The economic viability of mushroom cultivation in the US is often achieved by including mycelium in products or producing liquid extracts.

Consumers should understand their reasons for using mushroom products and make informed decisions based on their needs.

Mushrooms have various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects.

Different mushroom species have unique compounds and properties that can support specific health goals.
