US Grown
Sourced from organic mushroom farms in the Pacific Northwest. While other companies source their mushrooms overseas, our growers comply with the most strict standards to be USDA organic certified
-
Whole Fungi
We use fruiting body and mycelium in our final products in order to get all the beneficial compounds from both. Many companies only use fruiting bodies. We believe in the beneficial properties of both and provide lab tests to prove our quality is unmatched.

Harvested With Care
Our mushrooms are harvested after 3-6 months, depending on species, to guarantee that the mycelium has fully colonized.
Others turnover in a month or less. This leads to poor product quality. Mushrooms are often grown on rice/grain/oats. If you turnover too quickly, you’re likely getting a product that isn’t mushrooms at all, but rather the substrate they are grown on! Ew...and boo!
-
Fermentation
Our extraction process starts here. Our mushrooms are fermented to make the polysaccharides, terpenoids, and alkaloids more bioavailable. Most skip this step, because it takes more time and resources.

Hot Water Extraction
They are then put through a hot water extraction process, because polysaccharides (beta-glucans) are only soluble in water. This is necessary to break down the tough shell walls of mushrooms. Without this extraction, our bodies cannot absorb the beneficial, medicinal properties of mushrooms. Other companies just sell raw mushroom powder and use creative marketing techniques to mislead consumers. No extraction = no medicinal benefits!
-
Alcohol Extraction
Our mushrooms go through a 90-day alcohol extraction, because terpenoids are only alcohol soluble. This extraction process (hot water and alcohol) is crucial to make the best mushroom product available. Without it, the beneficial compounds would not be bioavailable.
