Mario made it clear that shrooms can level you up.
Yet he can't remember that he's being played into single handedly fixing kingdoms for nothing tho.
🤣🤣🤣
Pfff Mario is just an Italian white savior for Nintendo.
Yeah, but when I get hurt I don't drop onion rings, so I guess Sonic was wrong and Mario was right.
Yeah, but Mario also thought that the lizard people were trying to take over the world, so…
They’ve also done studies with Lions Mane Mushrooms and Multiple Sclerosis. It’s really exciting for those of us with MS.
Links?
GC, never heard of the MS connection. I do take Lions Mane twice daily and it is very helpful in improving short term memory... and I do have MS as well though I haven't had a flare up in quite some time, perhaps Lions Mane is the reason.
Antioxidants like polyphenols and flavanols from berries, red onions, red grapes, beets, herbs, spices and cocoa powder can also help you
Omega 3's like fatty fish and algae oil can also help.
@@PatheticHero How expensive are your supplements?
@@celticlass8573 Thanks for info. Though the person I replied to wasnt trying to sell.
My wife has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. I got her started on lions mane mushroom supplements, and it has made a significant difference in... Everything. She's really started to come back to herself, including creative activities.
YES!!! I have CFS/ME too and brain damage, it has helped IMMENSELY!
Can you recommend the brand she is taking if it’s a supplement or are you buying the mushrooms?
That's great news
But
Don't get caught up in causality bias. It wasn't necessarily the supplement that did all the job. It may have played a part, and that's good to understand.
This is happening for me too! I'm just hoping it's long term
@@itsmyright2229 It may not be but it can also be a domino effect where the lions mane gives the boost needed to start working towards a healthier life
could remember several years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Greece. Really need!
YES very sure of Dr.Burkeshroom. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today
I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice! I went on a microdose treatment for a couple of months and within the first week, every sight of a cigarette got me questioning why I was doing all that to myself. It really works.

I will also add that lions mane mushrooms are absolutely delicious and super easy to cultivate even if you’ve never grown mushrooms before. I’ve been growing them in my basement with great success.
Ooooo cool!
On purpose or? I've seen mushroom growing kits.
may i ask what is your substrate and where do you get it? i'm having trouble sourcing some for lion's mane
I will have to look into growing lions mane fungus. My brain needs all the help it can get.
please how? can i have some tips? i love lions mane and i used to take capsules but their just so expensive :(
So glad that shrooms are finally getting the medical recognition they deserve.
Lion's mane mushroom, to be specific.
Lion's Mane are mushrooms but they're not shrooms. They're available otc as a supplement.

Far from being proven to be useful.

I can verify Lion's mane did in fact help me. I was having a lot of trouble remembering things and this isn’t a problem I’ve always had. I noticed getting more sleep and trying to mitigate stress didn’t help.
I read about Lion's mane and tried it. It didn’t take long, I started noticing a difference. Much less brain fog and much easier to remember things. My family noticed and said I stopped repeating myself; so I know it isn’t just wishful thinking on my part. I wouldn’t call this the limitless pill or anything like that, more like restoring the baseline you had already but lost.
@@GhostSal Probably spams that already got removed.
Glad to hear the fungus helped you.
@@19Murad77 Ty
How long has it been helping?
@@SlipperyBannana About 6 months.
Do you mind if I ask if you take the recommended dose on the bottle or do you up the amount? I'm trying to decide if they are helping me including Lion's Mane. I think I feel a very subtle difference on some things.. but I wonder if the people who are REALLY noticing a difference are taking more..
While there have been some studies exploring the potential benefits of certain compounds found in mushrooms for cancer treatment, it's important to note that these studies are still in the early stages and more research is needed.
Very interesting when it comes to pyschedelics and microdosin it really help ease anxiety and depression…how can I make purchase
I had my first experience with doc.coby, it was really great.
How can I reach him…is he on Instagram?
Yes he is doc.coby
These substances are believed to work by altering brain activity and promoting new perspectives and insights. However, it's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms and establish safe.
Sounds exactly like what mind control fungi would make you say!

