Our Hericium Erinaceus - Lions Mane is looking great! This particular mushroom belongs to the tooth fungus group because of its spine like appearance.

Lions Mane is used extensively in the culinary world for its delightful flavors, some say akin to that of crab or lobster meat. This fungus also contains significant amounts of bioactive compounds making it a powerful medicinal mushroom as well.

Lions Mane has been said to stimulate the growth of brain cells and protect them from neural damage, as well as help manage an array of other sickness such as anxiety and depression, alzheimers, heart disease, diabetes, inflammation, cancer and generally boosting the immune system.

This is definitely a mushroom we should all be incorporating into our diets. It tastes great and with all those possible health benefits, what is there to lose?

DM for more info on Lions Mane.
