Fungi are like mushrooms and the king of mushrooms is chaga or at least according to a Chinese Emperor in 2000 bc or actually the austrian glaciar dude from 5300 years ago had some chaga in his pouch. Also it's been a folk remedy for years in Russia. Alexander Solchenitzen rote a book called The Cancer Ward the patients distrusting the allopathic doctors would sneak Chaga into to make a tea of and Solchenitzen is reported to have been cured by chaga. Chaga is also anti-inflammatory think arthritis and cures kidney failure. One woman cured her roomate who had been on dialysis and now the roomate's doctor refers all kidney failure patients to that woman.
