lionsmane mushrooms

Lionsmane mushrooms also sold as pom pom blanc are a gourmet mushroom species containing compounds called erinacenes. Erinacenes boost the activity of NGF-1 (nerve growth factor) promoting neurogenesis and the creation of new nerve pathways. They are currently under clinical trial in alzheimers, ms, hypoxic brain injury and other medical applications. given that I am an old geezer in chess terms (mid 30s and just starting chess) I don't have the advantage of neuroplasticity that these 7 year old kids have who end up rated 1800 by the time they are 12 years old, I have started adding lionsmane mushroom to my diet to see if it will accelerate my learning ability. I have been playing about a full 2 months now and am rated 1100 in rapid (when I first started my rating dropped to 575 as I literally had no clue what I was doing). My goal is to be rated 1600 by the end of this year. Wish me luck!

Good luck. I am taking the same, but do not play games frequently. My tactics score has climbed around 300 points. 

Psilocybin mushrooms are also known to have these effects.

Did the lion's mane have any effect?
