Why Mushrooms Are Having A Moment
'Mush love' is exploding right now and with good reason. In the kitchen, mushrooms are revered as the best natural alternative to meat; high in bioavailable proteins, balanced amino acids, natural vitamin D and rich in gut healthy fibre. They make extraordinary steaks, with bite!
But mushrooms are way more than just food. Mushrooms are medicine. In fact many of our pharmaceuticals are derived from compounds found exclusively in fungi.
The humble fungus belongs to a kingdom unto itself. With potentially as many species as there are plants and herbs. With long established healing properties that we westerners are just beginning to uncover for ourselves. Here, we select the preeminent leaders of the mushroom realm.
