MycoHerb - Pioneers in Nutritive Mushroom Preparation
Western medicine celebrated the development of the single most valuable botanical of this century, penicillin, obtained in 1928 from a fungus. This spawned the entire class of life-saving antibiotics. There are over 100,000 species within the broad category of fungi, of which the penicillin mold is one, and there are 38,000 species of mushrooms. Clinical research today continues to document the health benefits of select fungi.
In China, mushrooms are used as part of Fu zheng therapy that benefits the entire organism. In traditional terms these herbs would be said to support defensive Qi, the Wei. In modern language, this translates as herbs that strengthen immunity.
