Porcini Mushrooms have been found to have the second-highest content of the nutrient ergothioneine, which may be considered the 15th essential vitamin. Ergothioneine is an important antioxidant that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through the diet. It has been linked to various health benefits, including protection against diseases such as Crohn's disease and preeclampsia. Mushrooms, particularly porcini and golden oyster mushrooms, are a rich source of ergothioneine. Consuming mushrooms regularly may help reduce the risk of cognitive impairment and other health conditions.
