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.

Often called the “King of Mushrooms” even though it’s technically a mycelium, not a mushroom, Chaga grows slowly on birch trees in harsh climates, developing its character over years, not weeks.

Only around 10% of a Chaga conk is actual fungal tissue. That’s why careful purification is essential: to remove inert material and a dual extraction to concentrate the main quality marker Betulinic acid, leaving behind the essence of wild Chaga as it’s been used for generations.

Quiet. Resilient. And traditionally relied on.

Your supplement label is telling you something. Most people just don't know how to read it.

Ratio 15:1. Beta-glucans 50%. Polysaccharides 40%. These numbers look impressive on a label, but what do they actually mean, and who verified them?

When Purity-IQ Labs in Vancouver ran NMR metabolomic analysis on market samples, they found products with 80% or more filler that had passed standard beta-glucan tests. The filler? Polydextrose, a cheap synthetic fibre that standard testing methods can't distinguish from real mushroom compounds.

That means a label could say "50% beta-glucans" and technically be correct, while the product is mostly filler.

So what can you actually look for? Swipe through for the full breakdown, including a checklist you can screenshot and take with you next time you're comparing labels.

Your mushroom supplement passed its lab test.

That doesn't mean it's real.

Standard beta-glucan testing can't tell the difference between genuine mushroom compounds and cheap synthetic fillers like polydextrose - a fibre that costs pennies per kilo and inflates test results.

Recent NMR analysis of market samples found products claiming 10-20% filler actually contained over 80%.

Swipe to see how it works, and what to look for before you buy.
