Excellent article Shugri and congratulations on your children’s book 💖☀️

Shugri Salh, author of the memoir 'The Last Nomad,' reflects on her picture book debut, 'Suuban’s First Day,' current events, and how words have the capacity both to heal and to harm.

Hi Folks! Interesting reading comparing mushroom mycelium vs mushroom fruit body extracts. 🍄

Repost from Elan Sudberg:

The team behind Alkemist Labs long time friend and client, Paul Stamets / Host Defense just posted a mechanistic paper on Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) mycelium and how it behaves in human immune cells under stress. Not a mouse, not a marketing deck. Actual PBMCs, transcriptomics, and cytokine readouts.

Two things jumped out at me:

1) Calm under challenge.
When immune cells were hit with an inflammatory LPS challenge, the Lion’s Mane mycelium prep consistently reduced classic stress cytokines like IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-8, while keeping baseline cytokines low. In other words: modulate, don’t light the place on fire.

2) Tissue type matters. A lot.
They compared the mycelium to a β-glucan-enriched fruiting-body extract. Under the same challenge, the fruiting-body extract nearly doubled IL-1β, while the mycelium drove it down. Same species, different material, different immune outcome. That’s a big deal for anyone who thinks “Lion’s Mane is Lion’s Mane.”

Also notable: the mycelium showed stronger antioxidant and iron-chelating activity than the fruiting-body extract in this setup.

Important disclaimer so nobody gets weird: this is a preprint and still under peer review. But the direction is clear enough to be interesting, and it reinforces something I’ve been saying for years:

You don’t get to assume bioactivity from a species name. You test the actual preparation.