At least that’s what the stem growing out of the top of my head is telling me to say (jk).
I should add that the Lion's mane mushrooms are very yummy too! In the Chinese vegetarian diet, we use this mushroom to replace meat because it tastes so meaty! I recommend everyone to give it a try ☺️
Mushrooms arent vegetables, in fact they are closer to animals. Meaty in deed..
@@leandroflaherty yea i'm a huge fan of the Archean diet too man
It textures so meaty too! It's very easy to grow from fruiting blocks so if they aren't available where you live you can just grow them! I do it frequently.
Mushrooms are a great source of umami savory flavor. Great alternative for meat for flavor. Just add a plant based protein source,; like tofu, beans or tempeh.
All great parts of a health promoting plant (and fungus) based diet.
@@leandroflaherty Mushrooms are closer to animals, but not sentient, so unlike eating animals, eating mushrooms is ethical.
Its not only brain-healing. My friend was able to heal a nerve pain in her arm with a few weeks of Lions Mane supplementation
I found relief from a herniated disc with lion's Mane mushroom
That's so encouraging, I have neuropathic pain in my legs and feet from insulin resistance, so I hope it works for me too.
@@lilascharmante2712Hi. Just saw your comment. Any update on this? How's it working for you now? My mother is about to start taking lion's mane for same reason. Hopefully this would work. Thank you in advance
Wow
I think I did too. The nerve pain may have been caused by a cat bite. The nerve goes numb where he bites it but then the feeling comes back.
I suffer from severe TBI. I started taking lionsmane mushroom extract about 4 years ago and my life has changed incredibly!!!! I felt like was living with a fog over my brain and one day ot was gone!!! I started going to college, currently working on my Bachelors. Even before my TBI I never though college was a possibility, but the mushrooms literally helped my brain rewire the synopsis that were broken. Mushrooms are magical!!!!!
That was a great experience Lions mane mushrooms 🍄 are the best

Learning new things is awesome 😌
Best of luck in your studies! It sounds like a fascinating field, and from what little I know of it, it probably is.
Yes i m doing business of mushroom and Masters in Plant Breeding and Genetics...but difficulty is that people only eat Button mushroom..
@@ayushdiwakar2515 I love/buy/eat lots of different kinds of mushrooms including (but not limited to) Straw mushrooms, Enoki, Shiitake, reishi, oyster, lion's mane, King, boletes, morels. cremini, portabellas, corals, puffballs, straw mushrooms and several others. I'm surprised that you are finding that people are only eating buttons and wonder if they know what to do with the other kinds. I guess a lot of people just stick with what they're familiar with. Have you tried selling to Asian grocers? Various Asian cuisines use mushrooms much more than the typical American fare, and they use a greater variety than American cuisine too. Also, you'll tend to find more of a market for multiple varieties of mushrooms in vegen cuisines than other types too. Cater to those markets too, and I bet you'll find a niche.
Lara. . .somewhere besides within me there is another teacher doing a fist pump and exclaiming ‘YES!’ Under their breath for any student they have taught anywhere who shows the same enthusiasm for learning new things that you do! Finding new ways to explain the world is fun and always has been.
Mushrooms actually did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom 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 related health challenges.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. 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 Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

They taste incredible. I used to work at a high end grocery store, and it was my job to market new foods. We had some of these come in, and I sliced them and fried them in olive oil with some salt. I took them around for people to try, and people could not believe it wasn't meat. They literally taste like pork tenderloin. They even have striations that look like muscle fiber. I'd love to see these become a mainstream market mushroom. They're very easy to cultivate.
I think if they become a mainstream mushroom, it won’t be natural anymore. They’ll try to create in abundance so unnecessary ingredients will be added
Wow I can’t believe I haven’t had a vendor try to sell me some. We had some crazy mushroom guys always coming in with some bizarre mushrooms, we only ever bought the oysters and portabellas.
Even the powder is yummy. If you like cream of mushroom soup you’ll like the powder.
Big Pharma wouldn’t like that😂

I started taking Lion's Mane a few months ago, and this has definitely been my experience. I started taking a low dose and already noticed a small difference in my general cognitive function (focus and memory specifically, but an improvement overall), so after the first month I added pure Lion's Mane, and am taking it for a minimum of 3 months to give it a chance to really start to do its thing. I'm happy to say that I've seen continued improvements since then.
I just started looking into this, there's so many different brands online and you never know if what you're buying is snake oil. What brand did you go with?

