    Shiitake mushrooms have been researched for their medicinal benefits, most notably their anti-tumor properties in laboratory mice.

    Agaricus - This from Agaricus Power:
    Agaricus has been a big hit in the past few years with its recognition as an alternative treatment support for many diseases including Cancer.


  • Reishi - The B.C. Cancer Agency has this to say baout the reshi mushroom:
    "...reishi may be useful in the form of a supplement during radiotherapy or chemotherapy to reduce various side effects, among them, bone marrow suppression and fatigue.
