Can I really consume mushrooms and why would I?Updated 6 months ago

Select mushroom varieties have been coined “medicinal” for their adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-enhancing properties. Not only do mushrooms like reishi, chaga and lion’s mane deliver powerful antioxidants, but they also play a big role in preventing chronic disease and promoting cardiovascular health. The compounds that give the mushroom their potent healing qualities are called polysaccharides, which include lentinan, beta-glucans, and triterpenoids. These compounds deliver immune-enhancing, cardiovascular-protective properties, anticancer and antibacterial properties that work with other sterols, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to create a powerful adaptogen.
