Hey, I am so excited to find this herb forum! My interest in the benefits of medicinal mushrooms developed over 15 years ago when I was referred by my Qigong teacher to a TCM doctor in Sydney. He is an old school Chinese practitioner who works out of a run down old shop in Marrickville, Sydney, and is the best and most inexpensive TCM doctor I have ever found. He introduced me to capsules with both cordyceps and reishi for stress management and disease prevention. Until then I had never used medicinal mushrooms and I was blown away by their power.
When I discovered the Happy Herb Shop in Newtown I was astounded by their collection of fungi! The range is epic and it has led me down a path of discovery and exploration with all the different ways they can be used and the potential benefits. I feel like I discovered a new home and have spent many moments geeking out on mushroom knowledge with the staff members at Newtown. They are the best. I can’t wait to discuss all things fungi on this forum with new people and continue the journey. Peace out, Doron.
