Mushrooms have long been recognized for their adaptogenic properties, known to strengthen immunity and reduce inflammation. Chaga and Reishi mushrooms contain prebiotics which support healthy gut bacteria while Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail varieties may even promote brain health through producing the Nerve Growth Factor bioprotein.

Furthermore, certain mushrooms are high-FODMAP foods, which may worsen symptoms for people living with certain gastrointestinal conditions like IBS.
