I'm based in London and wondering if there are places to buy lion's mane whole?
You can sometimes buy it here dried but it’s normally sold out.

Be aware of DAWS risk if taking Mucuna Pruriens.
What is DAWS
Dopamine Agonist Withdrawal Syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23686524/
A Mucuna pruriens extract can have significant levels of L-DOPA, a precursor to dopamine.

I add Laird Performance Mushroom powder to my coffee… when I can remember. Unfortunately it’s not cheap. I leaned about it from Dr Rhonda Patrick https://lairdsuperfood.com/products/performance-mushrooms?va...
This brand, along with most other US sourced products (including Paul Stamet's brand) contains more biomass (the grain substrate on which mushroom grows) than the mushroom itself. For instance, one of the FAQ on their site states it has 2g of starch per 2g serving! I am looking for a good lion's mane supplement in the US too but I haven't found a good one yet.
The supplement industry is in sorry state. It hurts to see people throwing away money on useless products on Amazon.
Real Mushrooms is the only mushroom supplier I trust. (No affiliation, you can find discussions about them on Reddit)

#116Just throwing this out there as a neurodegenerative in remission. It's not the main reason why. But I can definitely tell when I haven't taken my Lion's mane caps that morning.
This after years of elimination, trial and error out the necessity survival. It's worth a human trial once we can actually measure the effects.

#117The following will out perform every fancy nootropic: Drink as much water as you can. Breathe clean air. Walk. Get as much sleep as you can. Lift something heavy regularly.
Incorrect. This is a fanciful notion quite frankly that is more a romantic idea than anything grounded in reality

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 inkc…
Chicken of the woods has an odd texture. Kind of gritty. So though it's abundant where we live, most mushroom hunters don't pick them. Cutting off and eating just the edge gives you a better texture than the entire mushroom.

can you say more about your experience? what issues did you have and what else are you doing/have tried?

as I understand it some people cannot digest it well either. It doesn't really grow in any woodlands around here so I've not had a chance to taste it.
