Message: [QUOTE="alp, post: 161059, member: 4658"] Crikey! I love Romaine lettuce! I tried growing them, without much success as I ate it before it grew to full size. Will try again. So it was the water source, not the lettuce. Poor thing - given a bad name by association! This is even more exciting!

According to the US National Library of Medicine it has a long history of use as a herbal cure in Chinese medicine. Scientists have found the fungus to be rich in components which have been shown to have anti-cancer properties. Its compounds have also been found to alter the immune system, to reduce fat, to protect brain function and to have antioxidant properties. A 2013 study found that H. erinaceus has also been reported to have anti-microbial, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetic, and wound healing properties.
