This is something i was thinking about during my last journey in shroom land... and when I said that to my trip comrades, they were quite surprised for no reason... My idea was "maybe if you eat 0.5g per week (or maybe 0.1g every day) of this stuff (the shroomies), they give you lots of goodness... i mean, physical goodness. Maybe you would live longer, or avoid physical problems... who knows" What do you think?

The only health benefits that I can imagine is that when you have an unhealthy lifestyle and trip on shrooms, then you might see the benefits of living healthier and actually change that. but shrooms by themselves, no. (unless for something special; in some cases it can help prevent migraine headaches)

my health has reeked many benefits from eating mushrooms. i have become more enlightened and in tuned with myself and my needs. i think the use of psychedelics has enormously influenced my contemporary diet (which i think as very healthy)? physically speaking, I have no intimation whether mushrooms of the psilocybin genre have contents with health benefits

think about it, your idea isnt that genuine. they sell mushrooms in the food stores, why because they are healthy and good to cook wiht. mushies are the same. they are healthy and good to cook with. it just so happens they make you trip also.
-------------------- one branch of man turns away what has made us who we are, the other,excepts it for how its made man. which path do you choose? ------------------------------------- Man takes advantage of who he is,nature is his home, where he evolved from. So why does he turn it down, defy, and mutalate his birth ground? why does he spread disease, murder his native animals,rape and torture his land, and still feel descent of who he is? live a life that is not true? excepts an artificial home?

there's theories by (among others) terrance mckenna that mushrooms created the first 'human' communities - that in small doses, they would increase awareness of ones surroundings, thus making survival based on hunting and gathering easier. in medium doses, they increase sexual pleasure and the feeling of 'bonding' - thus making the mushroom eaters more randy and more likely to have a stable family unit. in large doses, they often set off a mystical experience - which, in early human communities, would be akin to the church experience. this community bond would make the mushroom-eating community more tightly knit and likely to help each other out. however, this theory is often rendered impotent by many peoples' beliefs that psilocybin mushrooms never grew in africa!
so, other than anthropological theory, the only 'verified' medical benefits that mushrooms have are in dealing with alcoholism, and in dealing with cluster headaches.
