How Do Mushrooms Grow?

 



During our first episode with Alex Chamizo, we talked about the remarkable properties of functional mushrooms. 

Alex said there are different kinds of mushrooms that have properties that can help our bodies.

 He told me about how cordyceps help oxygenate our blood cells. 

Alex also mentioned that Lion's Mane looked like a brain and that helps with our neurons and brain growth. There are different types of mushrooms that help with our body and health in unique ways.

They are magical, but they do not make you hallucinate. You can still go to work, and you can drink these mushrooms!

Taking these mushrooms every day befor work can give us a little boost. 

Our conversation inspired me to investigate further…

How Do Mushrooms Grow in Nature? 

What is their primary process? 


The more giant the mushroom, the longer it takes to grow. 

Mushrooms are in the fungal kingdom. Mushrooms don’t need light to grow; Instead, they break down organic material and extract the nutrients of decaying matter while cleaning up our environments and providing nutritious food!





Mushrooms release spores when they reach full maturity. 

The gills release the spores when they’re ready to expand their terrain. The gills are located under the mushroom cap. This allows the spores to travel beyond their fruiting body. 




When the spores germinate, they become hyphae.

Hyphae can be either male or female. Therefore, we can compare the hyphae to Hyploids in human cells.



However, they must link up by gender to be complete.

Once the hyphae pair up, they are considered mycelium; they go from hyphal knots to pinheads. 




Pinheads are considered baby mushrooms.

The iconic cap of the mushroom is the fruiting body of the mushroom. The root is Mycelium. When the Mycelium picks up nutrients and pushes them towards the surface of the earth, it sprouts into a pinhead. 





This stage is where the mushroom begins to sprout from the ground. 

As it matures, it will become its iconic mushroom fruiting body. Then, when theyre environment calls for it, they are free to start the cycle again;




Or until we pick them up!

Understanding Empathic Overwhelm: How to Recognize and Manage It  Empathy is a powerful and beautiful trait, allowing us to connect deeply with others and understand their emotions. However, for empaths, this gift can sometimes become overwhelming, leading to a state known as empathic overwhelm. In this blog post, we'll explore what empathic overwhelm is, how to recognize it, and share some practical strategies from our recent podcast episode with Jennifer Moore, an expert in empathic sensitivity, on how to manage it effectively. What is Empathic Overwhelm?   Empathic overwhelm occurs when an empath absorbs too much emotional energy from those around them, often to the point where it becomes difficult to distinguish between their own feelings and those of others. This can lead to emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and even physical symptoms such as headaches or fatigue. Empaths who are not aware of this phenomenon may find themselves feeling drained and confused, unable to pinpoin...

In fact, this mushroom has so many therapeutic properties that it would be impossible to list them all. Below we'll go into some of why lion's mane has become a staple supplement in my routine. REGENERATE AND PROTECT BRAIN TISSUE It can help protect against Alzheimer's disease. In a study conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida, scientists discovered that the lion's mane mushroom may be able to protect brain cells from damage. The study was published in the journal Phytotherapy Research and found that extracts from the Lion's Mane mushroom could prevent amyloid protein formation (which causes plaque buildup in the brain). In addition, it showed that lion's mane extract could reduce inflammation, helping keep your b...

Eugenics on The East Coast

The influence of eugenics on the east coast By Samantha Aiko Introduction  Eugenics was a movement that began in the early 20th century based on the premise that specific groups of people were of a master race. This idea was first popularized by Francis Galton, an Englishman influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection. He believed that genius could be passed down through genes, but he also believed that negative traits could be controlled and eliminated from society. Eugenicists around the world took up this mantle, including America where eugenicists like Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller Jr funded institutions dedicated to eradicating diseases like mental illness from our gene pool altogether. Their efforts resulted in over 60% of institutionalized Americans being sterilized against their will - with many believing it would prevent them from passing down mental illness or chronic disease to their children." Eugenics was a movement that began ...
