Ever wonder how functional mushrooms are grown? Welcome to the world of mushroom farming, where innovation and ingenuity come together to produce massive amounts of life-changing functional mushrooms at

We're also diving into a the story of California naming a new official state mushroom (no it's not the one you think!) and checking out a brand new study that aligns the emergence of psilocybin on the same timeline as the
asteroid responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Enjoy!
