Jerry Angelini is the national science educator for one of my favorite mushroom companies, Host Defense. I learned about the company and its’ creator Paul Stamets about 15 years ago. Since that time I’ve been following their research and reading Paul’s books. Mushrooms have always been an important part of my life, possibly because of my heritage. I truly became fascinated by mushrooms, however, once I started exploring the research and health benefits.
