Global Functional mushrooms are loaded with polysaccharides and antioxidants, so consuming a large variety of these can improve many aspects of health. They may improve sleep, reduce stress, improve the immune system, and even boost the mood. They're also safe to consume and do not cause a high. They are available in powder, capsules, or liquid drinks that contain a certain quantity of functional mushrooms.

Market Dynamics:

Growing demand for functional food and beverages coupled with rising awareness regarding the medicinal benefits of mushrooms are major factors propelling growth of the functional mushroom market. The functional mushroom market is largely dominated by reishi and cordyceps, followed by other types of medicinal mushrooms. Reishi helps to improve lymphocyte function, which helps fight infections and cancer in athletes exposed to stressful conditions. Also, Cordyceps, mostly used by many professional athletes to increase endurance, stamina, and energy, and also to reduce recovery time after a strenuous workout, increases mitochondrial ATP synthesis by as much as 40%. All these medicinal mushrooms are used to boost and balance the consumer's immune system.

On the other hand, high costs and low public awareness regarding functional mushrooms are key factors hindering market growth.
