Oyster Mushrooms grow all over the world. In fact, they are responsible for some of the most amazing bio-technologies including water filtration and cleaning up and neutralizing environmental toxins (see one of mycologist Paul Stamets' mycoremediation studies here). Known commonly as a gourmet grocery store staple, oyster mushrooms aren't just great eating! They have been shown to have numerous benefits as supplements to a healthy lifestyle, including:
 
- May inhibit replication of virus cells and interfere with microbial imbalances and assaults, such as with Candida albicans overgrowth and with drug-resistant staph, E. coli and strep infections 
- Contains lovastatin, which may help regulate and reduce cholesterol
- Anti-inflammatory action, effectively down-regulating pro-inflammatory pathways for both acute and long-standing systemic inflammation
- May help reduce blood pressure
- May help regulate blood sugar, due to guanide, a powerful anti-hyperglycemic compound they contain
- Heart and liver protecting qualities
- Immuno-modulation (balance)
- and many more!
 
It should suffice to say that Oyster Mushrooms not only protect our planet but are also one of the many gatekeepers of vibrant health for our human bodies.
