Have you noticed that mushrooms are popping up in a lot of different products lately? For people who have been following the so-called "mushroom revolution" over the last few years, this is not really all that surprising. In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we're going to be digging into the rise of mushrooms in functional nutrition, including an interview with Tara Thies, a Nutrition Strategist from Gainful.
We're also going to be looking at a couple pieces of mushroom news- including one famous author's thoughts about the rollout of proposition 109 and also some relevant new research that is looking at what some of the potential adverse affects of this type of treatment could be.
Enjoy!
