EP. 169: On this installment of Realfoodology, we take a journey into the world of functional mushrooms with our special guest, Ben Lillibridge, the founder of Malama Mushrooms. We explore the potential of these amazing fungi, uncovering how they can be incredibly beneficial to our overall health, from cognitive function to immune system support. Ben gives us an insight into his journey into mushroom farming and the discoveries being made in the fascinating field of mushroom research.

We talk about the unique biochemical properties of functional mushrooms, including adaptogenic characteristics that allow them to adjust to our body's needs and communicate with each other. Ben enlightens us on a variety of mushrooms such as Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, and Reishi, discussing their medicinal properties and how they can be used for different health benefits. We also touch on the interesting controversy of mushroom cultivation in Hawaii and the process of discovering new mushroom species.
