Consumption of this medicating wonder
You should not eat medicinal mushrooms raw. Some of the positive properties are not activated until liquidized or otherwise prepared. Medicinal mushroom extracts can be found in powdered form for better consumption. Liquid extraction is best: cold water to extract metabolites, hot water to extract immune system stimulating properties and alcohol extraction to acquire antioxidants and smaller compounds which target specific issues. You can add these liquids to drinks, smoothies, and soups. You can also infuse mushroom extracts into other substances such as coffee beans.
