Also known as Yamabushitake or Mountain-priest mushroom, Lion’s Mane is a culinary and medicinal mushroom revered for its potential neuroprotective and antioxidant properties. Studies suggest it may enhance cognitive function and alleviate symptoms associated with neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. ​
