Stu: This week we welcome Jeff Chilton to the show. He has been in the mushroom industry since 1973. He is a founding member of the World Society for Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products and a member of the International Society for Mushroom Science. Jeff Chilton's company, Nammex, was the first company to offer certified organic mushrooms to the supplement industry in the United States. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement companies and are considered high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds.

Questions we ask in this episode:

• Questions asked in the episode
• Does the way mushrooms are grown affect their medicinal activity?
• Which single mushroom offers the most 'bang for buck'?
• How can we determine if mushroom supplements live up to their claims?
