All Mushrooms Are Magic
By Cici Dunn
Mushrooms have always pushed the envelope on life to advance. In the beginning of Life on Earth, mushrooms bridged an important gap between plants and the soil that powers photosynthesis and the creation of all plant life. The earliest fossil found on land is a mushroom. As humans being part of Nature, we have evolved with all the plants and mushrooms are definitely no exception. I am convinced mushrooms have always been there to help animals and humans to evolve cognitively, physically, spiritually, and energetically and to keep us connected with Mother Earth. This is Nature’s Psychopharmacology helping brain conditions like Depression, Anxiety, Dementia and Alzheimer.

BUT, there is so much more to them. Medicinal Mushrooms like Lions Mane, Cordycepts, Reishi, Chaga, Maitake etc. as well as Magic Mushrooms all contain powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds called polysaccharides. The Polysaccharides to mushrooms is what Cannabinoids is to Cannabis. The potential of these are enormous. They help prevent and reduce the impact of chronic illness, they help with neurogenesis and the re-generation neurons in your brain (Lions Mane), and they help increase the white blood cell count and regulate the activity of Natural Killer cells that scavenges the immune system for inflammatory ‘bad guys’ like viruses and bacteria. Just like within the soil of an organic garden they are protecting, bridging and supporting the processes within our bodies between our Microbiome (microbes ) and our human cells…. These are just some of the benefits.
Medicinal Mushrooms is almost like the forgotten food group and I advocate for anyone to start incorporating these more into your diet again (Magic Mushrooms are not for everyone but the Medicinal ones are). With the steady increase of environmental toxins in our environment including new artificial frequencies impacting our bodies and brains on cell and microbe level will need this extra immune defense and support to cope and evolve with what we have ahead of us.

As a plant-loving mom I make sure our family incorporates all the medicinal mushrooms in our foods and drinks. We have Lions Mane, Reishi and Chaga in our coffee/tea each morning, Lil’ Nyc drinks it in his hot cocoa and smoothies, and we love the powders and tinctures, and of course, fresh whenever possible.
There is no doubt that; ALL MUSHROOMS ARE MAGIC.
