Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.

Such a brilliant woman. Can listen to her all day long. It's wonderful to see people doing what they're meant to do. It's how we all excel. You're a great interviewer. 👍

When I tried the Cordyceps CS-4 strain, my thyroid problems disappeared immediately. It was like magic.

[lucyhewitt]

The most comprehensive and accessible discussion on medicinal mushrooms I’ve heard! Love it.

I came to our mushroom healers via a breast cancer diagnosis. I took them through treatment and had no side effects at all and continue to take them every day today.

Thanks so much CNM, Bobby and Hania 💚🍄⚡️

Taking Mushrooms doesn't mean I am export All I can say those specific Reishi, Lions Mane, Maitake, Cordyceps, just few they become part of my life. I want to thank Hania Opienski, and Hifas Da Terra for this Amazing share of knowledge!!

I started a regimen which included mushrooms and the lump in my breast disappeared which I had for years and had to watch every 6 months. I researched and found a prof at the university talking about the anti-cancer properties. I gave some to my sister who had breast cancer and told her to check with her oncologist and his reply was “I take those myself .”

The best about mushrooms is that when they detox the forests they dont accumulate toxins, just neutralize them.

I'm a forager of chaga and reishi. I've used chaga for a few years but was hesitant with reishi. I don't know why but figured I should give it a try if I was going to sell it to others. I'd heard it helped with sleep and promoted a deeper more restfull sleep. Long story short, it does. I'm normally a light sleeper and generally don't sleep more than 6-7 hours. With a little reishi hours before bed time I'll sleep 9-10 hours and feel as though I could sleep more! I haven't tried yet but kind of have to make myself get up. I've also used it topically on my scalp for baldness and have fine hair comeing in. About three months now. The scalp mixture is reishi with two other ingrediants. I'd heard topical use wouldn't work for hair restoration but I was only using the dual extract for my sleep experiment 4-5 times a week when I noticed the fine hair coming in. I increased the frequency of both ( topically and ingesting) and have began taking it in the morning as well. 4-5 Droppers twice a day of wild reishi dual extract and the hair tonic every morning after water only scalp wash.

They are our ancestors and are far more intelligent and wise and evolved than we are. I love how we are getting close to regarding them with language and reverence that is able to acknowledge that--though so many indigenous traditions have known and regarded Fungi with the appropriate level of dignity and respect for millennia.

Would love a talk on using mushrooms for autism.

[valk]

Outstanding! I’ve been doing a lot of research on fungi, they’re quite amazing. I very much appreciate all this information

[starlight]

Best talk on musys yet :) RESPECT AND GRATITUDE .

[dainoradirmeikyte]

Makes a big difference and much more natural, easy for the body then artificial lab-made vitamins. Essentially it is food as medicines, tested by generations 😃
thank you x

[Catturtlelover]

I have benefited tremendously from lion’s mane, Reishi, miitake, chaga, Cordyceps, etc. They work wonders for hormonal regulation! My anxiety has tremendously decreased taking them- I feel so relaxed and focused.

[asantemungu]

Great presentation. Loadsa information to take on. Many thanks for continuing to change/heal lives. Thanks Bobby and Hania. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[MBiernat]

Wonderful and informative talk.

Also

— the name “Opienski”’comes from a word “Opieńek” which means “honey mushroom” which is an edible mushroom.

So in a way - “Hania Opienski” can be translated to “Hania Honey Mushroom”

[DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

Host defense - biggest mushroom co in USA does exactly as this wonderful lady says. Grows on grain. I’ve used for years. Have no idea now if I was being ripped off.

[dianesmith]
