More than 14,000 mushrooms have been identified worldwide--of those, only about 3,000 are edible for humans, and of those, approximately 700 have been shown to exert health protective benefits.
Overall, many mushrooms are good sources of potassium, niacin, riboflavin and selenium. Reishi and maitake are very high in beta glucans, a derivative that has been widely studied for its role in reducing risk of certain cancers.--Vitamin Retailer Magazine, July 2012.
