Are Mushrooms a superfood?

[enviroTodd]

I'm seeing a lot of adds for mushroom coffee, chaga mushrooms and all sorts of things singing the praises of these foods. Are they really that good for you or is it marketing hype?

They're a nutritious food. I wouldn't call them a superfood. They're definitely good for you.

A lot of people call them superfoods. I think they are as much as any other food is, like eggs or blueberries. No food is absolutely complete for everything you need, but I think they're high in nutrition, so it doesn't hurt to think of them like that.
