Let’s talk MUSHROOMS 🍄

Maybe you’ve just heard the topic ADAPTGENIC MUSHROOMS and still don’t know much on it or recently noticed your favorite influencer sharing their new-found love for functional mushroom products, and it’s piqued your interest in this emerging food category. There’s even a cool documentary on Netflix called Fantastic Fungi to watch too.

🙌🏼Functional mushrooms are all the rage these days, with more food, drink, and wellness supplement products featuring these esteemed fungi and it’s benefits being shared everyday. In fact, the global functional mushroom market is expected to grow to over 19 billion dollars by 2030.

But what are functional mushrooms, and how do they differ from the shiitake, morel, and button mushrooms you grew up eating? Are the purported health benefits associated with these medicinal ’shrooms legit? —I’m here to help give ya a little 101 today- let’s dig in.

🍄What Are Functional Mushrooms?

The world of mushrooms is wide and includes hundreds of varieties: Some are highly poisonous. Others have psychedelic properties. Some are edible, healthy, and perfect ingredients for culinary pursuits. Then there are mushroom varieties with particularly impressive health benefits when consumed, including functional mushrooms.

Functional mushrooms are mushrooms that have adaptogenic properties and health benefits beyond that of their nutritional value.

🍄What are adaptogens?

Before we dive into adaptogenic mushrooms, let’s quickly touch on adaptogens!

Adaptogens are medicinal plants or plant parts, such as whole herbs, leaves, roots, and/or “fruiting bodies” (i.e berries or mushrooms), which may help us physiologically, mentally, and emotionally respond and adapt to stressors with more ease and resilience.

Adaptogenic herbs work by beneficially altering the mechanics of our stress response system on the cellular level. They also help us through modulating (balancing) an overactive or underactive immune system by beneficially altering our white blood cell activity.

🍄 What are adaptogenic mushrooms?

Adaptogenic mushrooms are a specific group of medicinal mushrooms that hold adaptogenic properties, meaning they work synergisticlly with your body to bring you more into balance. These mushrooms have been used for centuries (if not millenia) in traditional medicine practices, particularly in Eastern cultures.

Today, these functional mushrooms are gaining recognition worldwide due to their wide array of potential mental, emotional, and physical health benefits.

🍄 What are the functional mushroom adaptogen benefits and uses

Research is uncovering how these special plant allies can potentially help us to combat inflammation, promote healthy microbial diversity, balance our immune systems, adapt better to stress, enhance cognition, and lots more.

Many people are not big fans of eating mushrooms, and even if they do they only get a few here and there. A mushroom powder supplement is the perfect add to your routine. You can add it to a smoothie, morning tea or coffee, soups and even sprinkle on top of oatmeal

The only ingredients are 5 adaptogen functional mushrooms: Reishi, Lions Mane, Chaga, Sh*take and Maitake
