Health Benefits:
Who likes to eat mushrooms? It’s one of the best foods to improve immunity as well as fight inflammation. Always cook mushrooms before eating.

They aren’t even plants at all; they belong to an entirely different biological classification and may contain nutrients (like ergothioneine) not made anywhere in the plant kingdom. They have an array of unique myconutrients that may boost our immune function and trigger a dramatic rise in antibody production, there by increasing immunity.
Mushrooms may also have an anti-inflammatory effect. In vitro studies have shown that a variety of mushrooms, including the plain white button variety, appear to blunt the inflammatory response, potentially offering a boost in immune and anticancer function without aggravating diseases of inflammation.
Let’s stack mushrooms up against the real thing. Human breast cancer cells in a petri dish. If you do nothing, they just keep growing and proliferating at the same rate. But, if you add the raw material the cancer cells use to make their own estrogen, they take full advantage, and grow like crazy, ten times as fast. But then, as you add more and more white mushroom extract to shut off estrogen manufacturing, you can get cancer growth almost back to baseline.
