People are drinking special smoothies made with medicinal mushrooms to help them reduce stress.

Medicinal mushrooms are believed to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. They may also be able to help lower stress levels. The mushrooms are showing up in different cafes, and as ingredients in health food products like broth, coffee, extracts, and chocolate. Some cafes in the U.S. are even dedicated to medicinal mushrooms, like the Shroom Room in Venice Beach, which serves special mushroom lattes, hot cocoas, and elixirs.

One study predicts medicinal mushrooms will become a $50 billion market in the next six years. They have long been used in some Asian cultures to treat illnesses. Some of the more commonly-used varieties are reishi, turkey tail, shiitake, and maitake.
