47.Herb Lab with Mushrooms, News, Herbal 101 and a Preview

We talked about how we’re working with Mushrooms this week, reflected on last week’s show, and shared information on a recent Mushroom Study.

“Medicinal mushrooms as a source of antitumor and immunomodulating polysaccharides,” by Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa, Mt. Carmel, Haifa 31905, Israel, and published on United States of America National Institute of Health PubMed online.

We discussed an article published on Aquarian Dawn online in May 2016 entitled, “So You Wanna be a #Plantwitch: Guidelines for Budding Herbalists using Social Media,” by Amber Magnolia Hill.

We answered a question from Sherry on Herbs for Boosting Energy.
