The reviews on Lions Mane mushroom are very positive although like many alternative meds, have not been proven in humans. It is supposedly beneficial and preventative for many ailments and sounds like a sensible possibility to try.

Hi, @helennicola - sounds like you've been doing some reading and research on lion's mane mushroom. Thought it might be helpful for other members if you have links to any studies you've read and found informative about this mushroom you might post?

One study I noted in a quick search, conducted in rats, was "Neuroregenerative potential of lion's mane mushroom, Hericium erinaceus (Bull.: Fr.) Pers. (higher Basidiomycetes), in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury (review)." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23510212

Also, here is another Connect discussion specifically on neuropathy and lion's mane, if you are interested https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lions-mane/
