Mushrooms produce several important medicinal compounds in both the mycelium (the web-like mass of cells that is sort of like the root structure of the mushroom, and is often located in the ground or tree) and the fruiting body-what we call the actual mushroom.
The medicinal compounds in mushrooms are primarily antibiotics, ergosterols, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and triterpenes.
