fungtion with George and Phoebe

After managing a tired body, a family history of neurocognitive disorders, and a couple of intense snowboarding injuries that should have left him paralyzed, George Moulton turned to plant medicine. Quickly, he discovered that nature really can heal the body. Moulton used mushrooms to heal himself physiologically, leading him to create something that would help others heal.

“I had a formula I was working on,” Moulton recalls. “I knew I wanted Lion’s Mane [mushrooms] for memory and focus, Cordyceps because it was the athlete’s mushroom for stamina and performance… And I wanted something enjoyable that people would actually want to take every day.”

This would form the basis for Moulton’s company fungtion, and its signature mushroom elixir. Shortly after his epiphany, Moulton met Phoebe McPherson; now head of Brand and Education for fungtion, McPherson is an herbalist with a background in plants and mushrooms. She’s spent years learning about mushrooms and plants from wisdom keepers, psychologists, scientists, facilitators, and alchemists in the field, also personally working and building relationships with nature herself.
