She is no doubt the expert on shrooms and has truly opened our minds about the many incredible benefits of functional, psychedelic and culinary mushrooms (which FYI: humans have been using for thousands of years.)</p> <blockquote> <p class="">“There's a different benefit for each mushroom individually, but overall they are incredible for immune health, skin health, gut health, and cognitive function.” - Alli Schaper</p> </blockquote> <p class="">Although there’s been a lot of stigma around the use of functional and psychedelic mushrooms, we’re now able to look at the science to direct us into understanding how they can really help us. From mental health and microdosing studies to swapping coffee for mushrooms to aid in our physical health, we got a full rundown of why mushrooms are the next big trend in wellness.</p> <blockquote> <p class="">“Everything you kind of need health wise - there’s a mushroom for that.” - Alli Schaper</p> </blockquote> <p class="">Alli’s team has launched the world's first functional mushroom marketplace at <a href= "https://yourmultiverse.com/">yourmultiverse.com</a>, and is set to launch SuperMush, their in-house CPG brand, Fall 2021.
