Lion's Mane Mushroom

Lion's Mane or Bearded Hedgehog – for additional support to the body.

The Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a mushroom that thrives best on dead trees. It is recognizable by its long white strands, resembling a beard, but also a lion's mane. And precisely because of this similarity, in European lands, the Lion's Mane is also known as Bearded Hedgehog.

Although Hericium erinaceus is less known in our country, it has long been valued in China. There, it is used both in diet and in herbal tradition, where it has earned various names due to its effects, such as "smart mushroom" and "brain food."

According to Chinese herbal tradition, Hericium erinaceus is "brain food."
