Medicinal Mushrooms I
    #1322709 -


?
Christopher Hobbs L.Ac., A.H.G.


Mushrooms have been valued throughout the world as both food and medicine for thousands of years. Throughout the world, many people enjoy hunting for wild mushrooms, delighting in the variety of shapes, sizes, and colors exhibited by these "flowers of the fall." Europeans have always appreciated the gastronomic value of wild mushrooms. In Japan, pushcart vendors on the streets still sell medicinal mushrooms to the average citizen who uses them to maintain health and promote longevity. Some Japanese people have even been said to travel hundreds of miles in order to collect wild mushrooms that only grow on very old plum trees--such as the Reishi--renowned as a cure for cancer and degenerative diseases. Likewise, for over 3,000 years the Chinese have used and revered many fungi for their health-giving properties, especially tonics for the immune system (Bo and Yun-sun, 1980; Yun-Chang, 1985). To the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria a number of fungi became an important part of their mythology and medical practice (Oso, 1977).

Mushrooms may also be the perfect food for staying trim and healthy. A recent "letter from the editor" in the Nutrition Action newsletter (September, 1994) from the Center for Science in the Public Interest mentioned that up to 1/3 of the U.S. population are overweight. Because fats occur in mushrooms in minor amounts, especially compared with protein and carbohydrates, and the fatty fraction consists predominantly of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, they may be the perfect food for losing weight and maintaining a healthy heart and cardiovascular system.

When it comes to mushrooms, most Americans and inhabitants of the British Isles are rather ignorant. Many people in the United States have a distinct dislike, even a fear, of fungi--a phenomenon that may be called "fungophobia"--a term coined by Hay (1887). Rolfe and Rolfe wrote about the distinctly unsavory view of which the British view mushrooms and mushroom hunters, in their delightful Romance of the Fungus World (1925). Generally, the first association wild mushrooms bring to mind here is "poisonous." The principal edible mushroom most Americans know is the bland Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing., or "button mushroom" found in supermarkets. It has little flavor and negligible medicinal value compared with other wild species. In fact, it can even be unhealthful in the sense that it may be heavily sprayed with malathion and other pesticides (many commercially cultivated mushrooms are among the most heavily sprayed items in the vegetable section). The button mushroom may also have cancer-causing properties when eaten continuously, though exactly how potent this effect might be in humans is not clear. See the section on this common mushroom on page xx for further details.

In recent years other cultivated species such as the oyster mushroom and shiitake have begun to appear in markets.

Happily, however, there are signs that these narrow-minded attitudes in the United States and England are changing and catching up with the rest of the world. The spreading popularity of natural foods is one factor that has helped re-awaken interest in mushrooms and mushroom-hunting. Another factor is the recent growth of the mushroom-export business, which has been boosted by troubles in Europe. Due to acid rain, sprawling development, and industrial accidents such as the one at Chernobyl, millions of acres of mushroom habitat in Europe and Russia have been disturbed, and many species of wild mushrooms are becoming scarce (Cherfas, 1991).

Europe imports thousands of pounds of chanterelles and boletus each year. The high price these traditional gastronomic delights bring creates a good supplementary income for knowledgeable gatherers in the United States. Indeed, wild or home cultivation may soon become viable cottage industries in the Pacific Northwest, which has the forest habitats and substantial rainfall needed for such ventures. Cultivation as a home business may be preferable to the recent problems that are surfacing in the Pacific Northwest among professional and itinerant pickers alike--namely squabbling over mushroom patches on public lands. A newspaper article told of teams of professional pickers using walkie-talkies to coordinate harvests and mentioned that they can become upset when other pickers strayed into what they considered their turf. In response to the increased harvesting pressure, quotas were recently set in the Mt. Hood National Forest (McRae, 1993). For books and supplies for the cultivation of edible and medicinal mushrooms, see the appendix.

Finally, Japanese products containing LEM, a polysaccharide-rich extract from the shiitake mushroom and similar extracts from maitake are currently undergoing trials in Japan and the U.S. to test their effectiveness in treating various forms of cancer. They show promise for treating people suffering from various forms of cancer and AIDS and are currently in strong demand in Japan. Commercial shiitake cultivators in the U.S., Canada, and in parts of Asia are decidedly interested in this new potential market and are starting large cultivation efforts, hoping the demand will continue to grow as further scientific studies are conducted. At present, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products from mushrooms may be worth more than 1.2 billion dollars U.S.