@@nuclearcatbaby1131 they are.
World renowned mycologist Paul Stamets has been harping on this for well over a decade. I've even had a literal neurologist look at me like I was crazy when I mentioned hericenones and erinacines for nerve health. It's refreshing to see scientists in the west are finally taking their effects seriously.
all trained doctors look at you like your crazy. big oil purchased the medical field if its not oil based pills it doesnt work. plant medecine is illegal and looked down on
one of my biggest frustrations with western science is that when they encounter non western health claims, theyre immediately dismissive, which is incredibly unscientific. what should be done is to try to prove and disprove the claim, that way if it ends up being true, we didnt any spend time ignoring something that could be incredibly valuable to us
To be fair: Stamets is a bit of a snakesoil salesman, especially regarding the controversy surrounding the supplements he sells himself :( was quite disappointed to learn about all this because I really thought he‘s a super cool dude.
@@sveenyYes. His products are mostly mycelium grown on rice. Most mushroom medicine is best made with the whole,grown fruiting body.

First found out about lions mane mushrooms when I got into growing my own mushrooms at home. Ever since I've wanted to grow my own lion's mane for the memory benefits.
I also just really enjoy the entire process of mushroom cultivation. Something about a single batch of grain spawn coming from a few spores, being able to birth that into literally hundreds of other jars, it's just magical. So different from cultivating plants because fungus will just consume and fill whatever food you give it. It always feels like I'm watching a hivemind at work.
That only further adds to the wonder when they drop their spores. Because each and every one of those individual spores could birth another colony of the same size. Really makes you understand how unflinchingly efficient they are.
It appears mushroom subject broke some spambots xD
@@Kuba_K rofl that's a new type of spam bot. I'm used to seeing people impersonate the UA-camrs not a drug dealer lol
Would you please recommend a source of a starter kit? Thanks in advance!
@@someguy2135 to be honest I've never used a starter kit for growing mushrooms. Always started with spore syringes.
Lions mane grow in sawdust so you can just use a bag of sawdust with small holes in them. Just did some reading and looks like lions mane can be started by inoculating jars of grain spawn just like most mushrooms. So you would just let the mycelium fully colonize the jar before birthing it to new jars or birthing it into a sawdust substrate.
Honestly upon doing some reading these are gonna be easier than I thought. Always figured mushrooms that grow on wood would be more difficult but these work pretty much the same. Only big difference is the mycelium is apparently much thinner than most mushrooms so it's harder to tell when the grain is actually colonized. I'm excited I wanna go buy a spore syringe and get get started now!
I read a side effect of lions mane is erectile dysfunction…
Please research this more.
I’ve been seeing “gurus” everywhere pushing this. Thank you for providing the facts, now I can buy with confidence lol.

When my son was 8, he had a bad accident that was pretty traumatic. Right after the accident he developed a stutter which get worse very quickly and he also developed involuntary muscle spasms/tics with the stutter. We took him to a speech therapist to get him treated. After a few seasons with the therapist, by complete chance the accident my son was involved in come up in conversation. The therapist then said that this isn't a speech issue, it's PTSD and speech therapy won't help.
I heard about lions mane before and the affect on the brain it can have so i ordered 30 lions mane tablets. One month later my son had no stutter and no tics anymore. I was completely shocked and i was the one who bought them in the chance they'd work, i just didn't think they'd do so much so fast.
This mushroom is very special and can help a lot of people.
My grandmother also had a major accident and a severe brain injury. I just ordered these tablets and I really wish some help could be obtained. I wish she dies peacefully in consciousness than to just pass away without any of it.

LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed.

After doing research I ordered the extract powder from Amazon and 3 days after receiving the extract I took them and 3 days later a huge wave of tingling happened, starting from my arm and in about 4 hours it moved up my shoulder to my neck to my face to the top of my head and to the left side of my head stopping at my temple, that's the area where I had my stroke. I had no idea what was happening I thought I was going to have another stroke, but that was not the case I just had an anxiety attack because of all the sensation. I stopped taking the lion's mane extract from July until November 2021. Once I got over all of the strange sensations that are happening in my body I started taking them again in November 2021. Now a little over a year of taking the extract everyday I have feeling sensors everywhere in the right side of my body. Every few hours I feel more of the muscles in my leg, foot, hand, fingertips, face moving and functioning. The extract is regenerating all of my nerves which is what happened when I had my stroke, all of my nerves degenerated. Although it takes a while I know I will be 100% feeling everything on the right side of my body again I say this with confidence because now I can walk by myself (limping) my hand opens and closes, my fingers move, my arm moves around by itself and much more. This time last year I still had no sensation of feeling on the right side of my body. I still can't feel through my skin, but I can feel under my skin almost everything. Slowly but surely. I hope this helps you, sorry so long. If you want the link of what I am taking just let me know. God bless hope everything works out.

@@cachorrazo hold up. The moment I read tingling sensation you managed to blow my mind. I had those same tingling sensations for the first time right before my psychosis episode started. Thankfully it was a one time episode caused by cannabis which I haven't touched since.
But i've been having them consistently everytime I learn something new and it just "clicks". I've had this weird "hypothesis" that the wave of "tingling" or "electric shock" feeling from the head to the body and back has something to do with either brain growth or the brain transmitting strong signals. I thought I was alone in this but seems like people actually experience those.

Great stuff! Lions manes are some of the coolest looking mushrooms. The number of disparate compounds found in fungus make them absolutely fascinating to me. Not to mention the unique stages of growth and development. It would not surprise me if we one day discover that fungi were responsible for all complex life on Earth.

One of my favorite things to do when the weather is right for it is mushroom hunting (:
So far this year I haven't found any lions mane but I found quite a few other types. I'm actually working on editing a few new UA-cam videos for my channel about them (:
Mushrooms are fascinating. And delicious
If you do make those UA-cams be sure to talk about the extraction process necessary to get the beneficial compounds in lions mane.

Reminds me of something in grounded. Using mushrooms to stay young…
I had brain inflammation from May last year and I was getting worse and in June this year I started taking lions mane and I felt better. But I had done so many other treatments to help my brain inflammation, I was planning to discontinue the mushrooms but I dreamt of goats feeding on them on the side of a hill and I decided it was the mushrooms that actually helped and I will continue to order them. Thank you for this video.
Try other mushrooms too. Like chaga and reishi (for inflamation)
You rock. Thank you for making the world a better and more well informed place!

Thanks for actually reporting what organism research is done in! I just went on a rant about how easy it is to say "in mice" if you're reporting results from mice- and then you guys show how it's done, obviously! Keep up the good work
The hippocampus is only partially the memory center of the brain. It contains the all the maps of real and abstract environments through which mammals navigate when deliberating on decisions. These maps are built out of networks of hippocampal place cells. Memory systems which store the evaluation criteria for those deliberative decisions, and memory systems which support routine, efficient decision-making exist in other brain structures. The basal ganglia is particularly important for creating and storing signal-action pairs and action-action pairs crucial for rapid procedural behaviors.
I've been learning how to better cook mushrooms lately. You can caramelize them in butter over a medium heat. Their almost impossible to burn so its very easy.

