Feeding mushroom powder to your flock....

[Bocktobery 10]

Does anyone know much about feeding mushroom powders to chickens? I was able to find one study on it. Basically said that there were some noticeable benefits. But I’d like to know how much to put in feed and if there are some mushrooms (edible to humans) that chickens shouldn’t have? Also has anyone used mushrooms to help a sick chicken to recover?

Do you happen to have a link to this study you mention?
I'd like to read it.

I’m not certain if this was the exact one, but here are a few. Sorry, I should have posted it before and I can’t remember which one it was, but these are very close to what I read...

I have no information for you but I want you to know the first article is almost a meta analysis of multiple papers studying mushroom use, the types and how much they fed and it was a very interesting read. Almost makes me want to try it, though I would have no idea how to get the varieties that work best in power form! Hope you post if you find out more.
