Steve Payne and Collette Zack presented their passion for mushrooms at La Grande Rotary this week. After their positive experience in using lions mane and reishi to help his Steve’s mom improve cognitive function and kidney health after brain surgery, they found their passion in researching mushrooms. They have now embarked on a venture to help others by providing medicinal mushrooms to the community. As they search out native species and then explore ways to cultivate these locally, they hope to provide fresh, dried, and powered forms that people can add to their diet in a variety of ways.
