Functional mushrooms are mushrooms that are consumed as food, a beverage or in supplement form, for their potential health benefits beyond nutrition.* Learn more about some of our favorite mushrooms and their potential benefits on our blog.*

NOTE: This does not include mushrooms that contain psilocybin or those with psychedelic attributes.

Humans have consumed mushrooms to support their health and well-being for thousands of years.* Today, modern science can validate those deep-rooted traditional uses. Mushrooms can support overall well-being, a healthy response to everyday stress, the immune system and response, healthy cognition and brain health, cardiovascular health and more.* They can promote healthy rest, energy and stamina.* And they can offer antioxidant support, too.* Please refer to individual species for specific examples.

A mushroom fruiting body is the part that grows above ground. It’s the part we can see, which produces spores (think of those as mushroom “seeds”).

Mycelium (singular) and mycelia (plural) are like the “roots” of a mushroom. (“Mycelial” is the adjective form.) They collect and utilize nutrients, and they help mushrooms communicate with one another. You can think of this vast, unseen network as the “fungi internet” that runs underfoot. Research has confirmed what we’ve long believed, that the mycelial network is intelligent – with an ecological memory that helps it determine where, when and how to grow.

While we use mostly fruiting bodies, mycelium also offers benefits.* In our Fantastic Fungi Mushroom Drops, we include mycelium for a full-spectrum product with added benefits.* Other products use mycelium that’s grown quickly (yielding a product that’s mostly substrate). Ours grow for months to allow the mycelium to consume the growth material. We then triple-extract both fruiting bodies and the mycelium for potency and bioavailability.
