In this episode of The Healthy Home Show, I’m joined by mushroom grower and educator Darryn de La Soul of Margate Mushrooms to explore the world of medicinal mushrooms. We dive into the health benefits of lion’s mane, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, from boosting brain function and immunity to supporting gut health and mental clarity. Darryn breaks down the difference between mushroom tinctures and double extractions, the role of beta-glucans in immune support, and why most supermarket mushroom supplements may not be as potent as you think.

We also cover big-picture topics like food security, local farming, and the potential of fungi to strengthen our food systems in a changing world. Whether you're curious about natural nootropics, functional foods, or how to support your immune system naturally, this episode is a must-listen.
