191: New Fungus Lowers Inflammation AND Cancer Cells

New research from Taiwan revealing a rare forest fungus with remarkable anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Discovered growing on the endangered stout camphor tree, this cultivated mushroom produces a compound called N50 F2, a sulfated galacto-glucan that blocks inflammation signals and halts cancer cell proliferation—particularly in lung cancer—by triggering programmed cell death. The study highlights how this fungus bridges traditional medicine and modern biotechnology, showing potential for future health supplements and cancer therapies. KK ties it back to her own journey with inflammation management using mushrooms like reishi, chaga, and turkey tail, and encourages listeners to explore this discovery, stay curious, and keep “lowering inflammation one mushroom at a time.”
