True Guide to Mushroom Tinctures by Dr Donald Wilson Pdf

The term "medicinal mushroom" used to draw snickers and knowing glances, but these days science is recognizing legitimate medicinal uses for mushrooms. Reishi mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, and western science is just beginning to explore their many uses.Medicinal mushrooms such as reishi, chaga, maitake, turkey tail and shiitake contain both water-soluble components, known as polysaccharides, and alcohol-soluble components known as triterpenes. For this reason, medicines made from reishi mushrooms often include a double extraction. This two-step process combines alcohol and water extracts to maximize the medicinal benefits.

Mushroom Tinctures Profound Guide by Michelle Bates Ph D Pdf

Mycelium is a digestive membrane that also destroys many environmental toxic wastes, and has spawned a new science - called 'Mycoremediation'... Partnering with mycelium improves environmental health - outside and inside our body.Mushrooms may even help to save our environment by restoring habitat that's been devastated by pollution, and creating sustainable fuel. Mushrooms are actually the fruit of mycelium, which is a "filamentous, cobweb-like cellular network. The cobwebby mycelium exudes enormous suites of enzymes, antimicrobial agents, antiviral compounds, as it grows in the ground beneath our feet and in the forests around us. There is, perhaps, no other food source surrounded by such magic and mystery as mushrooms. medicinal mushrooms play vital roles in health, such as activating your immune system, naturally fight flu viruses and other diseases, and potentially fighting cancer. Mycelium is the cellular foundation of our food webs, creating the rich soils so necessary for life. When mycelium produces its fruits, the resulting mushrooms last only a few days, which adds to the excitement for wild mushroom hunters.

What is the best medicinal mushroom?What are medicinal mushrooms good for?Are Medicinal Mushrooms Safe?What is the best mushroom to fight cancer? MUSHROOMS THAT ACT AS TURBO-SHOTS FOR YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM THE MAGIC OF MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS Does the thought of medicinal mushrooms scare you off? Take a deep breath and stay with us. Yes, we're going to tell you to put mushrooms in your coffee (among other things). But there's a good reason for this, we swear. Medicinal mushrooms have been used in Eastern medicine for thousands of years and have gained even more popularity as of late. Destined to be taken as powders (they're never meant to be eaten raw or whole), you can find these fungi in all different forms, including ultra-trendy Los Angeles lattes. One of the easiest ways to get your mushroom fix, though? Simply add a spoonful to whatever's on the menu - be it your morning smoothie, veggie stir-fry, or a cup of java. The list of health benefits medicinal mushrooms provide is lengthy (think: brain booster, hormone helper, an antioxidant powerhouse). BUT EACH MUSHROOM IS UNIQUE AND PROVIDES ITS OWN DISTINCT HEALTH ADVANTAGES. Note that these shrooms aren't a cure-all. In fact, shroom studies are still new to Western medicine, and solid evidence for humans still needs far more research. So, think of them more like sidekicks for your immune system or mini-vaccines against stress, inflammation, and cancer. If you want to get in tune with the power of mushrooms, let's get to know the top and what makes them so great. In this GUIDE you'll learn: THE 25 MOST COMMON SPECIES OF MUSHROOMS CONTAINING PSILOCYBIN HALLUCINOGENIC MUSHROOMS STEP 1: LOCATE, AND IDENTIFY THE FUNGUS: COLLECTING, AND GERMINATING SPORES STEP 2: GROW STOCK INOCULA STEP 3: GROWING ON STERILIZED RYE STEP 4: CASING, AND RECASING STEP 5: HARVESTING, PRESERVING, AND DOSAGE A DETAILED REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF HALLUCINOGENIC MUSHROOMS THE 6 TYPES OF HALLUCINATION YOU CAN EXPERIENCE MAGIC MUSHROOMS AND THE ROOTS OF RELIGION HOW TO PREPARE FOR A SAFE PSYCHEDELIC TRIP?

Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation by Tradd Cotter Pdf

What would it take to grow mushrooms in space? How can mushroom cultivation help us manage, or at least make use of, invasive species such as kudzu and water hyacinth and thereby reduce dependence on herbicides? Is it possible to develop a low-cost and easy-to-implement mushroom-growing kit that would provide high-quality edible protein and bioremediation in the wake of a natural disaster? How can we advance our understanding of morel cultivation so that growers stand a better chance of success? For more than twenty years, mycology expert Tradd Cotter has been pondering these questions and conducting trials in search of the answers. In Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation, Cotter not only offers readers an in-depth exploration of best organic mushroom cultivation practices; he shares the results of his groundbreaking research and offers myriad ways to apply your cultivation skills and further incorporate mushrooms into your life—whether your goal is to help your community clean up industrial pollution or simply to settle down at the end of the day with a cold Reishi-infused homebrew ale. The book first guides readers through an in-depth exploration of indoor and outdoor cultivation. Covered skills range from integrating wood-chip beds spawned with king stropharia into your garden and building a “trenched raft” of hardwood logs plugged with shiitake spawn to producing oysters indoors on spent coffee grounds in a 4×4 space or on pasteurized sawdust in vertical plastic columns. For those who aspire to the self-sufficiency gained by generating and expanding spawn rather than purchasing it, Cotter offers in-depth coverage of lab techniques, including low-cost alternatives that make use of existing infrastructure and materials. Cotter also reports his groundbreaking research cultivating morels both indoors and out, “training” mycelium to respond to specific contaminants, and perpetuating spawn on cardboard without the use of electricity. Readers will discover information on making tinctures, powders, and mushroom-infused honey; making an antibacterial mushroom cutting board; and growing mushrooms on your old denim jeans. Geared toward readers who want to grow mushrooms without the use of pesticides, Cotter takes “organic” one step further by introducing an entirely new way of thinking—one that looks at the potential to grow mushrooms on just about anything, just about anywhere, and by anyone.
