Reishi Mushrooms Fight Inflammation and Cancer

People who love mushrooms, particularly the reishi variety (Ganoderma lucidum), will be interested in knowing that not only do they possess certain properties that fight inflammation, but many age-related conditions as well. According to a 2017 study, reishi mushrooms have been found to prevent lung cancer, one of the most common types in both men and women. A 2018 study found that an extract of the reishi mushroom, noted as "a medicinal mushroom with anticancer activity, acts on breast cancer stem cells in vitro."
