There are approximately 38,000 known species of mushrooms, at least 270 of which are known to possess therapeutic or medicinal properties. The use of medicinal mushrooms in the treatment of human illness dates back thousands of years; notably, Li Shizhen included numerous fungi as effective treatments in his 1578 Compendium of Materia Medica<\/em>, regarded by many as the most comprehensive medical work ever completed in the history of traditional Chinese medicine. Within the past several decades, foresters, pharmacologists, ecologists, and researchers in both the Eastern and Western world have dedicated much clinical research to the effectiveness of medicinal mushrooms and their numerous immunological, antioxidant, anti-metastatic, cardioprotective, and obesity management properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
