The science of mycology is a nascent study that has only begun to be revealed through research. We are just beginning to discover the reasons certain mushrooms were prized by Chinese healers. I mentioned Paul Stamets. Here is an interesting 17 minute TED talk he did years ago https://www.ted.com/talks/paul_stamets_6_ways_mushrooms_can_save_the_world?language=en If we have a yeast that can separate HDO from seawater, Stamets can add number 7 to his list. BTW, "Star Trek: Discovery" has honored the name of Paul Stamets in a character who essentially founded Astromycology. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Paul_Stamets Talk about Magic Mushrooms!
