We’ve always loved them on our plates, but lately, mushrooms are showing up in more unusual places. We’ve been adding superfood mushrooms to our morning lattes for years now, thanks to their adaptogenic benefits for skin health and immunity. So, it didn’t surprise us when the ‘shrooms started hitting the beauty aisles.
