#16: Mushroom Revival | The Mushroom Comeback with Alex Dorr


Listen Later

I have with me in this episode Alex Dorr, the founder and CEO of Mushroom Revival Inc and host of The Mushroom Revival Podcast. We talk about the origin of mushrooms and Alex explains that mushroom spores are constantly around us, but are so small that we never notice them. The fear of mushrooms in society has steadily decreased over the years and we’re seeing more and more people who want to use them for health reasons including supplementation. We discuss the magic mushroom, what it is, and why people have been showing such an interest recently.

“Cordyceps Militaris grows on moth larvae and it grows all around the world, and it’s bright orange. They look like Cheetos, they’re really crazy, and a lot of athletes have used them for thousands of years for supporting energy and endurance and stamina, and things of that nature.” 20:10
