Lion’s Mane mushroom or Hericium erinaceus by its scientific name, has a “white hedgehog” appearance, edible mushroom native to the northern hemisphere, with a delightful flavour and uniquely health properties.

It has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a natural remedy for digestive acid ailments, indigestion and ulcers. It has been also used as a general restorative due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and immuno-modulating properties.  More recently, it has been extensively studied for its positive effects on the brain and in multiple applications in neurodegenerative treatments.

Lion’s Mane mushroom is the most abundant natural source of NGF (nerve growth factor) proteins and it represents the single food supplement proved to stimulate regeneration of the nerve cells and to improve overall brain functions. This mushroom is packed with nutrients that improve both cognition and memory.

We use only our best specimen mushrooms for drying, in chunks that can be recognised for authenticity, with no additives and expose them in sunlight to maximise vitamin D addition.

Rehydrate the dried mushrooms  for a minimum 30 minutes in warm water/broth and use in cooking as you’ll do with fresh ones, or powder the chunks to use as supplement in sauces, stews, soups, coffee and tea infusions. Even in dried powdered form mushrooms need some form of  thermal extraction as cooking, to access its beneficial compounds,
