I grew up thinking Chinese people ate Monkey Heads

How they did it (according to kid rumors going around in the 1970s) was:

Take 1 Monkey.
Get Cleaver, cut notch in Live Monkey's head.
Monkey then proceeds to boil it's own brains due to the pain caused.
Crack open Monkey head and eat self-boiled brains.

Today I just learned that in China, Lion's Mane Mushroom is called "Monkey Head" ..So I wonder if that was the source of the rumor?

Lion's Mane is really trendy and expensive now but if you live near a decent Chinese grocery I bet you can get it cheap as Monkey Head. Just like how Goji berries used to cost a shit ton of money unless you bought them in a Chinese grocery (for the love of God wash the shit out of them...literally they are sometimes covered in shit ...human and others used as fertilizer)
