Lion's Mane is a type of medicinal mushroom known for its distinctive appearance, resembling a white, fluffy mane. Scientifically called Hericium erinaceus, it grows on hardwood trees and is commonly found in North America, Europe, and Asia. This mushroom has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in Chinese medicine. Rich in bioactive compounds, Lion's Mane is believed to support brain health and cognitive function. Research suggests it may promote nerve growth factor (NGF) production, which is essential for the growth and maintenance of neurons. Additionally, it is often consumed as a dietary supplement or in culinary dishes for its potential health benefits.
