Mushrooms & immune function 

With mushrooms offering so many nutritional and antioxidant benefits the next step was to check the mushrooms effect on the broader human physiology. Preliminary reports indicate that mushrooms do indeed boost immune function.

Many of these studies have focused on exotic mushrooms, but a recent paper found that white button mushrooms enhanced the action of natural killer cells in mice (Wu 2007) and reduced the severity of arthritis in mice (Chandra 2011). Another report from Pennsylvania State University showed that mushroom extracts given to mice decreased inflammation and increased the anti-cancer immune response (Yu 2009).
