Our Mushrooms

Functional mushrooms are a small group of fungi that offer health benefits beyond the provisions of general nutrition. From the birch trees of North America to the rainforests of China, these mushrooms are found growing in different climates across the globe. Packed with a wide range of health-boosting properties, these exceptional organisms can help you reach your full potential.

Chaga

Chaga can help you achieve full-body wellness. Packed with nutrients, it is known to support immunity, digestive health, cholesterol and inflammation through its highly potent levels of beta-glucans, polysaccharides and melanins. A true immune booster. 

Environment

Chaga is primarily found on birch trees in the colder climates of Canada, Russia, Siberia and Northern Europe. Characterised by the contrast of dark, bark-like exterior to vibrant orange interior, this ‘king’ of medicinal mushrooms is packed with beta-glucans, triterpenoids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Reishi

Find your calm. Reishi’s adaptogenic properties can help to increase REM sleep quality, regulate cortisol levels (stress hormone) and support the immune system through the introduction of polysaccharides.

Environment

Reishi is a type of ‘white rot’ fungi that is found on the base of living trees or tree stumps. They can grow in both tropical or temperate climates and are most common in regions of South America and Eastern Asia where it is utilised for its calm-inducing properties.

Tremella

The beauty mushroom. A rich source of antioxidants, Tremella can inhibit the production of free radicals. This can enhance skin elasticity, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, lower redness, swelling and reduce inflammation.

Environment

Tremella is most commonly found in the tropical regions of Asia and Oceania. Instantly recognisable by their bright white jelly-like exteriors, they grow most commonly on dead or dying logs and have been used for their beauty-boosting properties in areas of Asia for centuries.

Lion’s mane

Lion’s Mane is known for its potential to unlock mental clarity, increase short-term memory and improve focus. Lion's Mane contains hericenones and erinacines, both compounds that have been found to support cognitive function through stimulating nerve cell reproduction.

Environment

Lions mane has a natural habitat of hardwoods - typically walnut, beech, maple and birch. Often found growing on dead logs in late summer or fall in North America or Canada, this mushroom was traditionally reserved for the aristocracy due to its profound and unique cognitive benefits.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps has been known for its ability to increase energy and lengthen cardiovascular endurance. Corydceps can increase the body’s production of ATP, the main source of energy for cellular;ar processes. This can support respiratory function, metabolism and endurance.

Environment

The traditional Cordyceps Sinensis can be found all over the world, due to their unique ability to takeover and sprout through the bodies of caterpillars. Our species, the Cordyceps Militaris, shares all of the same unique health-boosting properties, and is cultivated organically on rice or soy.
