MUSHROOMS AND HERBS WORKING TOGETHER
with Dr. Xochitl Palomino
The clinical use of mushrooms is on the rise, but as herbalists we often don’t know the actions of these mushrooms or even how to blend them with our herbal allies. Xochitl will review five beneficial mushrooms, Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus), Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris), Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), and Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis), along with herbal allies Usnea (Usnea longissima), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Schisandra berry (Schisandra chinesis), and Goji berry (Lycium barbarum). Learn how medicinal mushrooms and herbs work together to support immune function, cognition, antioxidant activity, and overall constitutional well-being.
