Nice work putting a word very similar to ‘magic’ next to a positive mushroom related study title. Gotta remember this trick.
Great observation. Are there categories of clickbait? I wonder what you'd call this one?

You mean you found the person who approaches bold claims with an appropriate amount of skepticism in a world increasingly inundated with hyperbolic or even outright misleading headlines? And then goes the extra mile to share their findings and constructively communicate their concerns to others who might also be subjected to the same hyperbole? Yep, found them.
This place has become even worse than Reddit as karma farming goes…

#73This is yet another tiny study paid for by the company selling the supplement. Medicalxpress.com? really guys?
same deal with people advocating for taking MDMA or psilocybin to treat their depression

#75I drink a coffee alternative that happens to have Lion's Mane in it. Can't really be objective on if it has really made a difference in my memory since that's not the reason I primarily bought it (it was to get off coffee which is negatively impacting me).
Me too, https://spacegoods.com/ and I can confirm it eliminates the need for coffee during the day as well as it helps for staying in the zone a bit
Thanks for the link. I just looked at the ingredients list, and it still contains "coffee extract", which I find a bit strange.

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...
Fantastic! With mice in vitro you had no idea if there was an effect, with this study you have evidence there is no effect!

You don't generally "take" lion's mane mushrooms, you just eat them. As they are tasty, and won't give you any trips, neither to the emergency room or to nirvana.
Edit: apparently this is a thing now, and this culinary treat is also a nootropic fad.

#79This ̶m̶u̶s̶h̶r̶o̶o̶m̶ ̶ fungi is easy enough to grow and cultivate yourself[2][3] - IF - you have time for such shenanigans. I did this last year through summer and autumn in my garage. I'm making no claims about effects or health benefits, but it is tasty and I managed to grow it on a number of substrates (including waste such as brown cardboard and coffee grounds). If you're in the UK (as I am)and you see it wild,…
It's surprising more mushrooms aren't actively cultivated. One thing is the mycorrhizing kinds which are hard to farm, but there are plenty of types which just need the right substrate and some care. Lion's mane, which unfortunately doesn't grow in my country, is one, but there is also sulfur shelf a.k.a. chicken of the woods which I would have thought would be a great candidate for mass cultivation. Shaggy mane inkcaps have terrible shelf life, so I understand why those aren't cultivated, but it should also be fairly straightforward to do on a small scale.

thats fine for me, because it literally replaces a liter of coffee per day or even more, and keeps the headache from caffeine withdrawal at bay
