In traditional Chinese herbalism, practitioners have been utilising the adaptogenic properties of mushrooms for centuries. Adaptogenic mushrooms have been supporting the body’s day to day functions for years, bringing stability and homeostasis. There are specific types of functional mushrooms that have adaptogenic properties, these are eishi, chaga, turkey tail, lion’s mane, and cordyceps.
Mushrooms belong to the fungus kingdom, they are distinct from plants and animals but still qualify as living beings. There are more than 14,000 varieties of mushrooms known in the world. Please don’t confuse adaptogenic mushrooms with psychedelic mushrooms or ‘magic mushrooms’.
Mushrooms don’t have to be cooked for you to receive the powerful benefits. You can incorporate adaptogenic mushrooms into your daily routine with supplements. These are more effective as you’re able to get your daily dose and benefit from many different types all at once.
