Bengal mushroom can cure cancer: Scientist makes breakthrough finding
Scientists found that the wild mushroom kurkure chhatu (Astraeus asiaticus), commonly found in Birbhum and Bankura, contains compounds that can fight cervical, lung, and breast cancers. Human trials are planned, and early tests show the mushroom extract selectively targets cancer cells while sparing healthy ones, potentially offering an effective, side-effect-free alternative to chemotherapy.
