There are two types of functional mushroom based supplements available to consumers seeking mushrooms for wellness - powdered mushrooms and extracts. It’s important to know there’s a big difference between the two and how each can offer the health benefits of mushrooms.
Usually composed of a combination of fruiting bodies and mycelium entangled with growing substrate (various types of grain). It’s impossible to separate mycelium from the grain it’s grown on, so grain is always included in lab grown mycelium based mushroom powder products. All of the constituents of the functional mushrooms and grains, including the fiber, remain intact during the drying and grinding (or micronization) processes of powders. The grain is unfortunately included in the final powdered product and impurities can also remain. Powders may be beneficial, but they offer very small quantities of these compounds. Therefore, large servings are required to experience benefits over a prolonged period of time. This can become very expensive.
Are concentrated sources of mushroom compounds. They are made from dried mushroom fruiting bodies where the most important functional mushroom compounds are found in the highest concentrations. The mushroom fiber is removed during extraction, leaving behind concentrated mushroom compounds. The extraction process uses hot water or alcohol or both to isolate and make bioavailable the compounds that were locked inside the chitin wall of the dried mushroom. There is no grain or other growing substrate included in an extract, and all impurities are removed in the extraction process. A very small amount of extract consumed daily over a prolonged period of time is needed to experience benefits.

Why Include Functional Mushrooms in Your Wellness Routine?
Functional mushrooms are having a moment because they offer two things we all need most right now: MAINTENANCE OF A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM + SUPPORT FOR OCCASIONAL STRESS. Humanity has never been more stressed, and we have never been as interested in immune system health as we are today. Functional mushrooms can offer so much more!
Support Healthy Immune System Function
Functional mushrooms such as Reishi and Turkey Tail can support a healthy immune system. High-quality Reishi products should list triterpenes on the label and Turkey Tail should list levels of PSP (Polysaccharide Peptide) or PSK (Polysaccharide Krestin) if you want to be sure they are in line with current research demonstrating efficacy for immune system support.
Maintain Healthy Energy for Body and Mind
Mushroom supplements containing functional mushrooms cordyceps and lion's mane can support healthy energy levels. Cordyceps are popular with athletes who started paying attention to this functional mushroom in 1993 when the women’s track and field team from China broke multiple records and attributed their success to the use of cordyceps supplements. Lion's Mane mushroom supplements are a favorite of biohackers because they can maintain healthy cognition without the crash of caffeine. Combining both in a mushroom supplement regimen can help your body and mind achieve your office and gym goals!
Support Healthy Aging
Functional mushrooms like chaga can support healthy aging and overall wellbeing. Chaga has an incredibly high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value - one of the highest in the world. The aging process can speed up when we expose ourselves to “oxidants” - reactive molecules produced in our bodies (often related to a poor diet) and in the environment that can cause unoptimal health. Chaga's antioxidant properties may support overall health and wellness as we age.
