This is Why I Eat Mushrooms and Broccoli Every Day

[Carl in Michigan]

The good news is the studies show an ounce of ANY mushrooms daily is effective with all cancers. Consider adding this to your daily diet. Good health through diet is cheap compared with the medical alternatives

 

[MarathonMike]

Interesting!

 

[Flash]

I have heard that several times. A good cancer fighter.

Another thing is add cinnamon to your daily diet to control blood sugar.

Beautiful, but I bet dangerous

Can you eat Mycena interrupta?


Edibility. It is advised not to eat these as many of the mushrooms in the genus Mycena are poisonous though this shouldn't be an issue as Mycena interrupta is too small to be suitable for any sort of meal.

Turkey tails are easy to find, they are everywhere, extracting their health benefits might not be easy, and supplements are not regulated so you can't trust them. They are edible if you can find a way to consume them, don't know if cooking destroys their medicinal value.

Not named, so can't be compared with similar examples in the genus. What is the source of the photo?

The mushroom in post #4 is not any species of Mycena.

Photo of the Day: Magical mini mushroom spotted in Taipei | Taiwan News | 2023-03-14 13:00:00

Fantastic fungus emerged after three months of watering | 2023-03-14 13:00:00

On Nov. 17, 2022, 32-year-old Eric Cho (卓霆宇), who works as a pharmacist, spotted this species of mushroom near 150, Section 3, Zhishan Road, in Taipei City's Shilin District. The mysterious mushroom is believed to be Mycena subcyanocephala (近藍蓋小菇).

When asked how he found the fungi, Cho said his friend Chiang Pei-ying (蔣珮瑩) informed him that Bixi Trail in Shilin District has a "special tiny mushroom" worth investigating. Cho said that he found one on a piece of wood and took it home.

Still skeptical that is is a Mycena. Nevertheless, eating bleach includes this Mycena:

[badger2]

Yep. It's a Mycena, from 2019. Nothing at Pubmed, no anti-cancer data.

I like them in Chinese fried rice recipes, Salisbury steak, roast beef , salad , battered & fried in olive oil.....

You know your mushrooms. I have no idea if you could bake or fry a TT mushroom, but I'm thinking blending one up and adding it to a smoothie might be the best option. I don't like subjecting anything with medicinal properties to high heat.

I don't like mushrooms or broccoli.

I do like Luiza's list.

My brother grows some blueberries in Hawaii.
He also has lemons, coffee beans , apple bananas and all kinds of veggies.
