Health Benefits of Mushrooms

What
is the D-Faction in Maitake Mushrooms?
One of the most exciting new mushrooms to emerge is maitake, Grifola frondosa.
A choice edible that is highly prized by wild mushroom hunters, maitake is now
being cultivated thereby insuring a steady supply for the first time. A mushroom
without the common cap and gills, this polypore has multiple branching stems with
flowery ruffled caps. Although there is scant evidence of use in traditional Chinese
medicine, recent scientific research in Japan has shown maitake to contain significant
active polysaccharides. Read

What
You Should Know About Medicinal Mushrooms
Over the past ten years there has been a steady flow of articles on reishi, shiitake,
and maitake mushrooms and their healing properties. This flow has increased dramatically,
to the point where in 2000, articles appeared in four separate publications. Whereas
there were only 2 or three mushroom products on the market ten years ago, today
there are dozens, with more appearing each day. Considering that reishi has a
history of use that spans 2 thousand years and is as highly revered in the Orient
as ginseng, one could readily compare its market potential to ginseng. Read

Yet in Europe and Asia, mushrooms occupy a special place and their markets offer
dozens of tasty species to choose from. What do they know that we have forgotten?
