Mushrooms that Support Breast Cancer Research?

back to roots mushrooms breast
A fungus good to grow for sexual health: the company is donating 5% of their proceeds to support breast cancer research.

A California startup called Back to the Roots is now offering a grow-your-own mushroom garden kit that can be kept inside on a windowsill for anyone with a penchant for urban farming. Consumers from the Middle East can order the Easy-to-Grow Mushroom Garden online for USD 19.95 plus S&H. Besides putting the fun in fungus, mushrooms boost our immune systems and may also tickle a woman’s fancy, at least according to some ancient Egyptian and South Pacific legends.

According to our go-to-site for the sexual health benefits of foods, www.eatsomethingsexy.com, mushrooms have been celebrated for their hallucinogenic effects across cultures and time. Women in particular are thought to respond positively to hormone-like compounds present in certain fungus. Whether or not the varieties provided by Back to the Roots will offer more than nutritional sustenance is not known, but we thought you might like to know some fun facts when you start your own urban sustainable love garden.

Growing these mushrooms is reportedly fun and easy. Just mist twice a day with a provided mister, and within seven days a growing mushroom garden should be apparent. From there the mushrooms typically double in size each day, eventually amounting to a pound of produce per crop.

Back to the Roots says eco-urban farmers can expect two and four crops per kit, and the soil — provided as part of the kit — is made up entirely of recycled coffee grounds; a local, sustainable and healthy alternative for growing your favorite fungus.

We like the fact that five percent of sales are donated to support breast cancer research, which makes this mushroom farm both tasty and eco-sexy.

As our eco-sexpert, she explores ways to make our personal lives more sustainable, whether it’s between a couple, the sheets or our ears. While eco-sexuality is a new term and still unfamiliar to many, being conscious about what we use in moments of intimacy is connected to better stewardship of the planet. The idea that green is sexy and sex can be green is one she is thoroughly enjoying discovering. This married mom of two also believes we owe it to our children to teach them to love themselves, each other, and the environment for futures to come. Intimacy isn’t something we are born knowing. Neither is good stewardship of the earth. In her spare time, she muses about sacred sexuality, conscious love, intimacy, feminism and parenting as the top-rated Modern Love column for Examiner.com and several other media outlets. She composes poetry (mostly in her heart), mediates (when time allows), rides horses in the Galilee, and searches for delicious parve dessert recipes.
