But, despite what you might think of the taste, mushrooms have been proven as powerful adaptogens that promote healing with strong anti-inflammatory properties. Some types of mushrooms – such as lion’s mane, maitake and cordyceps – have even been studied for their ability to improve mental focus, enhance nerve growth in the brain and protect against degenerative diseases like dementia or Alzheimer’s....
