Quietly growing in the vast forests of the world is a medicinal powerhouse Hericium erinaceus, a beautiful and superb gourmet edible mushroom, is progressively becoming recognized for a multitude of health promoting effects.

This monograph explores the body of published literature focusing on Hericium as a functional food conferring multiple health promoting effects. The content is current and provides information to both the scientist and non-scientist alike.
