What is lions mane mushroom?

• The Lion's Mane mushroom is a rare edible and medicinal mushroom that has been cultivated for use in Vietnam, China and Japan. It is primarily used as a replacement to lamb or meat, but now scientists are looking into it for a treatment to neuro-logical diseases. The lions mane mushroom resembles a “pom pom” and the tentacles which hang down resembling “teeth” are used to manufacture and release spores, the "seeds" of a mushroom that allow the fungal organism to reproduce.
• Also known as: Hericium erinaceus or Yamabushitake
• Lions mane mushroom contains polysaccharides and secondary metabolites such as erinacines, hericerins, hericenones, resorcinols, steroids, mono- and diterpenes, and volatile aroma compounds, nutritional composition, food and industrial uses, and exceptional nutritional and health-promoting aspects of H. erinaceus. [14]

What do the studies say about the collagen and cognition trio?

• Tremella benefits (14)
• White fungus polysaccharides may protect brain cells against nerve cell damage and degenerative diseases (17)
• One test-tube study found that white fungus extract may reduce brain toxicity caused by beta-amyloid — a protein that in high amounts has been linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (18) (19)
• Research also suggests that the extract may improve memory. One 8-week study in 75 people found that consuming either 600 mg or 1,200 mg of a white fungus supplement per day improved memory questionnaire scores — especially in short-term memory parameters — compared with a control group (20)
• Similarly, one 14-day study in rats showed that a daily oral treatment with white fungus extract significantly reversed drug-induced memory loss (21)
• Tremella extract efficiently enhances mouse fatigue endurance and anti-hypoxia capability partly through energy reserves and antioxidant enzyme activity. (29)
• Lion's mane mushroom appears to promote neuronal prolongation and formation of myelin^[21]
• One human study using 3g of 98% lion's mane powder showed significantly improvements on a rating scale of dementia in persons suffering from general cognitive decline.^[25]
• Neuroregenerative potential of lion's mane mushroom [29]
• Potential reduction of depression and anxiety by 4 weeks Hericium erinaceus intake [31]
• Nerve growth factor-inducing activity of Hericium erinaceus [32]
• Meshima mushroom is a potential anti-inflammatory agent in asthma treatment [9]
• Meshima mushroom and the benefits [10]
• Maitake mushroom and tumor support [3]
• Maitake and potential immune system benefits [4]
