What it does
It is one of the 25 mushrooms in Shroom Therapy. It has a long history as a traditional tonic, and is often called an adaptogen today. Its orange colour comes from natural carotenoid pigments. Like all mushrooms, it contains beta-glucans, sugars that hold water, which add to the mask's soft feel.
