“but also in dried form in powder and capsule form, from health food stores.”
Works great at reducing the weight and bulge of you wallet.
The tincture products are more effective in the case of Lion’s Mane; I can vouch for that myself. In fact, the tincture products provide an unmistakeable beneficial effect to me, whereas dried products give no noticeable effect whatsoever.
Thank you!
...Lion’s Mane is not only easy and fun to grow, but also produces huge delectable fruiting bodies that can be an awesome addition to any meal. As an added bonus- it also boasts some pretty incredible health benefits....
Most mushroom growing is a 2-step process. First you spawn it and wait for it to colonize (take over) the substrate. Then you transfer the colonized substrate to whatever sort of fruiting chamber you're using (which can be a log under the house).
It's not terribly complicated, except that absolute sterility is necessary for the colonizing because the infant fungi have little tolerance for competing fungi, mold or mildew. And it can be done on the cheap. $50 for a very basic set-up (all of which is reusable) and $20 for spores enough to produce several harvests. For that kind of layout productivity won't be the greatest but it still will be well-cheaper than buying from the Piggly-Wiggly.
Plus mushrooms take well to being dehydrated, and some are tastier after rehydration than when fresh. So no matter how large a crop you grow, you can finish them off before they go bad.
Would this be good for peripheral nerve damage that diabetics have?
Slightly off topic but when I saw the thread I just had to post this...

Enjoy !
Bookmarked so I don’t forget it.
My wife and I operate the largest gourmet mushroom farm in Tennessee. We grow HUNDREDS of pounds of lions mane every week, year round, along with shiitake, eleven varieties of oyster mushrooms, chestnut mushrooms, maitake, reishi and several other lesser known varieties. Be VERY careful of the source. Many of these mushroom supplements found online are sourced from China. Could be mushroom powder, could be sheetrock dust. Nobody is checking this garbage coming in. Likewise, most of the big box grocery stores and restaurants now source their specialty mushrooms from China. Your best best is to visit your local farmers market, find your local mushroom farm and buy direct from the grower. Not only will the flavor be better, you know the source.
Cordyceps.... Works wonders for me!
I like lions mane mushrooms very much, but they must be very fresh, and they deteriorate fast.
Checking in! Thanks! Have some and need to start taking it
