The natural world is a treasure trove of wonders, and often, the most extraordinary secrets are hidden right beneath our feet. Among these veiled marvels lies the kingdom of fungi – a realm so vast and diverse that we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of its potential. It’s estimated that there are somewhere between 2.2 to 3.8 million species of fungi on Earth, a staggering figure that dwarfs the plant and animal kingdoms combined. Yet, incredibly, we’ve only managed to study and record a mere 4% of these fungal entities.
Think about that for a moment: a vast, hidden world of life, most of which remains a complete mystery.
This vast unknown, however, isn’t just a curiosity for mycologists; it’s a frontier brimming with possibilities, particularly in the realm of healing. The healing potential of fungi is, to put it mildly, incredible. From the common mushroom that graces our dinner plates to the less known medicinal species, fungi have demonstrated a remarkable ability to support human health, offering a natural and often powerful alternative to traditional medicine.

In this book, we are looking at a few common mushrooms, their healing properties, bioactive compounds as well as their medicinal use.
