They don't have much nutritional value from what I see. I understand that they are supposed to have antioxidants but would they even have more antioxidants than other foods like fruits and vegetables?

Not sure about the nutritional/antioxidant profile but from what I know they have beeen implicated in brain health, anti-bacterial properties, anti-viral properties and anti-cancer properties. YouTube Paul Stamets and the health benefits or pick up his book mycelium running as it has section on health benefits if you’re interested.
It depends on the mushroom. They are nutritious but there are ones with crazy health benefits. Lion's mane boosts memory, brain power, athletic performance, etc. and is worth taking as a powder. They are expensive to buy whole but are rather tasty imo. You could probably grow them.
Generally it's just good to eat a mix of plants to cover all bases (a lot of nutritional stuff is still unknown anyway), so you could have mushrooms sometimes and sometimes not.
