Most of the nutrients in mushrooms are behind a cell wall of chitin, which is a fibrous substance consisting of polysaccharides and forming the major constituent in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.

because of this chitin, eating a mushroom raw is not very nutritious and you miss out on most of the health benefits.

"At every level, from the microcellular to the psychological, exercise not only wards off the ill effects of chronic stress; it can also reverse them. Studies show that if researchers exercise rats that have been chronically stressed, that activity makes the hippocampus grow back to its preshriveled state. The mechanisms by which exercise changes how we think and feel are so much more effective than donuts, medicines, and wine. When you say you feel less stressed out after you go for a swim, or even a fast walk, you are." -John J. Ratey, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

As an Electrical Engineering student at North Dakota State University I curled. Our team won the North Dakota State Championship. One of my friends was training for the Korean Olympics. It appears that I overlooked the market for brooms...

It's great to see technology being used to make athletes better even if it means changing technique.
