Since the begin of time, man has been able to use what was around him to better his life. He learnt to use animals for food and transport, plants like trees for shelter and though it might have taken some time he eventually discovered various types of “functional mushrooms” and their uses (Lion Mane, Reishi, Chaga). 

All about the uses and risks of the different types of “functional mushrooms” and their uses (Lion Mane, Reishi, Chaga) 

According to various studies conducted all around the world, human beings have used mushrooms in their day to day lives since around 2660 B.C. Since then, the use of mushrooms has been expanded especially in the times that we live in where science and pharmaceutical industries are at an all time high. In this short article, we shall only discuss three types of “functional mushrooms” and uses (Lion Mane, Reishi, Chaga) 

Lion Mane 

This particular type of mushroom was first used in the highland regions of Asia where it was greatly revered for its great medicinal properties.  It was used by the people in the region for general body wellness and longevity of life. In the modern world, Lion Mane is used as a protection against Dementia (a disability that is characterized by memory loss), depression, to strengthen the immune system and to lower the risk of heart disease. 

Reishi 

Reishi mushroom, scientifically known as Ganoderma linghzhi was first discovered and is commonly known to grow in the Northern parts of America. Though it may not have as colourful history as Lion Mane, that does not mean that it is not equally as useful. Reishi is known to enhance the immune system, combat insomnia, lessen fatigue, decrease stress and aid in helping with hyper-tension. It plays a great role among the types of functional mushroom and uses (Lion Mane, Reishi, Chaga). 

Chaga 

Known as “Gift from God” or “King of herbs”, Chaga (Inonotus obliqus) has been in use in Europe and some parts of the United States for thousands of years. The mushroom is known for its several medicinal purposes such as boosting the immune system, diabetes treatment, heart disease and has shown great promise in the treatment of cancer especially liver, breast and uterine cancer. Tests are still being done on this mushroom to find out what other medicinal puzzles it can help scientists solve. 

Risks 

It is a globally accepted fact that nothing can be completely perfect. Sadly, this fact also applies to the types of mushrooms outlined above. For instance, Reishi is known to cause dizziness and rashes in some people. Lion mane is known to cause difficulty in breathing and skin rashes while Chaga is known to contain a protein that prevents blood clotting. However, these side effects are known to affect only one of every ten people that use them. 

These types of “functional mushrooms” and uses (Lion Mane, Reishi, Chaga) have aided humanity in making great medical advancements and continue to be an important part of our lives.