Many have known this for years. Combining lions mane with niacin and psilocybin is a popular microdosing regimen.
Hit up ☝️the handle. He ships safely 🍄💊🔌.....
There's a confound in that experiment with the mice being attracted to new things while on the mushroom compared to the other. How do they know it is not because of their memory but because of increased curiosity for example?
glad to see this is catching on! not only is lion's mane delicious, but you can actually feel it and it does really make you feel younger and sharper mentally. extreme clarity. strangely enough colours seem more vivid too.
How do people get access to these mushrooms? I tried talking to my doctor about sirolimus(mtor inhibitor that does like everything the mushrooms mentioned in the video do) after I read a few papers on it and she declined saying the drug has become a standard of care yet for my intended use.

Mushrooms are so good for the body, if you could just get past that visual of what mushrooms look like, don’t let the fungi fool you. Sometimes the main foods we don’t want to eat are the main foods we need to eat, like fungi.
Psilocybin mushrooms MAY help my brain stay young, bit my brain only takes them because it thinks they're fun
You're a fun guy
FYI. There are $20 grow kits for lions mane on etsy. I did one and it made a giant lions mane.
Awesome, thanks!
If these anti-inflammatory enzymes are used in people, is it just memory that improves? Or would it reduce inflammation in the whole body?
Both, but the most important benefit is in the brain. Lion's mane is not the most effective anti-inflammatory medicinal mushroom, rather it's the best neurogenic mushroom. Better options for the rest of the body would be chaga, turkeytail, etc

I'm wondering if it would help my neuropathy?
@@sheliatoledo5898 I guess it depends on what nerves are affected?

You know, while this is really cool you kinda have to wonder…
What are these mushrooms trying to do? What is the evolutionary reason they’re producing this effect in multiple different species?
Is it just a byproduct of something else they’re doing or do they gain something from manipulating nerve growth in brains when eaten?
I wonder that same thing
Immediately thought of the last of us.
Though I love mushrooms and eat fresh lions mane mushrooms weekly.
It’s because mushrooms are a gift to the world!
Without them, life would not exist. They are the largest living thing on this earth. ❤ 🍄 ❤
I mean organic compounds often happen in different organisms for different reasons. I am guessing it's by chance or has some faint contection to this phenomen, but not really
Why would you think the mushroom is to gain anything? The ones eating are to gain something. It is not obvious? The mushroom could gain serving it's purpose while working through the system of anyone who eats it. It goes to work.
Sounds like I should start picking Lion's Mane when I come across it in the woods.

