Are you ready to love fungi? 

It’s just a matter of time after listening to our amazing guest, Willis Mitchell! Willis brings his 14 years of experience within the holistic wellness spectrum to the show today to discuss all things fungi. If you’ve ever wondered the best way to eat mushrooms, what the difference is between ALL the varieties, or what’s up with psilocybin, you won’t want to miss today’s episode. Willis is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to teaching us how we can start to integrate the healing properties within fungi into our daily lives. Plus, he’s sharing all the details on his business, The Loving Fungi: how it started (5 months alone in the wilderness??), how it’s going, and where you can find his adaptogenic products.
