Stay Grounded

Mushrooms have an earthy taste like the dark, rich loamy soil itself. This earthiness is a sign of mushrooms' ability to keep you grounded and calm your nervous system. They are considered tamasic in Ayurveda meaning they make your consciousness sleepy.

Remedy for Late Summer Insomnia

In late summer, as the temperature starts to drop at night, your mind wakes up and sleep feels like a far away wish. You might notice bouts of insomnia this time of year. The remedy is, as always, in nature. Mushrooms suddenly become abundant as the thunderstorms of August dump heavy rains. If you have noticed insomnia with increased frequency, try including some sauteed mushrooms in your favorite dish for a rustic and satisfying meal.

Always cook mushrooms

Raw mushrooms are a popular salad item. However, raw mushrooms are nearly indigestible. We suggest you always cook mushrooms to avoid these digestive difficulties.

Mineral Rich

Mushrooms are highly absorbant of minerals in the soil, often containing a rich utritional profile, as their earthy taste suggests. As much as mushrooms absorb minerals, they also absorb whatever toxins they are grown in, and have even been used to clean up toxis waste sites. For that reason, always eat organic mushrooms.

Wild Mushroom Hunting

From wooded trails to the front lawn, Mushrooms seem to pop up as if by magic in late summer. Just the other day I was hunting herbs in the woods and stumbled upon mushroom after mushroom, brilliantly colored, wildly shaped, exotically enticing, and a touch scary. I was reminded of a quote my herb teacher taught me:

"There are old mushroom hunters, and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old bold mushroom hunters."
Source: unknown


Mushrooms have a wide spectrum of effects on the body. They can be delicious, medicinal, hallucinogenic, and deadly poisonous. If you go wild mushroom hunting, be sure to positively identify any species before eating, or you may lose your chance to become an old mushroom hunter. Boldness in this particular field is not an advantage. The range of wild edible, rich, meaty, earthy mushrooms to serve over risotto or wild rice include chanterelles, boletes, honey mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shitakes, chicken of the woods and many more. Destroying angel mushrooms are an example of the deadly.

The part of the mushroom you pick and eat is the fruit. The living part of the plant, which looks like roots embedded in the soil or a tree, is called the mycelium. When you pick a mushroom you are not killing it. On the contrary, by picking them you are actually helping the fungus to spread its spores. But be sure not to disturb the root system beneath the mushroom when picking. The mushroom thanks you!

Many mushrooms are used in herbalism for their medicinal properties, such as the famous reishi mushroom of Chinese medicine, a strong immune tonic. Other mushrooms have been used to improve vitality and fight cancer. We suggest you allow herbalists to select medicinal mushrooms, and old mushroom hunters to divide the deadly from delicious.

Are Mushrooms from Planet Earth?

Many western herbalists entertain the notion that mushrooms come from another planet. While this opinion has no basis scientifically, it definitely captures the pure strangeness of the mushroom. Something about a mushroom feels distinctly alien to the human world. One mushroom I passed was bright red, with slime oozing out beneath it. Whether fluorescent orange, eerie opaque white, spotted, striped, tiny and delicate, or enormous and sprawling, mushrooms look like a dream-scape under the sea or in outer space. The largest organism in the world is a single mushroom whose mycelium extends over several mountaintops. Often the inspiration for creatures and features of fantasy and science fiction novels, mushrooms allow your imagination to run wild.

Another fact we haven't proven scientifically is that many mushroom experts we've crossed take on a gnome-like appearance. Mushroom hunters tend to be somewhat short and stocky with a slightly mad hatter personality- an effect we believe comes from eating too many odd, tamasic mushrooms. In order to avoid this mad tendency, we suggest you stick to familiar mushrooms - portobello, crimini, the occasional truffle, and familiar edibles & medicinals. These tried and true mushrooms, when cooked, give your meals a hearty, grounding feel, with no threat of turning you into a gnome.

AYURVEDA'S GUIDE TO VITALITY & WHOLESOME NOURISHMENT

Your Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body and your specific imbalances. With an Ayurvedic diet you feel joy and satisfaction because what you are eating truly nourishes and balances you. Disease results from diets and lifestyles that are incompatible with your nature. By eating a personalized diet matched to your body, you experience optimal health. See How it Works.

Metabolic Nature of Crimini & Button Mushrooms

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.

Healthy digestion generally prevents illness. If you do get sick, a strong digestive fire reduces the severity of illness and increases your resilience. It also improves your mood. Once you begin eating Ayurvedically, you will feel refreshed, vital and strong.

“I've been strict about avoiding mushrooms due to their tamasic quality as per Ayurveda. But if I've learned one thing from Joyful Belly it is "moderation in all things," and they are almost irreplaceable in certain dishes. So thank you for this helpful, interesting, and humorously entertaining profile. Enjoyed it a lot."
