During this lecture, I will discuss the latest research on an extraordinary mushroom species: Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus). This mushroom contains erinacines and hericenones, which have proven nootropic effects, as well as benefits for the microbiota, immunology, neuroprotection, and neuroplasticity. The versatility of Lion’s Mane’s health benefits continues to surprise researchers. We will explore all the key areas in which this mushroom influences both our mind and body.
