Beech Mushrooms

Supports brain and nerve health.

A tonic for the brain and nerves, lion’s mane stimulates the synthesis of nerve growth. Hericenones and erinacines, two compounds found in Lion’s Mane, stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that is crucial for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons.

Research suggests lion’s mane may also protect the brain against amyloid-beta buildup, a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease.

Beech mushrooms tend to be bitter when eaten raw. However cooking them yields a flavor mix of sweet, savory and nutty. They offer a satisfyingly crunchy texture to dishes, and add a bit of drama to recipes that show off their long stems. Whether cooked in “bouquets” (clusters) or trimmed to individual stems, sliced, or chopped, these delicious mushrooms are at home in any type of cuisine. They are a perfect everyday pick for veggie dishes and stir-fries, and they are also great to add as a last ingredient to soups, stews and sauces to lend their crisp texture.
