medicinal mushrooms
Mushrooms play a critical role as nature's healers within ecosystems,
supporting trees and plants, particularly in forests harmed by bacterial infestations or pollution. For instance, when forests are impacted by contaminants, such as airplane emissions or chemicals from local factories, mushrooms absorb these toxins from the forest floor, and convert the harmful pollutants into organic spores that are released back into the environment.
The parallels extend to the benefits for humans, as the mycelium can aid in maintaining a healthy human biome, the internal ecosystem of the body. Just as mushrooms combat detrimental elements in the forest environment, they also play a role in attacking harmful cells and cancers
within the human body.
I recommend the following medicinal mushrooms to keep the human biome clean: (powder form has the best bio-availability)
Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Turkeytail, Shitake, Agaricus Blazei and Lion's Mane: Lion's Mane is especially good for cognitive function, concentration and memory

Lion's Mane in particular has been investigated for its neuroprotective properties. It helps protect neurons from various neurotoxic damage, including oxidative stress and inflammation, which can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. Some studies suggest that Lion's Mane may help reverse dementia and Alzheimer's by promoting nerve growth factor (NGF) production, enhancing
cognitive function and memory.
