Power of nature
In addition to their ability to colonize, mushrooms have developed an innate hardiness over many millennia. This gives them a natural advantage in a range of habitats, from the Chaga mushroom in Siberia – which can survive temperatures of -40°C – to the high Tibetan plateaus where a rare species of Cordyceps fungus lives.
Mushrooms
The use of mushrooms dates back to ancient times and has a long history. Both Reishi and Snow Fungus were considered “superior” herbs. Cordyceps was so highly regarded that it was once consumed exclusively by the Chinese royal family.
Mushrooms today
In Japan, both Maitake and Shiitake mushroom extracts are routinely used. Other mushrooms, such as Lion’s Mane, have also excited the community. Research has identified a wide range of properties in mushrooms such as Reishi, including a group of bioactive triterpenes called ganoderic acids.
