They provide an excellent source of selenium and polysaccharides along with iron, protein, fibre and vitamin C.

Maitake appears to help prevent tumor growth and shiitake contains eritadenine, a substance that lowers cholesterol levels. Other varieties such as portobello have healing properties too.