The first two to three weeks I didn’t notice much until I started my new job which is in an office with computers doing tech support. The last similar job I lost it due to my ADD. Regardless of my medications, I still encountered the usual symptoms of confusion and disorientation. I’ve been taking two medications, the second one I had just started (after job loss ) and maybe a week later is when I started taking the lions mane. When I started the new job I was just more than halfway finished with the capsules so let’s analyze this:
Previous job- Because of my symptoms I had a hard time learning the new program. Despite reading the procedures every day that I was there, I felt lost often as well as drowsy. Current job- This one also has the same system as the previous one so I dreaded and feared having to go through the same thing again. But something weird happened. While I started training I recognized almost everything that I had seen from the previous job, including the program, what each process does and other aspects. I’ve NEVER experienced anything like this in my life . The first two weeks in the new job I felt very competent, something I rarely feel. I kept thinking that it was just the two meds kicking in but unfortunately, as I was ending my second week I ran out of the Lion’s Mane. I proceeded with my life towards the third week and the end of the third week which is when I’m writing this. Gradually through the week, my mind started to feel foggy again to which today I made a small blunder to a customer’s account. I’m still training so I let my senior coworker know so he could revise what I did thus correcting it in the end. After I noticed this I almost allowed myself to fall in despair because I don’t want to go through this like last time again.
Conclusively I came back to the seller to order it, but I see that the shipping speed is too slow and I won’t get the product until May. I canceled the order and went with another seller with the same type of product which will hopefully arrive today. I can’t risk waiting for this seller to finally send it over a week later.
In a nutshell it’s a pity that the benefits of Lion’s Mane are only present with continuing doses. According to scientists, Lion’s Mane has been observed to aid in growing new neurons. But once you stop taking it, does it mean that those neurons it helped grow die off???
Studies conducted in rats with Alzheimer's show Lion's Mane enhanced acetylcholine and choline acetyltransferase (the enzyme that produces acetylcholine) levels in the blood and hypothalamus.
Try choline/lecithin supplements (and choline acetyltransferase if you can find one)
Lion's mane is also a blood thinner. It all depends on the underlying cause of your brain fog vs what lion's mane delivers
This is a legit good question.
A lot of stuff dies off when you stop taking healthy food every day.
I've been supplementing with special superfood mushrooms for 20 years and feel the benefits. I've also supplemented with dozens of superfoods and also many other beneficial supplements. I've felt benefits of these for 30+ years. I'm a senior and my hair is still dark and my body weight is still the healthy slim weight I was at 19 years old. I've studied alternative health for 30 years and been to about a hundred health shows. I see the standard american diet as extremely unhealthy and severely lacking in nutrients and overloaded with garbage nutrients feeding a large portion of peoples diets. It's no wonder that 2/3 of Adult Americans are obese, which obesity is the most dangerous for overall health. In this case ignorance is not bliss it is deadly and committed by both the doctors and medical establishments and the citizens focused on trivial activities instead of improving their health and their lives.
What benefits specifically are you seeing?
Can you give me some more of your health tips? Thanks in Advance!!
Is it bad that my main motivation to make a lot of money is to be able to afford as many superfoods as I want? I hope to be like you when I'm older.
@@TheSpecialJ11 It is actually good that you have a priority of being healthy. I have had that because I also wanted to respect myself and eating smart and doing some activities and avoiding constant excesses in anything like junk food or alcohol. Educate yourself on Dr. Steven Gundry's list of foods to eat and to avoid. Also learn to be able to read the food labels and understand the acceptable ingredients and the ingredients to avoid. Avoid anything white, or vegetable oils, added sugar, or soda or fried foods, or only have them once in awhile. I spent about $50,000 in super-foods and powders and supplements and super juices over the past 30 years. I'm in perfect health and a senior with zero medical conditions, prescriptions or aches or pains and all bodily functions and parts still work well. When people really start to load on pounds around the waist it is because they are unhappy and also only care about taste and don't want to study up on health and be in charge of their health instead of leaving that up to a doctor to tell you when you are fat, old and sick, which pill to take to mask the symptom so you can continue ignoring really taking your own health under your control. Just because a food or drink is sold at a store or restaurant doesn't mean it is in any way healthy for you or you won't regret it sooner of later. A healthy person can get away with it once in awhile, however not if it becomes their standard lifestyle, because just because your taste buds love it in your mouth, doesn't mean the rest of your body isn't suffering from what it does to your body when you eat or drink it. One of the most important things in life is to Feel Good now in your thoughts, emotions, vibrational balance and in the stories that you tell. Your thoughts are helping you when they feel good and hurting you now when they feel bad. So clean up your thoughts so they feel good and help you instead of feeling bad and hurting you.
Excellent information !
I'm used to hearing that specific compounds need to be meticulously extracted and delicately refined for anything to work. Knowing that simply eating the mushroom is beneficial is kind of amazing.
Earth is a 4 billion year old alchemist, she knows what she’s doing, as with cannabis, mushrooms contain a delicate balance of hundreds of compounds some that would only be considered trace amounts, all of which play a role in its complicated alchemy, extracting single compounds at a time, like THC, CBD or mushroom extracts like these based on single compounds they suspect to be the sole cause of its effect, never even asking if the delicate interplay between chemicals served a function itself, an apple contains hundreds of compounds, nature isn’t an isolated incident and neither are its mixtures of chemicals, case and point fungi grow in an environment naturally that professional growers would say “isn’t sterile” yet Earth, the great alchemist, does what growers say can’t be done
Yeah because suppliment companies want you to think their extracted compound is what you need. Most "whole" foods work better than specific compounds extracted from them.

The "active ingredients" most likely work synergistically.
No single compound is doing all the work.
