Retaining the structure of mushrooms is important to preserve the variety of beneficial compounds, such as fiber and other essential elements. However, in the case of medicinal mushrooms, extracting and concentrating specific active fractions may be necessary due to the challenge of consuming sufficient quantities. Regular consumption of mushrooms is advisable, with a recommendation to include them in the diet daily if possible, or at least three times a week. The importance of consuming a diverse range of mushroom species is emphasized, as their specific advantages are not fully understood. Additionally, products like mushroom teas and coffees contain minimal amounts of actual mushrooms and should not be considered equivalent to consuming whole mushrooms.
