“Mushrooms are more playful, more loving, and more nurturing…” Welcome to today's episode of NION Radio where we're talking to Tero Isokauppila, a mushroom guru who took us on an epic trip to Finnish Lapland this past January. From regular mushrooms to psilocybin, the magic mushrooms, Tero knows all about it. He even writes books and speaks all over the world about the part mushrooms play in creativity and the creation of stories. A product of his upbringing, he credits his creativity and inspiration to nature. He is also an outspoken advocate for the resurgence of non-addictive substances as an outlet for self-exploration. Listen in to today's episode to learn how Tero found his calling in mushrooms, why he developed his business around them, and what these mushrooms can do for your health.
