Reishi Mushroom
Reishi mushrooms, commonly referred to by names like Gandoderma lucidum, Mannentake and Lingzhi are an edible and medicinal fungus native to Asia that grows in hot and humid regions. Although bitter in taste, reishi can provide many health benefits, and fresh or dried versions may be found fresh or dry as part of tea-making recipes or taken in capsule, tablet or extract powder form as herbal supplements.
Reishi mushrooms contain antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and protect against disease, while their antiviral properties may boost immunity and boost overall wellbeing. Reishi mushroom extract has even been demonstrated as effective against cancer and other health conditions in some studies.
Reishi has been extensively researched for its effects on high blood pressure, with evidence that it improves how the body handles stress and anxiety. Reishi may also help enhance quality of life for people living with lung cancer; early research suggests it may decrease tumor numbers while simultaneously increasing immunity function.
Reishi may help treat other conditions; however, not enough evidence exists to assess its efficacy for other uses. Combinations with certain medications, including aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam and other brands), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and other brands), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn and others), could increase side effect risks; pregnant or nursing mothers should consult with their healthcare provider before taking reishi mushrooms – taking too much could cause side effects such as dry mouth or itching; always follow dosage recommendations found on product labels when taking any supplements!
Shiitake Mushroom
Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are a highly valued ingredient in East Asian cuisines, especially vegetarian-oriented ones. Due to their deep flavor and meaty texture, dried shiitake mushrooms play an integral part in many Japanese dashi soups as well as Chinese soups and simmered dishes adding depth of flavor and umami into dishes.
Shiitake mushrooms are rich sources of copper and potassium minerals, along with protein, vitamin D, dietary fiber and anti-inflammatory compounds such as Lentinan, Eritadenine, Water-Soluble Lignins Centinamycins A & B Centinamycins, as well as beta Glucan Oligosaccharides – making them a delicious vegetarian alternative to meat with similar nutritional values. Additionally they are an excellent choice as an anti-inflammatory solution and offer similar nutritional value as meat products such as centinamycins A& B centinamycins A& B plus beta glucan oligosaccharides derived from them.
Rehydrating shiitake mushrooms requires using cold water rather than hot. Hot water releases guanylic acid which causes an unpleasant bitter taste when used to rehydrate these mushrooms, so for maximum rehydration it should soak for at least 6 hours in cold water or overnight in the fridge to ensure full hydration has taken place.
Start this recipe off right by preheating a large skillet over medium heat, preferably one made of cast iron or stainless steel for even heating distribution. Next, add butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely; this allows shiitake slices to create an irresistibly delicious sear, sealing in flavors for an irresistibly succulent bite!
Once the shiitake slices are ready to be served, simply season with salt and pepper according to taste. A light sprinkle of sesame seeds adds an elegant finishing touch for this simple mushroom dish which makes an excellent side dish or can even be drizzled over soups and sauces for a bold burst of flavor!
Turkey Tail Mushroom
Turkey tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) are among the forest’s most breathtaking fungi, growing in vibrant clusters on decaying wood in temperate forests and serving as an indicator of healthy ecosystems. We should all take time out from our busy lives and appreciate nature; its beauty reminds us that earth truly is magical place.
As their name suggests, turkey tail mushrooms get their moniker from their fan shape and multiple colors that resemble those found on wild turkey feathers. Chinese medicine has long used these powerful medicinal mushrooms to aid health-improving properties; today they’re one of the most researched functional mushrooms with immune-enhancing benefits.
Studies have demonstrated that turkey tail extracts may help prevent cancerous tumors from growing and can counter the immunosuppression caused by chemotherapy treatments, allowing your body to more effectively fight cancer and other conditions.
Turkey tail mushrooms can help strengthen the immune system in another way by increasing natural killer cell activity. Natural killer cells are responsible for killing cancerous cells as well as fighting inflammation related to arthritis; turkey tail mushroom extracts have been shown to boost NK cell activity as well as reduce liver and spleen inflammation.
Turkey tail mushroom extracts have also been demonstrated to improve athletic performance by lowering blood lactate levels and increasing exercise tolerance, both crucial components for effective performance in athletes. High levels of blood lactate can cause fatigue for athletes, so several studies have revealed how turkey tail extracts significantly reduced both lactate and ammonia levels in blood, making long distance exercise sessions more comfortable without tiring quickly.
Many pet parents turn to turkey tail mushroom supplements to strengthen the immune systems of their furry family members, particularly those suffering from arthritis or joint disease. They’re particularly popular for helping dogs recover after surgery or trauma as the antioxidants present can reduce inflammation while the beta glucans provide immune support that promotes healing.
