Functional mushrooms are special edible mushrooms that have been valued for thousands of years for their special ingredients. In addition to their widespread use in Asia, they have also been known in Europe for centuries, for example from the famous discovery of the ice mummy Oetzi in South Tyrol (3200 BC), alongside whom functional mushrooms were found.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus, Fungus betulinus or clinker polypore) is considered one of the most important functional mushrooms in the Baltics, Russia, Siberia, China, Korea and Japan. This mushroom, which grows high off the ground in birch forests, thrives when exposed to both bitterly cold winters and hot summers. It is exceptionally rich in nutrients, and in the Baltics as well as across what is now known as Russia, the preparation of chaga as a tea has been documented for centuries.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), or lingzhi in China, meaning mushroom of immortality, has been used as a functional mushroom in China for thousands of years.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is, alongside reishi, considered to be one of the most important functional mushrooms and is revered by mushroom connoisseurs for its taste in cuisine.
