Most of us have been exposed to or cooked with a few of the most common culinary mushrooms like portabella white button, etc.
However, there is a class of mushroom known as medicinal mushrooms. these medicinal healing mushrooms aren't designed for flavor-enhancement, though they can be used in recipes. They are typically consumed in tea form, in tinctures and extracts, and in capsules in the form of powders.
These medicinal mushrooms include the reishi and agaricus mushrooms (or agaricus blazei mushroom) as well as maitake, shitake, as well as coriolus mushroom. There are many more, but these are some of the most well-known.
These medicinal mushrooms share much in common with human beings in terms of genetic and chemical structure. Many scientists claim that mushrooms are more similar to human beings genetically than almost any other plant.
Based on this there are some "higher level" mushrooms, often called the "medicinal mushrooms" (NOT magic mushrooms! ), can positively heal and affect the mind, body, emotions and soul of people who consume the mushrooms.
Reishi mushroom is among the preeminent healing mushrooms of China (though it is found in other parts of the world as well). Reishi mushroom is sometimes referred to as "the mushroom of immortality" because it is able to be consumed every day as an invigorating "herb" and it useful in prolonging life.
Reishi mushroom is often utilized (in in the East) to boost the immune system for people suffering from HIV as well as cancer. Reishi is also purported to help reduce inflammation, help with fatigue, help heal viruses in the body, as well as to ease stress and calm the spirit, enabling people to be more mindful and connect with Spirit more easily.

Maitake mushroom is used in the prevention of cancer as well as in helping to manage the effects of high cholesterol and diabetes. Maitake enhances the activity of natural killer cells in the body, thereby helping to eliminate the body of immune system problems.
