New Antiviral Drugs from mushrooms


Plug Spawn (might try this for a tree stump in my front yard)

Except for obvious exceptions like Fly Agaric, and also Deadly Nightshade and Belladonna I believe

The thought of eating those, might make me feel ill withought ingesting any first.

this makes me think of that Clint Eastwood movie, "The Beguiled". good movie. Early Clint Eastwood.

what you say is true, Boss.. but there have been uses found for poisonous substances. sometimes a little of something can be healing, where a lot is deadly.

so.. even if we can't eat them, it doesn't mean they don't have worth!!!

I suppose so.

A possibly related incidence would be CowPox to obliterate Smallpox. Or maybe that's not quite along the same lines.

The only I can recall Poisons having benefit, is with Poison Arrow Frogs. The Poison is added to blow dart tips, and natives can use it to kill animals during hunting.

also, remember iggy posted this about those button mushrooms:

Button mushrooms contain as much anti-oxidants as expensive ones

Well when you put it like that, it does provide clarity to things.

I suppose you could usethe analagy, for everything, there is an equal and opposite reaction, so for every potential poison, there may be a potental treatmet or cure.

I don't know how long that post had been here because I was away from home all morning, but he won't trouble us again!

I used to have my doubts concerning mushrooms. After all, they are a fungus, right?
Antibiotics are made from fungus, and fungus seems to cause or aid many diseases.
Then I did some research on mushrooms, and discovered they are a superfood. They are packed with nutrients, and are very good antioxidant. They can kill cancer cells, and that is only the beginning. Mushrooms lightly fried in coconut oil is very good, as well as raw slices in a salad.
As far as vitamin D is concerned, 1000 I.U. per day is low. That should be doubled, and during the winter months, 2000 I.U. in morning and another 2000 I.U. (D3) before bed. That would be more beneficial, without the worry of overdosing.