Wei Qi Soup for Building Immune Strength
Directions:
Fill a pot 2/3 full with purified or spring water, then add:

Astragalus membranaceus (5-7 sticks)
Ganoderma lucidum (reishi) (1 medium)
any other tonifying mushrooms 2-3
Slightly sprouted beans (1/4-1/2 cup)
(aduki, black, etc.)
Bring water to boil, simmer for 20 minutes, then add:
Organic barley (1/2-1 cup)
(choose amount depending on thickness desired)
Simmer another 20 minutes, then add favorite vegetables such as:
carrots & celery
beet tops (or chard, collards, mustard greens, etc.)
cabbage
potatoes (optional)
sea vegetables (nori, kelp, wakame, etc.)
gobo (i.e., burdock root)
nettles or other wild greens (when available)
garlic & onions

Simmer until the vegetables are tender, then add miso and spices such as ginger, celery, or fennel seed. Make enough for a few days and store it in the refrigerator.

Indications and Dosage: During illness, when solid food is not desirable, drink 3-4 cups of the warm broth (add less barley and more water to make broth). For degenerative immune conditions, eat 1-2 small bowls per day, and drink the broth as desired. For autoimmune diseases such as allergies, lupus, diabetes, and hepatitis accompanied by fatigue, weakness, or autoimmune conditions, eat the soup when desired, or drink the broth. This soup can be used upon occasion (1-2 times per week) for general tonification and may help to increase stamina.

There are many as yet undiscovered properties in fungi of use in medicine.The work with psilocybin in OCD is promising,and anecdotaly I have heard of several other medical uses including my own, controling Atrial Fibrillation. A monthly sub-psychoactive dose controls my condition completly,giving me a steady synchronized atrial/ventrical pulse.This is something medicine can only achieve at present with a dangerous surgery called the MAZE procedure.
Other interesting uses for fungal medicines are wound tinctures w/shittake and oyster mushrooms which seem to stimulate healing and prevent infection in dirty wound conditions.
I pray that this research continues as these fascinating yet meek allies are amazingly powerful. WR

(I may be a bit off topic and forgive me if i am but it seemed rather ok to post here seeing as how this involved medicinal mushrooms and bad trips from psilocybin) ........I read on another web page online about a possible synergy between reishi mushrooms and psilocybin. I am a regular user of reishi and i enjoy the mysticism of magic m, every now and then, so as to not build a tolerance. Reishi to me has always been extremely helpful when ever i smoke cannabis because i always seem to experience mild paranoia from it. Theres something about reishi that keeps me completely at ease, however, reishi does seems to enhance the OEVS and CEVS that i get from mj even though i feel perfectly calm as mentioned. My question is, would both mushrooms have synergy if taken together? Could this be perhaps a way to prevent a "bad trip" in a way? I am very interested in trying this combo but wanted some feed back from some experienced users first. Anything will be much appreciated thanx!!! :mushroom2:

I didn't see the date. I am terrible sorry.

The video was realted to a comment that I thought I saw about the various medical benefits of psychedlics. I used to suffer from these horribly and thanks oo what's described in the video, don't.

I also had major chemo, have chemo brain, and miss stuff from the cognitive destruction.

I am here exploring what medicinal mushrooms I might grow.

Again, sorry. Never mind., I'll just go back to cult.

Thanks, Forrester. I am glad you were joking. Sometimes it is really a drag to know what you were capable of and no longer are due to the impact of health vectors.:sad:
And it took a while not to be a completely annoying noob, of which I tend to be less.

I have been to the Psychedelic Medicine thread. If it pops up in "my threads," I check.

I really am in this thread to learn about Medicinal Mushrooms and the cultivation thereof. Ironically, I have a good distribution channel already in place here and now just have to grow them. About which I now know slightly less than nothing. I am researching first a species that is forgiving and hopefully robust in yields. :shrug:

Thanks for letting me down off the ledge.

What kind of medicinals did you want to grow? Reishi is pretty forgiving and I've seen some killer grows come out of monotubs. Lions mane is another that's easy to fruit. Almost any mushroom that grows on a tree has medicinal properties.

Thanks, I'm looking at reishi's first. My outlet is pretty stoked for it. So that pretty much settles it.

I will start with that. After that gets going :shrug: Are cordyceps a good idea?

