Speaking at the World Mushroom Forum, August 21-23.

Three day, first ever forum, ill be on a panel focused on evidence, bioactives and human health. We will be discussing, what species-specific quality testing actually looks like, why beta-glucans alone don't tell the full story, and what I've learned about the gap between labels and reality through running both a consumer brand and a B2B supply operation.

I have 3 tickets to give away. DM me if you want one.

We commissioned an independent scientist to test 30 lion's mane supplements sold across Europe and the UK.

The results were just published in Vitafoods Insights, one of the largest trade publications in the nutraceutical industry.

Here's what the lab found.

Beta-glucan content ranged from below 5% to 82%. Some products contained almost no detectable bioactive compounds at all. Hericenones, the compounds most associated with lion's mane's reputation, were undetectable in every single sample.

The testing was carried out by Emma Murphy at the Technological University of the Shannon, with funding from Enterprise Ireland. Not our lab. Not our results to spin. Independent testing.

We share this because you deserve to know what's actually in the products you're buying. Not to scare anyone, but because transparency is the only thing that will really move this industry forward.

Where does your Cordyceps come from? Ours is a CS-4 extract, grown through liquid fermentation and sourced from Asia. Water-extracted. Alcohol-purified. Over 34% beta-glucans, 1.5% cordycepin, and 0.52% adenosine, all verified by HPLC and Megazyme testing. Same Cordyceps that won Best Cordyceps at the 2025 Cordy Cup. Full COA on every batch.

The first randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on Maitake and cognitive function just published. Not a cell study. Not animal data. A human RCT.

We broke down what it found, what it means, and what it doesn't.

Lion's Mane has been used in traditional East Asian medicine for centuries. Not for the brain. For the gut.

It contains high levels of ergothioneine - a compound researchers have started calling a "longevity vitamin." It's also a natural prebiotic, and traditional practitioners valued it for digestiveuse long before modern science caught up.

What's interesting now is the research connecting gut health to brain function. The gut-brainaxis is one of the most active areas of study in neuroscience. Lion's Mane sits right at thatintersection.

Then there are the hericenones - diterpenes naturally occurring in the fruiting body, and thefocus of ongoing NGF and BDNF research.
Centuries of traditional use. And science is still catching up.

Every batch is third-party tested. Full COAs on our site.
Organic fruiting body extract. No fillers. No grain.

Recording with and we got into something that doesn't get talked about enough.

In the EU and UK, Novel Food regulations ban the sale of certain mushroom products that haven't been authorised. Turkey Tail, Cordyceps militaris, liquid-fermented mycelium, all off limits.

These aren't fringe ingredients. Turkey Tail is one of the most studied functional mushrooms in the world. Cordyceps militaris is what most US brands sell. And liquid fermentation is one of the cleanest ways to produce mycelium without grain contamination.

Whether you agree with the regulations or not, they shape what's available to you as a consumer in Europe. Most people buying mushroom supplements have no idea that some of the products they see online aren't actually legal to sell here.

This is why we only work with species and formats that are fully authorised for the EU and UK market. Our Cordyceps is CS-4, Cordyceps sinensis, not militaris. Fully compliant, fully tested.

It's a complicated space. We talked about it for a while on the podcast. Now on Spotify

My favourite evening ritual.

One scoop of Reishi powder, milk/of preference, a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom ginger and honey.

Our Reishi is grown for over 9 months on hardwood logs, then dual extracted to pull the full range of triterpenes and polysaccharides. When you stir it into a chai latte, it disappears completely. No gritty texture. Just warmth.

Most Reishi powders on the market are ground on sawdust for 3 months. Ours is 100% fruiting body, third party tested at an ISO 17025 accredited lab. Standardized at 1.5% ganoderic acids verified.

We got featured in NutraIngredients.

The topic: why "third-party tested" doesn't always mean what you think it means.

Some of the key points from the interview:
We tested 30 lion's mane extracts. Beta-glucan content ranged from below 5% to 82%.

The neuroactive compounds most specific to lion's mane (hericenones C and D) were not detected in any meaningful concentration across any of the 30 samples.

Extraction ratios like 10:1 or 15:1 are unverifiable. There is no assay for them.

A supplier COA is not independent testing. That's the person selling you the ingredient, markingtheir own homework.

Every Mycogenius product comes with a batch-specific COA, accessible via QR code on thePackaging. Testing is done by ISO 17025-accredited labs on the finished product, not the raw
material.
