Discover the power of Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) with this Boscum cultivation bag, ideal for both microdosing enthusiasts and those looking for a high quality gourmet mushroom.
Microdosing and cognitive benefits of Lion's Mane mushrooms
Lion's Mane has made a name for itself in the world of microdosing for its ability to improve memory, enhance neuroplasticity and reduce stress. Its bioactive compounds such as beta-glucans, hericenones and erinacins stimulate the production of NGF (neuronal growth factor), helping to regenerate neurons and prevent cognitive deterioration. In addition, its natural GABA content promotes relaxation and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Combination of Lion's Mane and Psilocybe microdosage
For those already microdosing with psilocybin, combining Lion's Mane with Psilocybin can enhance its effects. Ideal strains for this are Whitebilly or Golden Teacher. While psilocybin modulates serotonin receptors and promotes changes in perception and mood, Lion's Mane acts on hippocampal neurogenesis, helping to consolidate long-term cognitive benefits. This synergy can enhance creativity, reduce stress and promote a balanced state of mind.

Lion's Mane: A gourmet mushroom with a unique texture
Apart from its neurological benefits, Lion's Mane is also an exceptional gourmet mushroom. Its texture, often compared to shellfish, makes it a delight in the kitchen. With a mild, slightly sweet flavour, it can be prepared sautéed, in a sauce, or in soups and creams to add a gourmet touch to your dishes.
The substrate includes growing instructions to ease your way to a successful harvest.
