Pom Pom 'Crab' Cakes

Name: Pom Pom 'Crab' Cakes
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 (8 cakes)
Ingredients: 400 g pom pom blanc (lion's mane), torn into chunks; 2 tbsp butter; 1 egg; 60 g breadcrumbs, plus extra for coating; 2 tbsp mayonnaise; 1 tsp Old Bay or Cajun seasoning; 1 spring onion, finely chopped; Lemon wedges, to serve

Torn, seared and flaked, pom pom blanc's fibrous texture is the closest a mushroom gets to real crab meat. Bound lightly and pan-fried, with lemon mayo the resemblance is honestly unsettling.
