As with all supplements, read up on them. Some people are extra cautious with countries f origin (especially China) due to high metals contents.
Some mushrooms just don't taste all that good
and are probably better as a dried supplement, but the Hubby loves Lion's Mane simply cooked and eaten. Lion's Mane has starters and we had a lady at the farmer's market who sold a variety of mushrooms. We may/probably set up a mushroom grow in our garage as well as trying some in the downed trees in the ravine out back. Not all logs work well, some trees have natural repellents and some species of mushrooms just work better with others. We've found this site to give a good breakdown:

The cookbook Wicked Healthy (which I gave away as part of my move) had at least one lion's mane recipe. Personally I love the corn dumpling and broth recipe... They have a website that has some Lion's Mane and other species.
