Simply put, mushroom fruiting bodies are the above-ground parts you can see
(including the cap, stem and gills). They're what you think of when you think "mushroom." Mycelium are like the roots," hidden below ground and stretching far and wide. Both possess their own beneficial constituents, but most high-quality supplements use only fruiting bodies.* We use both. Here's why.

Mycelium isn't a dirty word - but it can be. Our trusted partner farmers take things slow when it comes to cultivating mushrooms. Each mycelium grows until it's ready, no matter how long that takes. A longer growth cycle allows the mycelium to take over the substrate almost entirely. Once we harvest, less than 5% of the growth material remains. That means all mushrooms, zero fillers! The final result is a better-quality extract that captures the beneficial compounds found in both the mushroom fruiting bodies and the mycelium. When growers cut corners, rush the process and give the mycelium only weeks, the final product contains much higher amounts of the substrate (they are filled with mostly grain-filled mycelial biomass)!

Our mushrooms are grown the right way and extracted the right way with the third-party lab test results to prove it! You can trust our full-spectrum, whole mushroom powders and extracts.
