@LakerGuru @TheDailyShroom Personally, if I take a dose that’s below a full dose but more than a micro (like an amount so that I can feel it but not a significant trip) I might feel sleepy. But if I take a full dose and I’m having a whole experience, I feel like I can’t sleep. So maybe try taking more?
Born from spores, like mushrooms, Myxomycetes(slime molds) have the ability to move through their environments & hunt for prey. The fungus moves like a huge amoeba at about 1cm per hour. They consume organic material and are often unique in coloring due to a buildup of pigments.
The Huitlacoche #mushroom, also known as the corn smut fungus, is considered a delicacy in Mexican cuisine. It grows on ears of corn and can cause the kernels to become swollen and blackened, but is safe to eat and has a rich, earthy flavor. #fungus#Mexicancuisine#foodfacts

The world's most expensive mushroom is the Matsutake, which can cost up to $2,000 per pound. It's highly prized in Japanese cuisine and can only be found in the wild.
Fungi have developed various strategies to defend themselves from predators. Some produce toxic compounds that repel or poison animals that try to eat them. Others form mutually beneficial relationships with other organisms such as plants or insects, to protect themselves. #fungi
Mycelium has the ability to break down and decompose complex organic materials, including pollutants and toxins. This makes it a valuable tool for environmental remediation and waste management. #GreenCleanup#mushrooms#ecology#mycology#mycelium
Morel mushrooms contain a unique compound called ergothioneine, which is known for its neuroprotective and anti-aging effects. Adding morels to your diet could help promote brain health and longevity. #morelmushrooms#neuroprotection#antiaging#mushrooms#BrainHealth
Mycelium is more than just a network of threads – it's a key player in the ecosystem. It helps break down dead plant matter & converts it into nutrients for new growth. W/o mycelium, our forests & fields would lack the vital nutrients they need to thrive. #Mycelium#nature
