Description
Lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a culinary and medicinal mushroom that naturally grows on hardwood trees in cold climates, but can also be cultivated indoors. When fully mature, it has a fuzzy appearance which can look like a white lion’s mane, hence the name. Lion’s Mane powder is a fundamental ingredients in Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, specifically to support the nervous system, since it’s thought to improve mental health, memory, and thinking skills. It also contains many important nutrients, including B vitamins, zinc, and potassium. When the fresh mushroom is dried and ground into powder, it has a very mild flavor and is very convenient to include into your routine; you can add half a teaspoon of it to your normal meals, or simply brew it in hot water and drink it as a tea.
While the latest trend is to take medicinal mushroom powders in a hot drink, such as coffee, you don’t have to. As lion’s mane has such a mild flavour, it goes really nicely in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to smoothies and oatmeal. It can negatively interact with medications, so consult your doctor before including it into your diet.
