It includes a discussion of the major categories of active molecules found in mushrooms, as well as chapters on the evidence for the use of mushrooms in different cancers and for other common clinical conditions, as well as a quick reference guides to the use of mushrooms for different health conditions and a short addendum on their energetic properties according to traditional Chinese medicine.
