There is a region in northeast Poland called Białowieża where a 'magic' mushroom has been discovered, Heterobasidion annosum, which kills cancerous cells in colon cancer and does not destroy healthy cells. It is not any alternative medicine 'miracle', but a serious thing which is already under investigation by the Medical University of Białystok: https://www.thefirstnews.com/article/magic-mushrooms-could-fungus-found-in-polish-forest-help-cure-cancer-4020. I've read many articles on it in the serious medical press and it looks promising.

so do I though I'm always cautiously optimistic about
any good news. The positive sign is that some serious international pharmaceutical companies have declared to sponsor further research. So time will show

Although this may not help UC directly, chemo-prevention isn't a bad idea, especially when you're at high risk for colon cancer. It looks a lot like Turkey Tail, which has been studied extensively for anti-cancer properties and is used currently in Japan in conjunction with chemotherapy.
