This is crazy Ask yourself Who actually BENEFITS from this ban...and who has actually been harmed... Not being banned due to danger just being banned because they want more regulation CRAZY.. Isn't QUORN a novel food ???
Two years ago when I wanted to start my mushroom range with Turkey Tail.
I was told no - TT comes under the ‘novel food act’
I was pi**ed enough then - TT is anticancer and it was my number ONE recommended therapeutic shroom.
And today I woke up to the news that Cordyceps has been added to that list!!!
And honestly?
I’m done pretending this makes any sense.
We’re not talking about dangerous chemicals or back-alley supplements.
We’re talking about medicinal mushrooms used safely for thousands of years, growing in our own forests, backed by solid science.
But apparently:
tradition doesn’t matter.
evidence doesn’t matter.
safe human use doesn’t matter.
Only arbitrary bureaucratic cut-off dates matter.
My good friend Jack from .uk summed it up perfectly:
“This is where well-meaning regulation becomes actively harmful.
Traditional knowledge? Irrelevant.
Centuries of safe use? Irrelevant.
Being native to the UK? Irrelevant.
Only box-ticking counts.”
Meanwhile, other countries are building thriving medicinal mushroom industries while the UK strangles its own with red tape.
It’s not just frustrating — it’s nonsensical, controlling and economically self-defeating.
I’ve spent two years building a fully legal mushroom brand here.
Jumping through hoops, following every rule…
And now one of the safest, most studied fungi on earth is suddenly off the table.
I have a warehouse full of Cordyceps!
Imagine investing years into something, only for someone behind a desk to declare ancient medicine forbidden overnight.
This isn’t about mushrooms anymore!
This is about sovereignty, herbalism, small businesses and our right to traditional medicine!
Bristol Fungarium is taking a stand.
They need support — financially if you can, but also by spreading awareness.

This is the moment we either let bureaucrats erase our medicinal heritage…
or we push back.
Because this fight is only just beginning. 🍄🔥
