| Abstract: | This article is presenting Lentinula edodes, commonly known as 'shiitake mushroom'. Coming from the Far East, the mushroom is composed of various bioactive chemicals which all contribute to its medical benefits. From preventing cancer to mitigating the reduction of T-cells in HIV-positive patients, the market value of this superfood might increase from $2.3 billion in 2021 to $4.7 billion by 2030. In light of its medical potential, further medical research has to be conducted to fully understand the 'shiitake mushroom' recognized by western Europe as 'Black Forest Mushrooms'. |
