In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we head out into the frozen woods to find, harvest and extract wild Chaga (aka The "King" of Functional Mushrooms). We also cover how functional mushrooms can benefit our gut (including and interview with Dr. Jonathan Fields), and discuss the recent shutdown of a number of mushroom dispensaries, Oregon's Measure 109, and potential issues surrounding access to psilocybin.