Is Hobbs an old-ass source?
Also, my off-topic cluster headache video was made long ago but the info for CH sufferers is current.

I'll second that reishi is a great one to start with.  Even easier to grow and more forgiving than cubes.  Cordyceps is doable but I wouldn't start with that one.

Hobbs is a good source, I still consult his book on occasion, although I prefer the Fungal Pharmacy by Robert Rogers, if you want to get more in-depth.

Anyway don't hesitate to start a new thread if you have any questions in your endeavor, we're here to help!

So is it okay to ask here in this ancient thread i mistakenly revived? :shrug:

I now have 2 quarts of reishi/millet spawn. I was going to try my first ever bags and first oak hwbp. After I spawn the jars, can I fruit in a 54-qt tub? I can use pasty's ezdial which i like for actives or should I keep the FAE down with a no holes lid and the clasps closed to increase CO2??

I appreciate the help. Am stoked about the reishi.

Yeah tubs are my favorite way to go with reishi!  I wouldn't worry about holding the air in that much, I like to give mine a bit of air so pasty's tubs should be perfect. 
Have fun watching it grow, reishi is one of my favorites to watch :mushroom2:

Thank you Forrester. I will be making up the oak bags today, thusly per doubleD, another shroomerite:

Throw 900g oak pellets in the bag, hydrate it w like 1.5 liters of water, pressure cook, and then throw your fully colonized grains in. Tie the bag at the very top, mix everything together, and your set!

I still totally clueless how to close the bags before PCing them.  I suppose with an accordian fold, filter facing in, a packing tape "seal" and 4 hours in the 75x would do it?

Planning 1 myco-quart per bag = two bags in the mono for now; I did load pellets into 9 bags.

I've grown out about 7 reishi plates that [I thinlk look clean and have 18 jars of millet awainting noccing. Yay. Probably should buy Sterilite stock.

I am grateful for the input, as I am 100% noobed out on medicinals.

Without a supplement you don't need to pressure cook. You can just boil water and add it to the fuel pellets and once cool mix it together in the tub you'll fruit from.

If you do choose to sterilize I think 3 hrs is plenty. Add some bran to your recipe to make it worthwhile.

Yes, soy hulls are a supplement and need to be sterilized.

And it's kind of comparing apples to oranges but I get more consistent results sterilizing than with the bucket Tek.

It's definitely worth trying both ways.

And another couple of Qs...

I have two myco-quarts of reishi spawn that I can't read [yet, I hope].



1. Are these good and good to go?

2. Can I spawn to a 54-qt ezDial mono with the four bags of oak from yesterday [900 g HWBP + 1500 mL H2O --> 4hrs PC in 75x at 18 PSI]?



OR If they are good, should I go one jar to 1 bag and put the two bags in the mono?

Thanks.

Hope you clear it!!

Not entirely sure what either of those things entail, but no. 

Definitely don't compress anything, and if pseudocasing is putting a top layer of substrate without spawn in it, also not necessary.

Oh, noted for going forward. I didn't put down a top layer and I can loosen up the sub by hand. I wanted to get the six jars into bins while they were still easy to break up, which they were.

I have enough oak prepping to do one more bin before my filter bags arrive. I may assay the bucket tek version for the oak until the shroom supply order arrives. I have 5 jars basically ready and five more colonizong. I alson have 27 jars of millet yearing to be nocc'd.

I am grateful for your help. Hijacked the thread, but hey... :shrug:

Thanks!

About to spawn 2 more [1/2-full] quarts to a 54-qt ezDial...
Have five more quarts colonizing and 2700 g oak hwbp bucket-teked in 4.5 mL H2O with which to experiment...I really hope the bucket tek works well: a 4-hour sterilization in the 75x actually takes about 6 hours from start to finish.

I don't see anything to worry about really, even if there is bacteria it almost never is a problem for reishi anyway so I'd spawn those soon before they're impossible to break apart.

Speaking of bacteria, here are 3 of the 6 onos. They are all awash in metabolites.







Do I let it roll and harvest later? Do I harvest now? Do I toss the skanky messes out in the sub-midden?

I will post the other three later...

MOrE fucking questions and I am grateful for the support and information. You have been so generous.

Here is where I let the jars get to [couldn't help it had an 8-day business trip when I was already a day or two late to spawn em.











