When we get to "experiment with large double-blind randomized sample shows that..." , then this will be interesting.

"study finds" means very little. You can quite easily make a "study" in all sorts of ways to "find" basically anything you want. It's so easy it often happens just by accident. Particularly in meta-studies like this article references. But that didn't stop them from coming up with a biochemical mechanism. Note to scientists - the theory comes before the conclusion. Otherwise we have Post hoc ergo proctor hoc.

But then why is an unlikely, unverified result put into an article? Who would do this?

"South China Morning Post" ... "For Centuries, Chinese Medicine Practitioners have used mushrooms...."

This article can be safely thrown away.

i bet 1$ that this is a psyops to convince people (residing in china) to eat more shrooms, since they are easy to grow in an industrial scale, so people will be less reliant on imports of food.

You seem very confident judging by the wager amount!
