A new study found that polysaccharides from the split gill polypore (Schizophyllum commune) could help fight brain cancer. In lab tests, these mushroom compounds slowed the growth of glioma cells by 47.39%, without toxic side effects. The polysaccharides also boosted beneficial gut bacteria in mice, potentially supporting overall health while fighting tumors.
