Mushrooms are taking over the world! Not literally of course, but with their rising popularity in cooking, functional nutrition, technology and culture, you may think that they can do no wrong these days. Which is why it seems
crazy to see a group of restaurants actually banishing them from the menu!
In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we take a look at the reason why a popular way to grow certain mushrooms leaves some to think that mushrooms are "bad for the planet" and what that might mean for mushroom cultivation in the future.

We are also digging into the debate between whole mushroom extract and synthetic psilocybin in the context of psilocybin therapy and clinical research- with a new study suggesting one might have more impact than the other.
Enjoy the show!
