It seems like mushrooms are all that anyone’s talking about in health food circles right now. While these aren’t of the hallucinogenic variety, they almost feel like “magic mushrooms” in their own rite: various types have been touted for boosting immunity, fighting cancer, and containing high amounts of antioxidants (hello, anti-aging!)
