MUSHROOM REVIVAL
Mushroom revival is a functional mushrooms supplement company focusing on high-quality, science-informed mushroom extract products. Their company is
- 100% USDA certified organic, Vegan, Gluten Free, KOF-Kosher Certified, NSF Certified GMP Compliant
- Use 100% mushroom fruiting bodies (aka actual mushrooms), no mycelium on grain, no fillers, no fluff. “We are completely transparent about our labeling, and back up all of our decisions with hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers”
- Eco-Friendly: they plant a tree for every product sold. To date, having planted over 43 thousand trees around the world.
- They also have both a blog and a podcast offering free information on mushrooms and mycology in general.
I have personally tried (and use) their products and they are, hands down, the best mushroom supplements I have come across. Their Lion’s Mane Focus Tincture is now a staple in my life (and my Stamets protocol)

The incredible potential of psilocybin mushrooms is big news, but what about other mushrooms?
Both mainstream and alternative media are increasingly inundated with articles about the benefits of psilocybin mushrooms, from supporting the dying process of terminally ill people to helping the productivity of entrepreneurs through microdosing . The narrative around the promise of psilocybin to do powerful things for people and for society is growing. But psilocybin-containing mushrooms are not the only ones that have the potential to be good for us, as individuals or as a society.
There is a whole swath of opportunity for us to use mushrooms to regenerate the damaging impact our civilization has had, and is having, on both natural ecosystems and human health. The power of mushrooms to help us regenerate the damage, destruction, and corruption of our inner and outer ecosystems is truly profound.
This practice of regeneration using the power of mushrooms is called mycoremediation – myco meaning mushroom or fungi, and remediation meaning “to remedy.”
Mycoremediation’s potential includes the ability to help clean up oil spills and nuclear accidents, but also to produce more environmentally sustainable sources of industrial goods, such as myco– meats and cloths and dyes and woods and plastics and even construction materials.
Furthermore, mycoremediation’s potential extends to human health as well. Such as through the consumption of what are called “functional mushrooms,” which can be used as daily supplements that can support immune function, metabolic function, brain health, cardiovascular health, gut health, and even athletic performance.
The regenerative potential of mushrooms/fungi is not humanity doing something new with them; it is actually us leaning into utilizing, optimizing, and directing the regenerative power that mushrooms and the fungi kingdom already offer to the natural world. The fungi kingdom is, in many respects, the very foundation of life on this planet… which, of course, means the power of mushrooms is a really big topic.
Thankfully, we have mycologist Alex Dorr on the show to explore this topic with us.
Alex Dorr is the founder and CEO of the functional mushroom company, Mushroom Revival Inc. based in Austin Texas. He also co-hosts the number one mushroom podcast in the world, The Mushroom Revival Podcast, alongside his loving partner Lera.
After earning his degree in mycology, Alex authored the book “Mycoremediation Handbook: A Grassroots Guide to Growing Mushrooms and Cleaning up Toxic Waste With Fungi” (2017) and built the largest and first certified organic Cordyceps Militaris mushroom farm in the Americas. He was recently nominated as one of Austin Inno’s 25 under 25 and is absolutely obsessed with the power of mushrooms.
Alex joins us on Adventures Through The Mind to provide us an overview of mushrooms and the fungi kingdom, the anatomy, life cycle, and evolutionary history of mushrooms; and the role fungi play in the very foundations of life on this planet. We also talk about mycoremediation, mycotechnologies, and go in-depth about the health effects of functional mushrooms such as reishi, lion’s mane, and cordyceps.
And, of course, we touch a little bit on psilocybin mushrooms and our perspectives on the corporate takeover of the psychedelic space.
