Mushrooms are a nutrition item and not to be confused with medicine. Benefits are increased immunity to colds maybe but there are multiple types. The main ones are shiitake, maitake and reishii. Reishii are really the supershroom that gives the best benefit health and nutrition wise by taking dry mushrooms, dried red ginger from a Chinese herbalilst and putting in a crock pot and drinking the juice like tea. Benefits are plenty but curing cancer isn't one. It is more boosting immunity from things like colds but not even sure other than the first two really taste good!
