Functional Mushrooms For The Touring Industry

Touring means close quarters, long days, broken sleep and constant exposure to whatever virus is going around — and touring crews and musicians are disproportionately neurodivergent, which makes the sensory overload and changeable schedule of the job even harder to absorb.

This talk cuts through the wellness-industry noise around "magic mushrooms that aren't magic mushrooms" with a straight, jargon-free look at what Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi and Shiitake actually are and what people traditionally use them for. 

Consider it a shared toolkit rather than individual biohacking — because on a bus, what one person catches, everyone catches, and what wrecks one person's sleep affects the whole unit.

The session covers Lion's Mane for focus (including for ADHD brains navigating constant transitions), Cordyceps for stamina through long days and late load-outs, Shiitake for keeping the whole crew well when illness is doing the rounds, and, at the end of the day, Reishi for calming a nervous system that never really gets to switch off.

Who is this session for?
