Ridiculous title, I know. Sorry about that.

Many years ago when I got back into weightlifting, I discovered a YouTuber named Jeff Nippard who took a science based approach to weightlifting. He would utilize peer reviewed studies to put together routines, diets, and specific tips for various topics. It was incredibly helpful.

I’ve always been interested in adding mushrooms into my diet, but the mushroom world online is littered with snake oil salesmen and misinformation.

Does anybody know of a YouTuber that takes a science based approach to educating others about the benefits of various mushrooms for health and wellness as well as how to source legitimate products and what details to look for?

Basically: there are none

treat em like any other ingredient, vegetable, whatever

Also get into foraging! It's fun!

i think the problem is that the conclusions you are looking for ("benefits of various mushrooms for health and wellness") is likely not supported by the methods you approve of ("science based" ... "peer reviewed studies"). And to whatever extent they are, why would there be a youtuber banging on about it? unless they are sponsored. which is a Conflict Of Interest.

If you like mushrooms.. eat them.
