THE HASSLE-FREE, READY-TO-FRUIT SOLUTION FOR GROWING LION’S MANE AT HOME

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) has been cultivated and consumed in Asia for thousands of years and has a long history of traditional use in relation to cognitive wellbeing and mental clarity.

Today, Lion’s Mane is being studied for its potential cognitive-supporting properties. Research indicates that Lion’s Mane contains terpene compounds known as hericenones and erinacines, which are able to cross the blood–brain barrier and may be associated with the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). NGF is a protein involved in the maintenance, development, and repair of neurons.

In addition to its potential cognitive benefits, Lion’s Mane is a highly versatile mushroom. It can be cooked fresh, dried, made into extracts, or brewed as a tea. Lion’s Mane is also well known for its culinary qualities and is often used as a meat alternative thanks to its texture and flavour, which are frequently compared to crab or lobster.
