewhere specified, and are increasingly popular for culinary use.
