As Editor-in Chief, journalist George Webster helped conceive CNN Style, working in the dynamic world of global media, until he discovered a passion for functional mushrooms and the fascinating fungi kingdom.
Describing himself as an amateur mycologist, George turned entrepreneur. Frustrated by the seeming lack of high-quality mushroom supplements on the market, he founded The Functional Mushroom Company.
George takes us on a journey which began more than a billion years ago, sharing stories from the discovery of fungi in space to the well-documented health benefits of intriguing ancient species like lion’s mane, chaga, turkey tail, cordyceps and reishi.
