Health benefits of Mushrooms






    Mushrooms are always healthy to have, provided you know to differentiate the edible ones from the others. Always be aware of selecting them. A single poisonous mushroom among others can send a whole lot of people to coma, induce severe poisoning symptoms, nausea, vomiting, convulsions, cramps, insanity or worst, can kill them. Avoid eating discolored mushrooms or those which are different in color than the characteristic color of their species.

mushrooms have a unique taste but certain mushrooms like psilocybin mushrooms have psychoactive properties  where they have been used for mental and physical healing, and to facilitate visionary states. They are commonly known as  "magic mushrooms," "mushies" or "shrooms."  

So try not to pick them from your garden unless you have thorough knowledge in it. Get them from grocery stores. But do not worry most of us use them.

Edible mushrooms are always healthy to have in a lean diet. The health benefits of mushroom include relief from high cholesterol levels, breast cancer, prostrate cancer, and diabetes. It also helps in weight loss, increasing immunity.
