June Featured Mushroom Product and Giveaway

As things heat up in Central Texas, we recommend you try the popular functional mushroom, Cordyceps militaris. Cordyceps are used to support: energy, lung health, immune health, adrenal health, and so much more. Known popularly as the “zombie fungus” this species of cordyceps parasitizes moth larvae in the wild and controls the movement of the insect to best disperse the spores. Mushroom Revival, the largest and only certified organic cordyceps militaris mushroom grower in the western world, grows this mushroom on a rice-based substrate. They then extract it with hot water and alcohol to bring out a rich array of cordycepin, adenosine, mannitol, 1,3-1,6 beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and more. 

We also want to welcome Mushroom Revival to Austin! Alex Dorr and the team have recently relocated to Austin from Massachusets. Let's show them all the fungal treasures Austin has to offer! Be sure to follow them, check out their functional mushroom products, and listen to their educational podcast. 

Become a member of CTMS and be entered in a win a supplement of Cordyceps Militaris from Mushroom Revival! (Winner will be announced in July. Drawing will include all CTMS members.)
