Functional mushrooms are getting more and more popular everyday. But it's not the mushrooms themselves that have people are flocking to these powerful fungi... it's the compounds inside!
Although beta-glucans and triterpenes are often considered the most important active compounds in mushrooms, there is another compound that is starting to get a lot more attention. It's called Ergothioneine, and some scientists argue that it is so critical to human health that it should be classified as a vitamin.
In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we are going over everything you need to know about this important compound, including an interview with Chief Medical Herbalist at Real Mushrooms, Lee Carroll.
We're also digging into a couple pieces of mushroom news- including a potential new way that mushrooms can be helpful for life in space and a way to combat mosquitoes with the power of mycelium.

Finding mushrooms is great- but you can't keep your finds forever. Unless of course you take part in the FREE global "mushroom hunting" event where instead of looking for mushrooms, you're looking for mushroom themed art! It's called "Game Of Shrooms" and it's one of the coolest things happening in the mushroom community.

In this episode, we're going over everything you need to know about the event, including an interview with the guy who started it all, Daniel "Attaboy" Seifert.
We're also going to be digging into one of the most interesting but lesser known potential use cases for psilocybin, and it's history being used for for Cluster Headaches. These horrendous headaches have been described as one of the most painful that a human can experience... Mushrooms to the rescue?
