Medicinal Mushrooms

Introduction

Medicinal mushrooms are unique fungi that contain bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, terpenoids and phenolic compounds, which contribute to their medicinal properties. In contrast to ‘magic mushrooms’ (psychedelics), medicinal mushrooms are primarily valued for their therapeutic properties and potential health benefits, rather than their hallucinogenic effects. Research on medicinal mushrooms is gaining momentum, revealing their potential in promoting health and wellbeing.
