Mushroom Fruiting Bodies vs. Mycelium on Grain
mycelium
Mycelium is the larger organism that mushrooms grow from. Mushrooms are the fruit of mycelium, analogous to an apple on a tree.
Mycelium is a complex network-based organism that builds from microscopic tubular filaments called hyphae into a root-like structure branching in all directions.
mycelium on grain
Mycelium growing on grain (Oats). The mycelium fully colonizes the oats and begins growing mushroom from the top of the block.
While mycelium contains beneficial compounds, it cannot be separated from the grain it’s grown on. Even ‘fully digested’ grain dilutes the final product with starch. We do not use mycelium on grain, mycelial biomass, or any other fillers or unnatural additives to create the most potent & effective extracts.
mushroom fruitbody
Mushroom fruiting bodies (or fruitbody) are the actual mushroom - the fruit of mycelium. Mushrooms contain significantly higher concentrations of medicinal compounds than mycelium as well as unique compounds not present in mycelium.
For maximum potency and efficacy, we only use real mushrooms to pack our bottles with as many beneficial compounds as possible without grain filler taking up precious space.
Mushrooms promote overall health and wellbeing with a myriad of benefits & properties that stimulate your bodies own natural healing mechanisms.
Mushroom Benefits
Mushrooms reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, support the nervous system & cognitive function, support cardiovascular system & heart health lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, improve digestion & gut health, improve sleep, help relive chronic stress, significantly reduce the risk of cancer & heart disease, and the list goes on.
.
This extensive list of benefits stems from mushrooms' potent adaptogenic properties and their ability to stimulate your bodies own powerful healing mechanisms. Lion's Mane, for example, stimulates neurogenesis & neuroplasticity; your brains ability to regrow neurons.
Active Compounds in Mushrooms
Packed with antioxidants and adaptogens, mushrooms contain a host of interesting and unique therapeutic compounds.
Polysaccharides have been shown to support anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation processes.
The most biologically active polysaccharides found in mushrooms are beta-glucans. Beta-glucans bind to receptors on immune cells, activating them to attack foreign invaders in the body.
Mushrooms contain a host of important vitamin and minerals including a nutritionally significant content of vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, D, and E.
Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals that contribute to aging and disease.
Adaptogens help the body adapt to stressors and may have a positive impact on stress, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, adaptogens may indirectly support hormone balance by reducing stress and promoting overall health.
Bioavailable
Raw mushrooms are largely indigestible due to the cell walls composition of chitin. An extraction process breaks down these tough cell walls making the compounds within bio-available, or easy to absorb.
Mushrooms play a vital role in the Health of the Ecosystem
As primary decomposers, fungi exist as a keystone species at the pinnacle of the death rebirth cycle. Underpinning all life on Earth, fungi unlock nutrients from inorganic material and recycle dead organic material, paving the way for new life.
Fungi creates a web of interconnections that forms the essential basis for our ecosystem. As well said by Doug Bierend “while fundamental, fungi are not at the center of things; rather, they exemplify the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life.”

Our Mushrooms
Discover the powerful benefits of our premium mushroom extracts, carefully grown and crafted for optimal wellness.
Lion's Mane
A beautiful and toothy mushroom native to North America, Europe and Asia that grows on hardwoods and can be found on dead logs in late summer and fall. Lion's Mane is a natural nootropic powerhouse supporting cognition and nervous system health. It also helps with sleep & mood, reduces inflammation, and boosts the immune & digestive systems.
Reishi
A polypore fungus revered in Asia for thousands of years for its’ powerful immune boosting, calming, and energy boosting properties. With a hard texture and a bitter taste, Reishi is not very edible and is usually brewed into teas or extracted. Boasting names such as 'The King of Mushrooms', 'The Mushroom of Spiritual Potency', and 'The Mushroom of Immortality', Reishi is one of our personal favorites and definitely lives up to the hype.
Turkey Tail
Named for its uniquely colorful appearance, Turkey Tail is renowned for its immune boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Turkey Tail boasts unusually high beta-glucan concentrations, compounds that actively support the processes at the foundation of physical health.
