Mushrooms, Candida and Hot Weather

Everything is itchier and sweatier in summer, not least candida!
Food strategies for candida can really help, but here is a thought about mushrooms. It is important to avoid mushrooms if you have Candida but not medicinal mushrooms. Medicinal mushrooms like Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) are in fact a rich source of antifungals. They need anti-bacterial and anti-fungal compounds to survive in nature, so we can use these components to our advantage and help rid us of fungal overgrowth. Another reason is that medicinal mushrooms do not contain simple sugars that encourage Candida growth like the food source ones, which do.
