At Peak Farms, our mornings begin beneath the Colorado skies, carefully harvesting the delicate, cascading strands of lion’s mane mushrooms. Their snowy-white texture and seafood-like flavor make them a favorite in the kitchen, but lately, lion’s mane has been making headlines for a whole new reason.
In May 2024, Google searches for “lion’s mane mushroom” spiked 450% in the UK, fueled by TikTok buzz and even a mention on the TV series Clarkson’s Farm (NutraIngredients). That’s an extraordinary jump—and a clear sign that people everywhere are waking up to the potential of this remarkable mushroom.
So, what’s driving the excitement? For one, lion’s mane is often associated with focus and mental clarity, making it especially appealing in our always-on world. Some studies suggest it may support nerve regeneration and brain health, while other research points to benefits for digestion and overall resilience (NutraIngredients). While the science is still emerging, the curiosity is undeniable.
At Peak Farms, we love lion’s mane because it bridges the gap between gourmet food and functional nutrition. In the kitchen, you can sauté it in butter for a crab-like flavor, toss it into a stir fry, or roast it for a hearty vegetarian main dish. But for those looking to make lion’s mane part of their daily routine, tinctures offer an easy, concentrated option.
That’s why we crafted our Lion’s Mane Tincture—made from fresh, farm-grown mushrooms, not powders. Just a few drops can be added to your morning coffee, tea, or smoothie for a simple way to tap into the benefits this mushroom is celebrated for. We also offer fresh lion’s mane mushrooms when they’re in season, perfect for cooking at home.
The surge in lion’s mane interest shows no signs of slowing. From viral videos to health-conscious shoppers, this mushroom is capturing imaginations around the world. And right here in Gypsum, we’re proud to grow it with care for our community.
