#12TLDR: Lion's mane mushrooms, not magic ones or the common white mushrooms. Link to full text of paper: Hericerin derivatives activates a pan-neurotrophic pathway in central hippocampal neurons converging to ERK1/2 signaling enhancing spatial memory https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jnc.15767
How to best ingest them? And at what dosage? TFA mentions something about "extract" but is light on further details.

#13I took a few pills of "ORIVeDA Lion's Mane Extract Combination Fruiting Body and Mycelium 2-Pack" every day for a few weeks. According to Reddit it's a well reputed brand and supposed to be high quality. It was expensive. Anyway, I noticed zero effects, positive or otherwise.

If only I were a mouse. With all the research papers I've seen on HN over the years, I'm pretty sure I could live to be 200.

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
The effects of lions mane mushroom has been studied in humans before ( https://examine.com/supplements/lionsmane/#research-breakdow... ). This is a study specifically of the mechanism by which those effects arise.
The one human trial there shows no difference between active and placebo groups. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/biomedres/31/4/31_4_231...
> Our results show that HE intake has the possibility to reduce depression and anxiety and these results suggest a different mechanism from NGF-enhancing action of H. erinaceus.
No, it says that there is a possible difference, but the mechanism is not what they thought it might be

You can eat all the cordyceps you want until global warming causes it to mutate to be able to survive human body temperatures. We’ve probably still got a few decades before then.
