Full-Spectrum Mushroom Powders: A Holistic Approach
Our mushroom powders are created using a combination of myceliated grain and mushrooms, capturing the natural composition of these fungi. To produce these powders, a grain substrate (such as sorghum) is inoculated with fungal cultures. As the fungi colonize the grain, they produce enzymes and metabolites, transforming the substrate. This process incorporates both the grain and the mushroom, providing a natural, full-spectrum product.
Full-spectrum medicinal mushrooms provide a diverse range of bioactive compounds compared to extracts containing only the fruiting body. By incorporating fruiting body, mycelium, and extracellular compounds, full-spectrum extracts retain naturally occurring polysaccharides, beta-glucans, antioxidants, and other compounds that have been studied for their potential benefits.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) Benefits:
✅ Contains polysaccharides & beta-glucans, which have been researched for their role in immune modulation.
✅ Rich in triterpenes, traditionally used in herbal practices for their adaptogenic properties.
✅ Naturally high in antioxidants & secondary metabolites.

Red Reishi Mushrooms & General Wellness
Red Reishi mushrooms, known for their distinct reddish-brown varnished appearance and kidney-shaped cap, have been a part of traditional Chinese wellness practices for thousands of years. These mushrooms are commonly associated with overall vitality and wellness. They are valued for their rich nutrient profile and are believed to support general health, immune function, and overall well-being.
Taste and Flavour
Red Reishi mushrooms have a distinct, earthy flavour that is often described as woody and bitter. While they may not be suitable for culinary use due to their tough texture, they are available in various forms, including capsules, powders, and extracts. Red Reishi is often consumed with sweeteners such as honey or added to teas to balance the bitterness.
Red Reishi and Children
Red Reishi mushrooms have been traditionally used for overall wellness and immune support. While considered safe for many, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional, such as a paediatrician, before introducing any new supplement to a child's routine. A healthcare provider can offer personalized guidance based on the child's individual health needs.
