While Hericium erinaceus [Lion's Mane fungus] is a favourite of mine...

home and eaten it every time I've found it for the past 15 years - probably
well over 8 pounds of it in total over that time)...

... it's also true that I was diagnosed with MS just 11 years ago, and that
its attendent symptoms have persisted and progressed despite chronic and
fairly prodigious consumption of these fine, fleshy fungal fructifications.

Mind you, I eat them (and thoroughly enjoy them) for their taste and texture
alone... so I'm not gonna whine about them just because they've been an
utter failure for me as MS medicine. :-)


Also called Monkeyhead Mushrooms. Lions and monkeys, what a zoo, eh?
