Top 10 Tips to Live Healthier from ZOE Science & Nutrition - download our FREE guide: zoe.com/freeguide
They’re not a plant or an animal - fungi are their very own kingdom of life. And their unique composition means they offer novel, often unbelievable, benefits to our health. Certain species of fungi are currently used to treat conditions ranging from cancer to depression.
The love of mushrooms (or mycophilia) has grown in recent years. And at the heart of this movement is biologist Dr. Merlin Sheldrake, author of the bestseller Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures.
In today’s episode of ZOE Science & Nutrition, Jonathan, Merlin, and ZOE Co-Founder Prof. Tim Spector ask: Why are mushrooms so special?

Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.

@AaronNelson-qt3qy Месяц назад

I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Spain. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

Another fantastic way to introduce mushrooms to your diet while getting rid of your Amazon packaging and/or clearing your garden is to buy a mycelium kit and grow some at home. Winecaps, Shitake's and Oysters are ridiculously easy to grow in the UK and once you have them established you can feed yourself for years.

I have metastatic breast cancer. I take a variety of mushroom supplements plus the fresh and dried ones I use in the foods I prepare. I think the mushrooms have helped the various anti-caner medications, I've taken, work longer then they would have if it wasn't for the mushrooms.

Loved the analogy of Merlin S, where he described his ordinary brain as a 'garden', that under the influence of the researchproject with LSD opened up so he experienced a much larger world outside that garden, that gave insight in the relativity of gardening (around minute 30). I had a similar breakthrough experience without LSD and without mushrooms. Once you are aware of this bigger picture you must integrate those bigger insights so others can see them, too. Thanks Merlin, for doing what you do. Also loved that Tim S described how the use of certain mushrooms helps in cancer treatment. Now presented as making chemo- therapy 50% more effective, it may effectively be the other around. Chemo kills some cancers effectively, but killing is not the way to heal. Mushroom may help dissolve cancer somehow. Big Pharma kills (the 'brain solution') whereas mushrooms may dissolve and heal (the wholistic, natural solution). Time will show, I guess...

I have been interested in them since I was a teenager, especially the edible varieties, and always look forward to the different fruiting seasons. I am writing at the beginning of May, and today enjoyed a dish of lamb stew with St George's Mushroom, which was delicious. Later in the year, there will be Hen of the Woods, Chanterelle, Parasol, Penny Bun, Oyster, Velvet Shank, and a host of other, fabulous fungi to enjoy. Even the tough bracket fungi, such as Artist's Bracket, Birch Polypore and King Alfred's Cakes have their uses, as food, medicine, wound dressing, or tinder. Thanks for a wonderful session.

A really fascinating discussion here. I must say the British are (still) comparative strangers to the joy of wild fungi. Even local pharmacies in rural France will happily take your collected forage and send them off to a laboratory for certain identity. At least we're now talking about the subject. A word to the wise: try to hunt down Wood Blewits (Lepista Nuda) which require cooking. They're hard to confuse with anything really nasty and even survive the frosts of winter. BUT ALWAYS make sure of identification of anything you intend to use in the kitchen.

I’ve just started a subscription with The Mushroom Barn. Great for getting a variety of mushrooms and fresher than supermarkets

@susanbloor8541 2 месяца назад

@@JohnHostetter-nm1jw Rude and nonsensical. Saying that you’re buy mushrooms by subscription says nothing whatsoever about health. It’s just alerting others who may like mushrooms for whatever reason where to get them.

@susanbloor8541 2 месяца назад

As I point Ted out, As I pointed out , I wasn’t trying to say any about health ( although I’ve a lot to say, but I doubt you’d cope! ) I was simply giving a steer as to a good place to buy for freshness and variety.

Just getting into the miraculous mushrooms, next...buying the book. I had some bella baby mushrooms and i noticed within 24 hrs that ...I slept better, and went to the bathroom 2X in 1 day! Seems like they cleaned me out. I am new to mushrooms...i am 72 yrs young, and feel great, its been a journey for my whole life, and now when i probably need something miraculous in my life, the Good Lord has put mushrooms in my life. Its been 2 days. And i intend to eat them everyday. Can't wait to order the book.

So pleased Merlin mentioned mushroom soup, one of my favourites, which I usually make with a good chicken stock, but I'll definitely be giving the Miso base a try very soon 👍

.. I had a feeling Tim was going for the "...it's been fun... guys" at the end of the podcast....but alas no.🤣 Another highly informative and very enjoyable podcast from the ZOE team. 👍👍🙂🇬🇧

Very lucky here in Singapore, there is a wide variety of mushrooms and they are plentiful and cheap. I love to dehydrate slices of King oyster and grill shiitake with 5 spice to make a filling for pancakes like peking duck

Love these Zoe podcasts. So informative. I’m surprised however that there was so little said about Lion’s Mane.

Love that this dropped into my feed. Dunno how they knew but I’m on my second listen. Yes to the ‘shrooms! Put them in all of your sauces (now I know to cook them for my salads too :)) cheers!
