Montezuma cubensis

Montezuma cubensis, also known as the Montezuma's tear or Lion's mane mushroom's cousin, is a type of mushroom species belonging to the genus Hebeloma.

This plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its potential to stimulate the immune system and increase the production of white blood cells.
