The medicinal mushrooms have proved to be a honestly intriguing alternative in this regard. Utilizing these compounds might be a reasonable first line of defense against because traditional ethnomedicinal substances have existed a rich source of bioactive fragments with various pharmacological actions, including antiviral action.
