About Hericius

Hericium (Hericium erinaceus) is a mushroom with a fascinating appearance and significant medicinal effects. It gets its name from the shape of the fruit, which resembles a sea coral or a lion's mane. Hericium is edible and very tasty. It does not have the classic, slightly bitter mushroom taste, but is rather sweet and reminds many of crab or lobster meat in texture and taste. This unique taste makes it a popular ingredient in the kitchen. However, hericium is not only a food, but also a powerful medicine that is used in traditional Asian medicine, especially Chinese medicine. Even the North American Indians knew its healing powers - they used the powder from this mushroom to disinfect and stop bleeding of open wounds. Thanks to many studies and scientific researches that have confirmed its healing effects, the demand for this mushroom has increased. Hericium is now grown commercially, either outdoors on trees or indoors on hardwood sawdust. Hericium has a firm place in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is used to harmonize the Wei (Stomach) and Pi (Spleen), thereby promoting healthy digestion and balancing the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the body. It helps with conditions that Chinese medicine refers to as "heat in the stomach" and has a positive effect on the psyche, used for stress somatization. Hericium is now also called "natural neuron nutrition" for its benefits to the nervous system. Hericium is therefore not only a culinary delicacy, but also a valuable tool in traditional medicine, which has won admiration and respect around the world.
