Hey there, mind sharing the product? Sounds interesting!
I add Laird Performance Mushroom powder to my coffee… when I can remember. Unfortunately it’s not cheap. I leaned about it from Dr Rhonda Patrick https://lairdsuperfood.com/products/performance-mushrooms?va...
10 ounces for $87. That’s crazy.

Thanks for the link. I just looked at the ingredients list, and it still contains "coffee extract", which I find a bit strange.
thats fine for me, because it literally replaces a liter of coffee per day or even more, and keeps the headache from caffeine withdrawal at bay
Heads up: Safeway brand organics green tea with matcha has an unusually high amount of natural caffeine, like crazy amount. And no coffee jitters due to synergistic effects of l-theanine. Perfectly fine if you can just limit yourself to just one or two cups.

#84This ̶m̶u̶s̶h̶r̶o̶o̶m̶ ̶ fungi is easy enough to grow and cultivate yourself[2][3] - IF - you have time for such shenanigans. I did this last year through summer and autumn in my garage. I'm making no claims about effects or health benefits, but it is tasty and I managed to grow it on a number of substrates (including waste such as brown cardboard and coffee grounds). If you're in the UK (as I am)and you see it wild,…
It's surprising more mushrooms aren't actively cultivated. One thing is the mycorrhizing kinds which are hard to farm, but there are plenty of types which just need the right substrate and some care. Lion's mane, which unfortunately doesn't grow in my country, is one, but there is also sulfur shelf a.k.a. chicken of the woods which I would have thought would be a great candidate for mass cultivation. Shaggy mane inkc…
The "myco space" for want of a better term is very interesting and food is only a small part of that area of operations.

If I had a few more days per week and few spare hundred K kicking around I'd be having a poke at some of this stuff as a small scale business.
I totally agree, it is surprising that fungi and mushrooms (the fruiting bodies of fungi) are not more widely cultivated - especially as use goes beyond food.
I'mn currently experimenting with hollowing out Fomes fomentarius [1] brackets(hoof fungus), polishing them up, flattening the backs and finishing them with hardwax. Not quite sure where this will go but I'd like to see if I could fit battery powered lights in them and use them as odd but quirky reading lights.

Re: Study finds mushrooms magnify memory by boosting nerve growth
#85Anyone whom has taken a psilocybin containing mushroom will tell you that mushrooms have strange and magical powers ranging from deep insight to madness, so it doesn't seem so far fetched that a mushroom can improve cognition. I have found Lions mane, reishi and chaga mushroom supplements taken in combination over a few days have a noticeable effect increasing my calm and keeping me focused. Apparently microdosing wi…

There’s a »psilocybin« missing in the [X] spot. Fungi are an entire biological kingdom, with variety as big as there is from corals to elephants in the animal kingdom. Very, very few fungi are psychoactive.
Re: Study finds mushrooms magnify memory by boosting nerve growth
#86I did some looking around. I have no familiarity with this mushroom nor its medicinal uses. Some thoughts: This mushroom has like 77 known compounds and this study looked at two of them (together, not individually). Western medicine often seeks to isolate "active ingredients" in order to be able to create monetizable drug products. This may not be such a hot idea. My recollection is that malaria is increasingly resis…
Could adapting to quinine derivatives bridge a previously unbridgeable gap leading to quinine resistance? Everything seems to be a web or tied together. Could quinine resistance tip some balance resulting an explosion of malaria?

#88Paul Stamets has been talking about Lion's Mane for years. It is an incredible supplement.
Re: Study finds mushrooms magnify memory by boosting nerve growth
#89Lion’s Mane mushroom is a reasonably safe supplement if you want to experiment. Be warned that it has a reputation for suppressing libido, reducing motivation, or inducing apathy in some people. Some people seem to like it, but it’s not really the miracle mushroom that all of the YouTube ads and podcasts are suggesting lately.
I've been taking lions mane for two years daily and have experienced no such side effects. Anecdotal, of course.
Re: Study finds mushrooms magnify memory by boosting nerve growth
#90I drink a coffee alternative that happens to have Lion's Mane in it. Can't really be objective on if it has really made a difference in my memory since that's not the reason I primarily bought it (it was to get off coffee which is negatively impacting me).
FourSigmatic coffee is real coffee with lions mane. Did you try something else?
