Healing Mushrooms A Practical and Culinary Guide to Using Mushrooms for Whole Body Health

Thx Tero and team, oh and thx Amazon for a super fast delivery. Day 1 listened to Rich Roll and Tero’s podcast, awesome even my wife listened. Day 2 ordered the book. Day 3 it arrived, thx Amazon. Day 4 fascinating reading material to keep us company on the way to Miami. We have had Chaga mushrooms from the Light Cellar in Calgary. If they are not yet stocking please give them a call, phenomenal people and they will be all over your products. Anyway after mushrooms in the house for 6minths we made chaga got chocolate minutes after discovering Tero, The book is not overly technical, a good smattering of humour and detailed enough to send anybody off on a discovery of better health. It will open anybody’s eyes beyond the standard American diet of supplemental multi vitamins and introduce them to the real thing. A note on the recipes, looking fairly straightforward and delicious. Cheers guys

I have been into healthy eating all my life, so why haven't I heard about the amazing properties that mushrooms have?? Thank goodness for Tero and his awesome company Four Sigmatic - I enrolled on their free Mushroom Academy and spent a few hours delving into the world of Fungi - but the more you learn, the more you crave to learn more!! I was super stoked to find out Tero had written this book and pre-ordered it at the beginning of September!! It came earlier than expected here in the UK and I have literally devoured it!! Treo has a fantastic style of writing, I feel like I'm sat having a conversation with him!! And the information on these amazing Shrooms is literally blowing my mind! The recipe's are going to be fun to try - Chaga Chai, Maitake Ginger Chews and the Key Lion's Mane Pie will be top of my list. Don't be put off if you are Vegan - loads of the recipes are vegan, and those that aren't literally need one or two easily swapped ingredients to make them so! Without doubt, this book together with a box of Chaga Elixir will be my go-to gift for all my family and friends at Christmas! Thank you Tero and Four Sigmatic for putting this book out there into the world :-) xx

This book is Brilliant! Was so excited to receive my book early after eagerly pre-ordering it. Tero Isokauppila, founder of Four Sigmatic, has extensive knowledge in his field and makes reading easy to understand with some truly fascinating and fun facts. Im studying Nutritional Naturopathy incorporating medicinal mushrooms and finally an easy way to help clients incorporate healing mushrooms into their daily routine. An inspirational book! PS The Soup and Lion's mane pancakes are delicious!

This is a great reference guide to quickly look up the benefits of medicinal mushrooms. It helps clarify the difference between powdered mushrooms and mushroom extracts and appropriate doses for each. There are also helpful suggestions about when to eat for the maximum benefit and recipe ideas for drinks meals snacks and treats. If you want a practical guide to incorporating medicinal mushrooms in your diet and the benefits of doing so then look no further. Since reading the book medicinal mushrooms are now a regular feature of my diet and placebo or otherwise I feel better for it. If you are an athlete and haven't tried supplementing with cordyceps then give it a go the benefits are supported by a good scientific evidence base.

Good information on medicinal mushrooms, times best to take and guides on different types to use and why, highly recommended

Well written, full of information concisely written and great recipes.

Very informative and practical. Awesome coverage of the mushroom field for boosting the immune system.

Very interesting read!

Excelente libro. Para los que no saben nada de hongos medicinales, aquí encuentras toda la información que necesitas: descripción de 10 principales hongos medicinales, donde conseguir productos de calidad hechos con hongos y muy buenas recetas.

Healing Mushrooms begins with a little background about the life of the author Tero Isokauppila; How he grew up in a country and with a family in which gathering mushrooms was the norm. The first half of the book is comprised of scientific information such as chemical compounds found within mushrooms (i.e. Beta-glucans, terpenoids), a mushroom’s anatomy, and a detailed profile for each of the ten mushrooms he has selected as fundamental. The rest of the book is a wonderful compilation of facts, tips and unique recipes that I am so excited to being working through! I have been consuming Four Sigmatic products since 2014 but I have mostly done so by tea, chia gel, broth, or smoothie-- what a treat to have so many creative and healthful recipes available! This book comes with a shopping/sourcing guide which directs you to the most reputable companies and also teaches you what to look for when trying to determine the highest quality products. Tero’s vision to offer these mushrooms in a more recognizable and user-friendly form really is brilliant. Prior to finding Four Sigmatic, I had only heard of using mushrooms for culinary purposes, as a psychedelic, and of course all of the worst-case scenario foraging incidents! By making these healing mushrooms available in a dual-extracted powder form and providing loads of information (educating to dispel mycophobia!), videos, enthusiasm and passion…they have made me a fun-gal! I would truly recommend this book to anyone…and will be purchasing it for many friends in the future as gifts! It provides a lot of key information in an easy to read and enjoyable format. Be sure to also check out Mushroom Academy on their website to learn even more!

Very informative

This is the most forward-thinking medicinal mushroom book I have ever read! There are only certain books I'll buy multiple copies of and this is one of them. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interesting in learning more about the fascinating complexity of medicinal mushrooms in a simple and enjoyable read.

Very interesting read to get introduced into the world of medical mushrooms.
