Mushrooms, the fruiting bodies of fungi, are high in fiber and protein, and provide vitamins and minerals. Mushrooms are known to contain the antioxidants Ergothioneine and Selenium1. Mushrooms are thought to benefit the immune system, and the oyster mushroom is known to contain cholesterol inhibiting compounds known as statins. In addition, certain mushrooms are known to have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties in cell culture (in vitro).