CAN I use a knife to section the colonized mycelium and then spawn each quart to a 3T that has been waiting for 2 months, or to some more monos?

About that LC I dunno it's kinda out of focus to see what's on top, but just test it on agar to find out.  I remember when I did my medicinal LC's they would get all kinds of weird stuff in them, cordyceps even grows a scoby on the top.  So I wouldn't worry too much, just test to find out.

Yikes that spawn is not gonna be easy to break up as you know lol...  I would try to smash it to break apart the grains vs. cutting it, but do whatever you gotta and try your best, it's worth a shot!

I'd let them pin invitro and top fruit. Harvest is easy to tell it's when there stops being a white growth edge and they varnish over.

I have three 3T bags. This is an example of where they are at. I can

A) top fruit in bag

or

B) If I make a bunch of slits in the sides of the bag will fruits fam out into the air?




----------------------------------------

I just saw the harvest the escapees. I now have no lids on my monos and the heads have therefore fanned out a bin in tub and the other two are something else.

I can't find a TEK for reishi harvest. Should I just pull the outer fans off the side of the tub?

If you wanna fruit some conks out of the side of that bag, I'd wait till it starts fruiting invitro to see where the fruits are, then you can cut slits about an inch above substrate level near where the pins are and let them find their way out those.  Pretty much just like they did with your mono.  I bet that will work pretty good.

Those conks that came out the tub sure did form nicely!  Yeah just rip em right off.  Those ones inside the tub still look like they're growing so I'd let them go longer.  When they're done just cut them off at substrate level like you would any mushroom.

That grow turned out really nice, I love how they look like saucers inside.

I would look up a non alcohol extraction, I think you can accomplish a double extraction with glycerine instead of alcohol but I've never looked into it. Tea or caps does work though you just may miss out on some stuff.

It is here:

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27592271

Hope this is useful. I was doing the research because, 35-years sober, I should not be putting anything 50-proof into my body. I need to find out if the glycerine extraction will get all medicinal compounds, and if I can still do a couble extraction. :shrug:

Thanks for the journal. I'm also looking into glycerin extraction for the same reason, and am finding it surprisingly hard to research the differences between glycerin and alcohol extractions. Found myself on some weird website trying to send me motherfuckin notifications. Who in god's name wants a website they've been on for 16 seconds to send them notifications? What a world we live in :lol:

I love my reishi tea but I feel like I'm being sort of wasteful. Anybody make tea then use those fruits to make a tincture? I know people re-use the same fruits for multiple batches of tea.

I like that this article details the differences in which classes of compounds are better extracted by which. I will turn to Rogers and to Hobb and research which of reishi medicinal chemicals are which class.

If it were me, I would look into extracting with alcohol, then figuring out how to get rid of that alcohol and get what you've extracted into the glycerine. It's not hard to evap off alcohol and then the good stuff should go easily into glycerine. Bit I'd have to look into it more as to exactly how...

And I do have a couple of gallons of 100% ethanol. There's just this bit to reearch:

...When considering whether to make a glycerine tincture or an alcoholic extraction, it is important to consider the solubility of the material being extracted. Glycerine will extract sugars, diluted enzymes, glucosides, bitter compounds, diluted saponins as well as tannins. Alcohol will extract some alkaloids, glycosides, volatile oils, waxes, resins, fats, some tannins, balsams, sugars and vitamins.

So I shall check Rogers and Hobbs and make a plan which I shall of course post here. :rolleyes:

Here's a question dear to my heart

What is the top dollar that is charged for dried reishi? I will be selling them via my farmer's website and he ain't cheap: $16/lb chicken breasts; $42/lb lamb chops; Oyesters fresh $20/lb; like that.

I was even thinking of delivering in plexi presentation boxes...make it way precious and stuff. I have these beautiful antler/conk comobs that look cool as fuck.

Thanks in advance.

That's been asked a lot, and I really can't answer.  The price for anything, anywhere is what you can get.  If the clientele is willing to spend top dollar for premium stuff, then I'd assume you could set a pretty high price but I have no idea what that would be :shrug:  I always compare to what stuff is going for on etsy.

You could test the market by pricing them at what you'd really like to make off of them.  If they're moving as fast as you want then you're all good.  If they aren't selling fast enough for you, run a "sale" and drop the price and see if that helps.  Things really are worth what someone is willing to pay for them so you might as well go for it initially
