This is a large excerpt. Ergothioneine is used by mitochondria through a special ionic pathway conserved in nearly all of our cells. Unfortunately, mushrooms are the most common way we get it and we can’t make it ourselves. For that matter, only some mushrooms can “make” it—the rest suck up what is in the growing substrate, which would normally be decaying trees, rather than straw.

There is a table showing Porcini mushrooms as the highest in ET, with King Oyster and others falling behind quite a bit, but still better than eating 2.2 pounds of garlic!

Our bodies additionally have a way to regenerate the ET molecule for as long as a month.

This must be an important nutritional component when these built-in mechanisms only work for the ET molecule. Perhaps this is a reason for the disparity among many with health-related conditions.

So mushrooms on pizza and with steak is good as long was we don’t go the way of Clint Eastwood in the movie The Beguilde?

When I was about 14 or 15 we had a friend who was an old Swiss Italian that came to Thanksgiving dinner. We lived up on a hill and he was afraid to drive up there so I walked down to the bottom and drove his pickup up to the house. On the way he started hollering stop, stop. I thought I did something to his pickup. He was hard to understand but he kept saying boleta, boleta. He got out and picked this huge mushroom. That is one of the few mushrooms I can identify.

Thanks!

More Shitaki and a side of Tempeh! (Porcini is a bit pricey around here!)

Does it reside in the wall of the Mitochondria, or the Matrix?

The nifty thing is that looks like it does not excrete and prompts our body to conserve it once we take it in.

BKMRK for later.

where do you buy your Boletus edulis (cepes)

Porcini is the best tasting mushroom evah! But you can only find dried. Would it still contain the ingredient?

Also, please note: when they say it is is cow’s milk, probably only in raw. Which is so much better anyway.
