What Are You Foraging For?

Our Promise

Our functional mushroom extracts come from the most experienced producers. They are non-psychoactive, third-party tested, and rich in Beta-Glucans and beneficial compounds. Our products contain no grains, fillers, or unnecessary additives—just high-quality mushrooms crafted with care for you and the planet. Experience the natural difference.

Our Lion's Mane extract, a blend of Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science, contains hericenones and erinacines, compounds traditionally valued by Buddhist monks. Cordyceps provides cordycepin and adenosine, historically used by Tibetan herders. Reishi, known as the "mushroom of immortality," offers ganoderic acids and beta-glucans. Each extract is standardised and third-party tested for compound verification.

At Mycogenius, we focus on reintroducing ancient wisdom into your daily life. We prioritise natural ingredients and top-quality in every Mycogenius product. All our mushrooms are tested for quality markers in an ISO-accredited third-party lab.

UNCOVER YOUR GENIUS

Our powerful, high-quality, adaptogenic functional mushrooms will help you excel in your endeavours.

What should I look for in the quality of mushroom extract?
Premium mushroom extracts should clearly specify their quality markers, utilise either fruiting bodies or liquid-grown mycelium, and provide detailed information on the extraction process. Look for third-party testing that includes heavy metals analysis and compound verification. Avoid products with high starch content (indicating grain fillers) or those making unsubstantiated health claims.
What compounds are naturally found in Lion's Mane extract?
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) contains unique compounds called hericenones and erinacines, found in the fruiting body and mycelium, respectively. These naturally occurring triterpenes have been studied extensively in research settings. The 1:1 extraction process preserves these compounds alongside beta-glucans, providing you with the full spectrum that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have valued for centuries. Testing for hericenones and erinacines is not yet standardised, so currently the quality markers best tested for are beta-glucans and polyphenols.
How much cordycepin should quality Cordyceps militaris contain?
Premium Cordyceps extracts typically contain 1-2% cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), significantly higher than wild Cordyceps sinensis. Our testing verifies cordycepin and adenosine content in each batch, as these compounds are traditionally associated with the energy-supporting properties that made Cordyceps famous among Tibetan yak herders and athletes. Be cautious of products that don't specify their quality markers—it often indicates lower-quality sources.
What's the difference between mushroom powder and mushroom extract?
Mushroom powder is dried and ground from fruiting bodies or mixed with mycelium grown on grain, while extracts concentrate bioactive compounds through water or alcohol extraction. Extracts typically offer a much higher concentration of beneficial compounds. For functional benefits, extracts are preferred because they focus on the compounds that researchers study, while powders retain fibre but lower compound density per serving.
Why don't you do mushroom coffee?
As much as we like coffee, the issue is its pre-ground, which means it's most likely rancid due to oxidation. Reishi extracts would make coffee extremely bitter and hard to drink. There's also the Cordyceps and coffee combo. Some studies suggest that they might actually counteract each other, which is why we recommend avoiding Cordyceps when taken with coffee altogether or consuming at least an hour or two before or after. Saying this, we do suggest adding Lion's Mane to freshly ground coffee; it can work well.
When is the best time to take functional mushroom extracts?
Timing depends on your goals and the specific mushroom. Lion's Mane works well in morning routines for daytime focus, while Reishi traditionally supports evening relaxation. Cordyceps users often prefer morning intake to support their active day. Maintain consistency—functional mushrooms work best when used regularly over time, rather than sporadically.
What's the proper dosage for functional mushrooms?
Effective dosages vary depending on the mushroom and the extraction strength. For our standardised extracts, we recommend 600-1000mg daily as a starting point. Lion's Mane research typically uses 1,000 mg daily. Start with lower amounts and adjust based on your response. Professional athletes sometimes use higher amounts—consult your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
Can I take multiple functional mushrooms at the same time?
Yes, many users combine mushrooms for comprehensive support. Popular combinations include Lion's Mane with Cordyceps for morning focus and energy, or Reishi with other adaptogens for evening routines. Our products are designed to work synergistically. However, start with one mushroom type to understand your individual response before combining multiple varieties.
Are functional mushrooms safe for daily use?
Functional mushrooms have been consumed safely for thousands of years in traditional medicine. Modern research confirms their general safety profile when sourced from reputable suppliers. However, mushrooms can interact with certain medications—particularly blood thinners and immunosuppressants—due to their natural bioactive compounds. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you take medications or have health conditions.
Do mushroom extracts have any side effects?
Most people experience no side effects from quality mushroom extracts. Rarely, some individuals may experience mild digestive adjustment when first introducing mushrooms, or skin sensitivity in those with mushroom allergies. Because mushrooms naturally support immune function, those with autoimmune conditions should consult healthcare providers. Starting with smaller amounts allows your system to adjust gradually.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use functional mushrooms?
While functional mushrooms have long been used traditionally, there's limited research on their use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use during these periods. Many practitioners suggest focusing on whole food sources of mushrooms during pregnancy rather than concentrated extracts.
How do you ensure consistent potency between batches?
Each batch undergoes standardised extraction protocols followed by analytical testing to verify compound levels. We maintain detailed batch records and adjust extraction parameters when needed to achieve consistent potency. Our quality control process encompasses both in-house testing and independent third-party laboratory verification, ensuring that every product meets our high standards before it reaches our customers.
Why don't you list specific hericenones and erinacines percentages?
Currently, there are no validated reference standards for accurately measuring these specific compounds, making precise quantification unreliable. Reputable testing laboratories acknowledge this limitation. Instead, we focus on verifiable metrics, such as beta-glucan and polyphenol content and overall extract quality. Companies claiming exact hericenones/erinacines percentages often rely on unvalidated testing methods that can't be independently verified.
What's your commitment to sustainable mushroom sourcing?
We partner with certified organic farms that use sustainable cultivation practices, including renewable energy and waste recycling systems. Our mushrooms grow on natural substrates rather than synthetic materials that are resource-intensive. Transparency in our supply chain reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility.
