The spores of Agaricus blazei Murill were introduced to Japan in the mid-1960s and are now an integral part of Japanese culture and cuisine. Papers have since been published claiming its anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties. Anti-tumor properties were reported by The National Cancer Center Research Institute of Japan and The Japanese Pharmacological Society. In Japan, Agaricus blazei Murill has also been used to improve damaged liver function. The mushroom was further popularized by former U.S. President Ronald Regan, who consumed the mushroom as part of his treatment against skin cancer.

Antrodia cinnamomea is a medicinal fungus found only in Taiwan, well-known for its miraculous effect on a number of health conditions. For instance, it is known to boost strength and well-being, and to reduce fatigue. It is a precious rarity, as it grows slowly only in the inner trunk cavities of the local tree C. kanehirai. This rare combination of slow growth and host requirement makes this fungus currently one of the highest priced food items.
