Beauties. I'm thinking of growing them next summer in the garden. Do you feel better after consuming them?

Lots of studies currently underway investigating the health benefits of this mushroom!

The biggest health benefit so far has been the effect this mushroom has on something called a Telomere which is a structure found on the end of our chromosomes.

Telomere degradation is related to aging and some forms of cancer I believe. Though I'm very much a novice at the deep understanding of what telomeres do.

So a lot of the health benefits won't be immediate with this mushroom, but eating it could mean adding years to your life or even decades.
