Make Way for “Fungi Perfecti”
****************************
I’ve been hearing for years about the company mycologist at New Chapter, Paul Stametz, who up until recently helped them put out the immune formula “Host Defense” as well as their fairly extensive line of mushroom concoctions. No longer associated with New Chapter, Paul has started his own company Fungi Perfecti and taken along with him the trademark name “Host Defense” as the title of his new line of mushroom products. Mr. Stametz probably has more to say about fungi than anyone you’ll ever meet. As I once quoted from his Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms:
“Not only are mushrooms a protein-rich food source for humans, but the byproducts of mushroom cultivation unlocks nutrients for other members of the ecological community. The rapid return of nutrients back into the ecosystem boosts the life cycles of plants, animals, insects (bees), and soil microflora. The soil that fungi produce sustains, ultimately all life. The complex activity of mushroom allies allows habitats to achieve degrees of biological intensity that are absent in fungally impoverished habitats. It is the fungal web that holds habitats together.”

I’m excited to be carrying some Fungi Perfecti products in our store, including “MyCommunity”, the new immune booster, which is the “Host Defense” formula made the way Paul Stametz intended.
