Mushrooms: An Ancient Remedy For Modern Problems

06 January

These days everyone could use a little Fungi in their life. Mushrooms are vital in their function in everything from balancing ecosystems to providing a wide range and unique profile of active compounds to your medicine cabinet. One of my absolute favorites, Reishi or known as Ganoderma Lucidum has been used in chinese medicine for thousands of years. It’s even called “Lingzhi” which translates into divine mushroom or mushroom of immortality.

Fungi are a billion years old. Probably. Maybe even older – like, another half a billion years older. Maybe more.

Stop to process that for a second.

If you look at the history of the earth as a 12hr clock, man shows up at about 11:59 and 58sec. Civilization starts about a tenth of a second ago.

Fungi have been here since at least 8:00. Maybe longer. Maybe a lot longer.
