6 Superstar Mushrooms

Mushrooms are very unique in the sense that they are neither plants nor animals - they are their own unique Fungi kingdom with a special mix of bioactive compounds.

It is their beta-glucan activity and active compounds that give mushrooms their healing and high-performance properties.

How to pick your medicinal mushrooms - the correct way:

• beta-glucan activity is important
