The American Herbalists Guild - Herbal Study Hall

Description: A thorough review of the science (including clinical trials) and traditional uses of the most widely-researched medicinal mushrooms (especially turkey tail, shiitake, cordyceps, lion's mane, and chaga), based on many years of ongoing clinical practice and scientific investigation, will be presented. Learn how to both make mushroom extracts and also choose the best commercial products. Current experience in integrative oncology will be shared, with case reports, effective use, and expected outcomes. We will discuss recent controversies such as mycelium vs. fruiting body and the use of the word "mushroom."
