University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School researchers reported that the mushroom, Rozites caperata, otherwise known as “gypsy”, may provide protection against herpes, influenza A, and other viruses. In vitro test, the mushroom prevented herpes simplex 1 and 2 from growing and it lessened the severity of ‘herpes-related’ eye disease in mice. The mushroom also blocked influenza A, varicella zoster ‘virus’, chicken pox, and a respiratory ‘virus’.
