Amazing article. I use Lion’s Mane religiously for my brain and nervous system. I also use reishi, and Turkey Tail. I use many others. And funny enough I use the brands you already mentioned. You really do have to use discretion and discernment with where you are getting them. I believe many of the products today that have these are essentially useless.
It really amazes me how things like medicinal mushrooms and herbs always come back around from our ancient knowing and usage throughout history. Thank you for sharing.
So interesting!! I'm wondering more about mushroom coffee, so many suppliers don't offer dual extract powder, and instead just do dried fruiting body powder to be made into a coffee - they will obviously have some extraction time in the boiling water, but is that enough to get any benefit at all?
Generally you need to cook/simmer mushrooms at least 20 minutes for ones such as lions mane or shiitake, and at least an hour for woody polypores such as reishi or turkey tail to be of any benefit - I'd avoid anything that has just powdered mushrooms, you're wasting $ and they're wasting fungi
This was so interesting and helpful, but I feel like I'm trying to learn a new language 😂 I cant wait for you to post more about this so I can expand my vocabulary 😜
