Medicinal mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, for their therapeutic properties. In recent years, interest in these mushrooms has grown in the Western world, and scientific research has begun to explore their potential health benefits.

Medicinal mushrooms are a rich source of bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans, polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and phenolic compounds, which are thought to be responsible for their therapeutic effects. These compounds have been shown to have immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant properties, among others.
