Functional mushrooms, like Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps etc. are types of fungi known as adaptogens. They help your body and mind adapt to stress and support overall well-being. Adaptogens work by interacting with your body’s stress response system, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, to regulate stress hormones like cortisol. Unlike psychedelic mushrooms, functional mushrooms do not cause hallucinogenic effects but improve your overall health and wellbeing and are completely legal and safe to use. Following is a list of Organic Mushrooms and the best time to consume them during the day.
