WHILE THE ABOVE PICTURE is the common cooking mushroom, there is another called Crimini Mushroom that is full of nutrients. A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus.
Most mushrooms that are sold in supermarkets have been commercially grown on mushroom farms. The most popular of these, Agaricus bisporus, is generally considered safe for most people to eat because it is grown in controlled, sterilized environments, though some individuals do not tolerate it well.
Common mushroom varieties contain heart healthy fibres, says researchers investigating the carbohydrate content of mushrooms.
Studies from Asia have found compounds in mushrooms, particularly from maitake and shiitake, reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. As a source of potassium, they can cut the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Moreover, a 3-ounce portobello mushroom contains about as much potassium as a small banana. Researchers believe that both raw and cooked forms provide cardiovascular benefits.
Cancer Protection
 Certain mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine and have been studied for their anti-cancer properties. The scientific name of one powerful mushroom is Agaricus Blazei Murrill, more commonly called the ABM mushroom and sometimes referred to as Agaricus Brasiliennis. A well-known rain forest herbal manufacturer has used this as the main ingredient in herbal supplements that have been credited with success against cancer. In a study conducted by Dr. Shoji Shibata, a professor at Tokyo University, many other well known cancer-fighting and immune-boosting mushrooms were compared to the ABM, including Reishi and Shiitake. Dr. Shibata`s results found the other mushrooms were not as effective as the ABM. Other Japanese and British studies have shown the ABM mushroom to have the highest levels of beta-glucan of any mushroom. Alongside to beta glucans, agaricus also contains derivatives of ergosterol, a potent anti-tumor agent. Moreover, in many published studies, the rate of cure for all types of cancer has been in the high ninety percentile range, even for stage 4 lung cancer, where many complete remissions are often seen in just a few weeks. One brand of suppliments, which has nothing to do with us or our site, is Naturo ImmunOHealth® Pure Agaricus Blazei Murill.
Alzheimer's Disease
Research published in the Journal of Neurology suggests that regular consumption of niacin-rich foods, like crimini mushrooms, provides protection against Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline. Researchers from the Chicago Health and Aging Project once interviewed over 3,500 Chicago residents 65 years old or older and then tested their cognitive abilities over the following six years. Those getting the most niacin from foods (22 mg per day) were 70% less likely to have developed Alzheimer's disease than those consuming the least (about 13 mg daily), and their rate of age-related cognitive decline was significantly less.
Concerns
Mushroom poisoning, also known as mycetism, refers to harmful effects from ingestion of toxic substances present in a mushroom. These symptoms can vary from slight gastrointestinal discomfort to death. The toxins present are secondary metabolites produced in specific biochemical pathways in the fungal cells. Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a toxic mushroom as an edible species. Even very experienced wild mushroom gatherers are upon rare occasion poisoned by eating toxic species, despite being well aware of the risks, through carelessness.
To prevent mushroom poisoning, mushroom gatherers need to be very intimately familiar with the mushrooms they intend to collect, including knowledge of the toxic species that look similar to these edible species. Other considerations regard methods of preparation and toxicity of some fungal species that appears to vary with geographic location, raising the potential of mushroom poisoning due to local toxicity of a correctly identified species.

Poisonious "Mario" Mushrooms
 
Mario is a fictional character in his eponymous video game series, created by Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto.
In Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Mario saves Princess Toadstool (later known as Princess Peach) of the Mushroom Kingdom.
One mushroom similar to this in both looks and effects is the Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly Amanita, is a poisonous and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Amanita muscaria poisoning typically occurs in either young children or people ingesting it for a hallucinogenic experience. Additionally, the white spots may be washed away during heavy rain and it can then appear similar to the edible A. caesarea.
The terms "mushroom" and "toadstool" go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application. The term "toadstool" was often, but not exclusively, applied to poisonous mushrooms or to those that have the classic umbrella-like cap-and-stem form. Between 1400 and 1600 A.D., the terms tadstoles, frogstooles, frogge stoles, tadstooles, tode stoles, toodys hatte, paddockstool, puddockstool, paddocstol, toadstoole, and paddockstooles sometimes were used synonymously with mushrom, mushrum, muscheron, mousheroms, mussheron, or musserouns. Since Tod is a direct cognate to death, in that case it would be a German borrowing.
The term "mushroom" and its variations may have been derived from the French word mousseron in reference to moss (mousse). The toadstool's connection to toads may be direct, in reference to some species of poisonous toad, or may just be a case of phono-semantic matching from the German word. However, there is no clear-cut delineation between edible and poisonous fungi, so that a "mushroom" may be edible, poisonous, or unpalatable. The term "toadstool" is nowadays used in storytelling when referring to poisonous or suspect mushrooms. The classic example of a toadstool is Amanita muscaria.

Joni's Testimony
Ten years ago, Joni Olive-Badalian fought cancer and won--with prayer and Juicing. She had surgery and a little chemo, but the doctor said her cancer was gone prior to this. The rest was so that it never returned. He then asked her husband George, "What denomination of faith are you?"
