Mushroom香菇
Signature ingredient: Ergothioneine — C-grade evidence (Cardiovascular Disease, ~40% of the studied dose per serving)
Standard nutrients per USDA FoodData Central · phytochemicals (lutein / K2 / sulforaphane etc.) are literature estimates, varying by variety and processing
S / A … ingredient evidence tier (tap for the claim) | bar = how much of the studied dose one serving of Mushroom gives you
Meaningful intake one serving delivers a real fraction of the studied dose
Copper
0.3mg · 33% DV
A Micronutrient Deficiency →
＋ Neuropathy B・Cardiovascular Disease C
≈ 33% of studied dose
Ergothioneine
2mg · Antioxidant unique to fungi (preliminary evidence)
C Cardiovascular Disease →
＋ Cognitive Function C・Oxidative Stress U
≈ 40% of studied dose
Trace contribution far below the studied dose — not a therapeutic source
Beta-Glucan
0.5g · Lower than oats, falls short of the 3 g studied dose

≈ 17% of studied dose
Why this page doesn't claim "Mushroom works"
Whole foods almost never have RCTs — the evidence sits on the ingredients. So this page does one honest thing: it lists which graded ingredients Mushroom contains, how much, and how far that is from the studied dose. It makes no efficacy claim about Mushroom itself.
Bottom line: The mushroom's distinctive feature is ergothioneine (an antioxidant unique to fungi, with still-preliminary human evidence); copper and selenium are everyday amounts. Ordinary cultivated mushrooms have almost no vitamin D - only sun-exposed ones do. It's not a high-evidence therapeutic food.
