What Is Lion's Mane Mushroom? Lion's mane is a mushroom species found growing in temperate forests around the world. In its raw form, the fruiting body of lion's mane is used as a food with a characteristic lobster taste. Supplemental forms of the mushroom have little to no flavor but offers a powerful array of health benefits on the brain and peripheral nervous system. One of the primary benefits of lion's mane is its effects on nerve growth factor (NGF). This hormone-like compound is used to stimulate the formation and repair of nerve cells around the body. This gives lion's mane the unique ability to support recovery after injuries, support memory, and protect the brain from age-related cognitive decline.
