The History Behind Functional Mushrooms
For centuries, healthy mushrooms have been used for their benefits. From the Egyptians to the Aztecs and all throughout the Eastern world, functional mushrooms have been used to improve and treat many health concerns.
One of the earliest documented discoveries of mushrooms used for wellness came to light in 1991 when a frozen, mummified man was found in the Italian Alps on a border between Austria and Italy. He was named Ötzi and was said to have lived around 3300 BCE. Ötzi was a traveler and was found to be carrying two types of functional mushrooms. One was amadou mushroom (Fomes fomentarius) and the other was birch polypore (Fomitopsis betulina). Amadou mushrooms (also called tinder fungus) were likely used to start fires, while birch polypore are healthy mushrooms known to support overall health and
wellbeing.
Ready To Try Functional Mushrooms?
Supplements made from functional mushrooms can provide many benefits, but there are a few things to consider before incorporating them into your routine:
If you are taking pharmaceutical medications, breastfeeding, or pregnant, you should consult a health care practitioner before making any changes to your wellness routine
Read everything on the label carefully. Labels of licensed mushroom products should include a LOT number, expiration date, barcode, company address, proper storage instructions, dosage, part of the mushroom used, quantity crude equivalent (for extracts), ingredients, and additives.
Remember that the expiry date applies to mushroom supplements that are stored properly, so keeping your extracts sealed in an airtight container, away from sunlight, and in a cool, dry place is very important.

3 Convenient Ways To Consume Functional Mushrooms
Add To Beverages
Functional mushrooms dried, ground, and put through an extraction process are highly potent and effective. To create our mushroom extracts, our cultivators begin by growing functional mushrooms on USDA Organic-certified farms. Sophisticated extraction methods are used to extract the beneficial compounds from inside the cell walls of the harvested and dried mushrooms. The extraction process produces a very fine extract powder with excellent solubility that can easily be stirred into any beverage of choice. Learn how to make mushroom coffee!
Take Capsules
Mushroom capsules offer the convenience of being able to consume them anywhere and any time. It’s important to check the ingredients on mushroom supplement capsules as many contain grain and other fillers. The capsules offered by Eversio Wellness include no grains. We use mushroom extracts made from whole fruiting body mushrooms for our capsules so that each serving delivers a beneficial dose of compounds. Shop Eversio's capsule collection!
Upgrade Recipes
There are many clever and
creative ways to consume healthy mushrooms with hundreds of recipes available

They add an umami flavor and can turn regular snacks and recipes into superfoods! Check out our collection of favourite recipes.
EVERSIO WELLNESS
The best time to take your functional mushrooms depends on the type of mushroom supplements you take and your lifestyle. Some prefer maintaining healthy energy levels, and some prefer supporting rest. Plus, others find it easier to take supplements at particular times of day!
For example, cordyceps supplements can support healthy energy levels and, therefore, some prefer to take earlier in the day. On the other hand, reishi can support restful sleep, calmness, and stress. It's a favourite before yoga or meditation practices.
