Welcome to My World – Another Light Bulb Moment! & Medicinal Mushrooms
Hello World! Well, another light bulb moment happened today. Thanks to the help of 2 people: one, Erin at Pinterest who went above & beyond to help me figure out what the issue was; & the other person is Jamison at Blue Host who helped me change my temporary url to my permanent one.
I forgot that when I started I used a temporary URL while waiting for my domain name to transfer, but I never switched back to the permanent URL. Something so simple can cause so much frustration, but it appears to be fixed now, at last! So, when confounded by an issue, look at the unexpected. 
I must amend my “tech challenged” to “tech moron”. Now you can see, that if I can do it, so can you. Simply pack some patience for the journey. Now I can laugh at myself. I wasn’t laughing before. I knew there was something I wasn’t doing. DUHHHHHHHHHH……
Here’s some good info about Medicinal Mushrooms 
Mushrooms may be one of the most powerful foods in your pantry. No, not your standard button mushrooms. We’re talking about medicinal mushrooms.
Medicinal mushrooms are renown for fighting inflammation, balancing blood sugar and hormones, boosting the immune system and even preventing cancer. If you’re not familiar with medicinal mushrooms, here are a few of the most popular varieties:
Reishi – Also known as Ganoderma lucidum, this incredible mushroom has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth (in breast cancer) due to an increase in natural killer cell activity. It also enhances immune function by increasing the amount of active immune cells, acts as an adaptogen, improves hormones regulation and supports the liver, among other things.
Chaga – Another mainstream medicinal mushroom, chaga has proven itself to be a powerful food for cancer treatment and prevention, according to some studies. Additionally, it functions as a high source of antioxidants aand a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
Lion’s mane – Many studies have covered the neuroregenerative properties of this mushroom. It has exhibited exciting potential in stimulating nerve regeneration. This means it may hugely influence and improve cognitive function, including memory and concentration. Additionally, lion’s mane is known to improve mood, anxiety and depression.
Maitake. This is a popular mushroom for women dealing with the symptoms of PCOS. It has been shown to help induce ovulation in women with PCOS. It also assists with diabetes, healthy body weight and cancer prevention.
Not only are these mushrooms supremely powerful when it comes to health, but they are also excellent sources of B vitamins, zinc, manganese, vitamin D, copper and antioxidants. Other medicinal mushrooms include cordycepts, turkey tail, chestnut, oyster, enokitake, zhu ling, and shiitake, among others.
The real issue with medicinal mushrooms comes in when you try to figure out how to add them into your diet. They are mushrooms, so they have a strong earthiness (and sometimes a slight bitterness), so the best bet is to pair them with other strong, yet complimentary flavors, like chocolate or black tea.
