depends on what mushrooms you are eating, of course. A lot of them are very high in protein (by dried weight).
Aside from nutrition, a lot of mushrooms contain compounds that fight cancer and boost a lot of other immune functions.
Paul Stamets is THE MAN on research into this. He published a book on it that you can order from http://fungi.com/info/index.html
