An Ancient Superfood
Mushrooms have been used medicinally for thousands of years for their varied and uniquely adaptive health benefits. As functional medicine and holistic nutrition become mainstream, we’re seeing a resurgence of interest in these marvellous superfoods. Pioneering mycologists like Paul Stamets have made significant breakthroughs revealing the power and potential of beneficial mushrooms and, importantly, mushroom mycelium.
Fungi existed before any other terrestrial plants or animals, and they have spent billions of years learning how to adapt to any environmental threat. They play the important role of ecological decomposers while absorbing nutrition from the plant matter they live off of. As a result, mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Shiitake, and Maitake offer an array of health benefits. They share their powers of resiliency and adaptation, and the bio-compounds they absorb from other plants.
In North American societies, our health is often a low priority, and because nuances in our general health and exposure to pathogens go mostly unseen, it’s easy to overlook our vulnerabilities until we’re burnt out or fall ill. Modern treatments for these ailments then tend to rely heavily on pharmaceuticals, which can cause unintended side effects. At Shrooms, we believe in harnessing the immune-building properties of medicinal mushrooms to help take control of our health.
These intelligent organisms have been used in Asia for thousands of years to support immune strength and promote a long and healthy life. They offer us the peace of mind that we are actively providing our bodies with the nutrients needed to keep us healthy and thriving.
"Mushrooms are miniature pharmaceutical factories, and of the thousands of mushroom species in nature, our ancestors and modern scientists have identified several dozen that have a unique combination of talents that improve our health."
