Mushrooms are absolutely fucking crazy things. You're not kidding when you say they can either kill you or cure cancer someday. I really hope scientists start researching shrooms/fungus more heavily in the future. I find it really fascinating how different the effects of consuming specific ones can be. And, it seems like most of them give nothing but benefits.

I've heard consuming Cordyceps in a big enough dose daily can improve your libido and sexual performance. Reishi's help you sleep more soundly at night, and apparently Lion's Mane can cause you to have vivid dreams if you consume a big enough dose before going to sleep. There seems to be a myriad of effects between all the different types of shrooms out there.

Hell, you can do even weirder, useful things without consuming them. I remember on the Joe Rogan Podcast he had a guest on that talked about how the Japanese apparently used fungus's to make their railway system more effective. They basically used the fungus as a mapping way as it grew to plan out the system. It was some really interesting information. He also talked about how Portabella mushrooms contain a carcinogenic enzyme unless you cook them at a very high temperature, so never eat them raw. Apparently he was threatened by a company not to talk about it in depth, however, which sucks. I learned a lot of weird things about shrooms in that podcast, now that I think about it, haha.

(Also, I really enjoyed the pictures that you actually took. Kinda makes me want to go out and start checking around for mushrooms in my area, lol.)
