Cultural and historical roots

Mushrooms have the power to make a real difference in our lives. We believe that education and awareness is the missing piece regarding the adoption of mushrooms and other fungi into everyday routines despite their international prevalence.

Mushrooms are deeply ingrained in the fabric of human history, serving pivotal roles in spiritual, medicinal, and cultural practices worldwide:

  • Spiritual rituals: From the Mayans and Aztecs to the Ajumawi tribe and Siberian shamans, mushrooms have been central to religious and healing ceremonies.
  • Medicinal use: The extensive history of medicinal mushrooms in Traditional Chinese Medicine, alongside their use by African tribes and in psychedelic spirituality festivals within Hindu and Buddhist cultures, is many thousands years old.

shroomer is more than a platform; it’s a network like the “wood wide web” beneath our feet, designed to connect those passionate about the potential of fungi to transform lives and societies. Our community is a space for sharing, learning, and growing together in our appreciation and understanding of mushrooms.

We’re a team of real people behind your screen; mistakes, typos, and misspellings will happen. What we can control is how our readers know and understand an article has been corrected or clarified.

Corrections will be made in case of factual error, unclear language, or brand or personal name misspellings. The corrections note will reveal what was changed, why, and when the change was made. In formatting, the corrections note will be italicized at the top or bottom of the article.

For updated stories, the original story will always be clearly demarcated and follow the update so our readers understand how the news or story unfolded.

If you believe a story should be corrected, please submit the link and reasoning to corrections@shroomer.com.
