๐Ÿ„ What's the deal with Lion's Mane? What even is ergothioneine? And are mushroom tinctures or powders more effective?

In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by Lee Carroll of Real Mushrooms to unpack some of the most common myths โ€” and truths โ€” about medicinal mushrooms.

We dive into: โ€“ The difference between alcohol extractions vs. mushroom powders โ€“ How to spot quality mushroom supplements โ€“ Why some people are mycophobic (fearful of fungi) โ€“ What ergothioneine is โ€” and why Lee calls it a vitamin โ€“ How Lion's Mane might actually work in the body โ€“ Product updates and behind-the-scenes from Real Mushrooms

Whether you're deep in your mushroom era or just myco-curious, this one's for you.
