I am going to do some research on Turkey-Tail because it looks most interesting to me. This Turkey-Tail mushroom is widely known for usage of medicine, enhancing the immune system. By consuming this mushroom, we can ingest myriads of antioxidants which lowers the oxidative stress by balancing out unstable molecules. As a result, we can lower the chance of getting inflammation and cellular damage. Also, it contains a lot of polysaccharopeptides which boosts up the immune system. Indeed, it is known to suppress certain tumors and used for cancer treatment. After researching about Turkey-Tail mushroom, I was impressed with the diversity of fungi that it can be both beneficial and harmful to humans in various ways.
