Particularly useful are the photographs and descriptions of the different cultivated varieties - among them white, crimini, portobello, shiitake, enoki, maitake and oyster along with the nutritional information on the various varieties - from 19 calories in 3 ounces of white or crimini mushrooms to 41 calories in the same amount of shiitake. I also recommend the pure, bitter, sour, pungent fruit of the cranberry or noni plant, maitake mushroom extract, raw garlic, and probiotics (foods that contain live bacteria, such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and miso). Maitake tea is an antifungal tea that also helps to rebalance the intestines; drink the strongly brewed tea throughout the day for two weeks (4 to 6 cups a day). |
