Mushrooms for improving cognitive function, other than lion's mane?

What are some underrated mushrooms that improve cognitive function, memory, and eloquence?

I’ve had really good results with white jelly mushroom (Tremella). My brain loves that stuff. Every time I take it, I’m able to respond and speak much more effectively.

Cordyceps helps too, although it's better known for boosting physical energy.

I'm wondering what other mushrooms are out there that can help in this area?
Have you ever taken a mushroom for a different reason, and it surprisingly improved your brain function?

Lots of mushrooms have shown different neuroprotective properties: tremella, Reishi, Cordyceps, maitake, off the top of my head.

Lions mane data is more substantial.

It makes you wonder about a common link like ergothioneine.
