Lion’s Mane (a.k.a. Pompom) mushrooms are large, white, and shaggy, resembling a lion’s mane. Lion’s Mane has both culinary and medical uses, and can be enjoyed raw, cooked, dried or steeped as a tea. Lion’s Mane can taste like crab or lobster if torn into strands and sautéed with butter and garlic. This unique mushroom has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for supporting the brain and neurological health. Biochemical analysis of lion’s mane mushroom found a wide variety of bioactive compounds. Two compounds, hericenones and erinacines, have been shown to induce Nerve Growth Factors (NGFs) biosynthesis in nerve cells. NGFs promote the growth of neurons. Lion’s Mane is given to patients recovering from brain injuries for its regenerative properties.
