Of course all medicinal mushrooms have benefits but a few are my favorite.
Reishi Mushrooms immediately improve my mood as soon as they take effect in about 20- 30- minutes. It's amazing.
Many herbs I've tried with no noticeably results. Recently I've discovered some that do actually have a pronounced effect. For example, I can take 6 grams of Kratom (a/k/a Ketum) and a dose of Reishi Mushrooms in the morning and I'm full of energy and feel absolutely GREAT! And I'm 67 years of Age, born 1951 but feel 30 years younger when I do Reishi.

You should specify vodka alcohol vs Isopropyl alcohol to extract nutrients as one is very poisonous and not everyone realizes you mean the Ethyl alcohol or vodka type to extract nutrients.

Why do mushrooms have to be cooked to get there nutrients, but they cant be heated over 180 degrees when making tea "assuming it'll denature the nutrients"? I feel like cooking them means well over 180 degrees though. If anyone can answer I'd be extremely appreciative.

I hear some mushrooms has antibiotics in them and ca NOT be mixed with alcohol. I actually know some guy who 
ate mushrooms and drunk vodka and got sick. I think tinctures is a dangerous mixtures. Alcohol can create bad reaction, what do you think about that ?
