I daily drink a chaga lions mane tea. sometimes I’ll throw in reisi. A couple times a week I’ll eat white button, baby bella or shiitake mushrooms. I take supplements that include maitake, cordyceps and turkey tail.

I think the regime improves my spirits.

this is the first I’ve heard of porcini.

I’m always intrigued and interested in your health related posts.

did you stick with the fisetin routine?

Actually, I did an entire bottle in three days, but now expect to do that every other month or two. Instead, I’ve been focusing on iodine’s possible impacts on prostate, breast and other inflamed or cancerous cells.

Lugol’s is not the best approach, nor Iodoral. Strangely, the elemental iodine, as in kelp, is the form least likely to cause thyroid issues. Forms with potassium center their absorption in the thyroid and appear to be the primary trigger for thyroid autoimmunity issues. To prevent those, having fortified with selenium and daily zinc and antioxidants will both prevent reactions and tamp them down if you are already showing autoimmune thyroid antibodies.

The safest form of kelp appears to be Swanson’s Kelp (elemental iodine/fewest contaminants/best price fromConsumerLab.com), which is a kelp extract (save for a little powder they throw in). The upper tolerable dose is 1,100 micrograms a day, but I’ve incremented myself beyond that to closer to 3,000 micrograms a day using those kelp tablets and about 1,500 micrograms equivalent from Iodoral.

All sorts of research out there, but I don’t normally encourage people to do stuff beyond where it is safe, although I’ve done some stuff with multiple grams of grape seed extract with positive outcomes.

I would suggest to ingest the mushrooms rather than leave anything behind.

I am not aware of ergo being leeched out of mushrooms, for instance. We have powdered forms of the mushrooms you mention, but we blend them into a glass of low sodium V-8 juice.
