Info on the nootropic value of mushroom extracts

Nootropic Depot just got 9 in today and I haven't heard of a single one of them.
Does anybody have any experience with them? Or better yet, any studies about effects? Are there some that are have been used for a longer time and others that are being used as a nootropic more recently?
I'm interested in where to start looking into this new stuff and all of my mushroom searches came up with Lions Mane.

Nammex does even better, and puts the whole mushroom material used back into the extract
This is interesting, but it raises a question. When buying a regular 10x extract, the implication is that for every gram you eat of the extract, it corresponds to "the good stuff" from 10 grams of the original mushroom. But how is it with your products - how much does 1 gram of your product correspond to in terms of the "good stuff" in the original mushroom? It seems to me that it must be a slightly complex issue ...

That's the thing, it does not really correspond to 10X the good stuff. Nammex's whole spectrum 1:1 extracts have higher beta glucan counts than their more concentrated extracts. They've done testing on it. You'll get higher concentrations of certain things that are soluble in the solvents used. However, you lose some too. That's why we went with their 1:1. We are working with them on doing some higher concentration versions for certain mushrooms. However, we are doing more research into exactly how, so as not to lose any actives.
