They also contain selenium, which isn't found in most fruits and vegetables. Some mushrooms are also a source of Vitamin D, potassium, and folate. Let me take a moment to de-mystify mushrooms for you.Mushrooms represent a largely unexplored world especially in the Western hemisphere. They are not considered a plant because they don't undergo photosynthesis. They are a fungus. When it comes to fungi, there are over 5,000 different species in North America alone and many of them are wildly popular in the culinary world.Several Eastern cultures have long recognised mushrooms for their health promoting attributes. Over the last fifty years, scientists mostly in the Eastern world have finally begun to validate their many potential health benefits.Over 300 different species of mushrooms are now thought to have potential for promoting health. Evidence continues to emerge, confirming how mushroom proteins, trace minerals, polysaccharides, amino acids and fibre promote overall heath.These and other compounds found in mushrooms are now believed to help: Support immune function.Promote normal cellular growth.Protect against environmental stressesSupport your body's normal detoxification process.Preserve cellular structure.Support healthy gut flora.Promote optimal digestion.In other words, mushrooms are increasingly thought to play many different roles: adaptogens, antioxidants, detoxifying agents just to name a few.If you have ever wanted to grow mushrooms to save money buying them, you might also consider growing them as a small start-up business. Once you learn the basics of mushroom cultivation, it does not take much more effort or training to grow them in sufficient quantities to market and sell. Because mushrooms remain in high demand and command many dollars per pound, you can sell them to wholesalers or offer them at retail prices and make a hefty profit.
