MARCH 20-21, 2021 MUSHROOMS

There is so much to write about mushrooms. I have blogged on mushrooms for many years. I love mushrooms Mushrooms have many , no countless health benefits.

A fascnating and exciting film about mushrooms is a must see. It is called Fantastic Fungi: The Magic Beneath Us, a documentary film that was released in the United States in October 2019. At the end of April 2020, the film had a 100% rating on both Rotten Tomatoes and Flixster.

The mushroom maven and college and mentort Paul Stametts was in the film. I did courses with him in Olympia Washington years ago when my son was studying primates in that state. Also Andrew Weil, MD who started me on my journey in the Fellowship of Integrative Medicine appeared int he film

There are many exciting topics discussed in the film. Paul introduced me to helping the bee situation with the loss of bees. The use of fungi to reduce viruses in honeybees, which was covered extensively in HerbalGram issue 125, ( of the American Boanical Council )1 is mentioned briefly I would have liked to see more on this topic.

Regardless this is an important film which you must see.

Until tomorrow…
