Mushroom Wisdom

Mushroom Wisdom A Global Leader in Mushroom Dietary Supplements including; Maitake D-Fraction and SX-Fraction, Lion's For more than 30 years Mushroom Wisdom, Inc.

(MWI) has continuously developed and produced the finest research supported mushroom products. While mushrooms have been used traditionally for thousands of years, Mushroom Wisdom actually began in 1991, as Maitake Products, Inc., with the goal of bringing the health and immune supporting benefits of the, at the time, relatively unknown Maitake mushroom to the U.S. *

The original and only product

that was offered was Grifron® Maitake, a simple, straightforward whole Maitake mushroom powder that offered a full range of Maitake’s actions. As researchers further explored this promising mushroom they found it contained a potent, unique beta glucan that was orally effective for supporting healthy immune function.* This became known as D-fraction. Maitake D-Fraction® PRO 4X, the company’s flagship product, is now available in a quick and easy “spray” form. Maitake D-Fraction “EZ” Spray is convenient for “on-the-go” administration. Further research on the Maitake mushroom led to discoveries related to its promising actions for supporting healthy blood sugar and insulin functions.* As a result of these studies the SX-fraction was born. After 10 years of being a “one mushroom” company we introduced a line of single mushrooms, all “super” enhanced by high quality mushroom fruiting body and unique mushroom extracts. This “Super” mushroom line includes Agaricus, Chaga, Coriolus, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Meshima, Reishi, Shiitake and Tremella. MWI recently introduced Super Poria, based on their research of this mushroom and unique mushroom extract. By 2010 the company acknowledged its role as a leader in the mushroom category by changing its name to, Mushroom Wisdom Inc., to better reflect its diversity of products. By embracing the word “wisdom” as part of its new company name, MWI honors the thousands of years of traditional use of these mushrooms, while also emphasizing its industry leading commitment to furthering our knowledge and understanding with scientific research. As an industry and category leader, MWI is committed to offering the safest and most effective mushroom and mushroom extract supplements. MWI has developed proprietary extractions of several mushrooms to further enhance their beneficial actions. MWI has supported and continues to support investigations into the wondrous world of mushrooms at respected research institutions, such as Georgetown University, New York Medical College, and Shizuoka University in Japan as well as by renown researchers such as Harry Preuss, MD, Sensuke Konno, PhD, and Hirokazu Kawagishi, PhD. All MWI products are manufactured in a cGMP facility in the U.S with all mushroom materials verified for identity. Having celebrated their first 25 years in business last year, Mushroom Wisdom is looking forward to another 25 outstanding years offering you the finest mushroom supplements grounded in tradition, expanded by research.

For over a thousand years, this legend has carried Lingzhi's (Reishi's) reputation through Chinese culture: the mushroom worth crossing realms for.
In the Legend of the White Snake, Lady White is a serpent spirit who takes human form for love. When her husband falls gravely ill, no ordinary medicine will save him. She travels far beyond the mortal world, past guardian deities, to find the one remedy said to restore life itself: sacred Lingzhi, the mushroom of immortality.
It's a story about devotion, but it's also a clue. Long before modern research existed, people were already telling stories about this mushroom's power to renew and protect. That reverence is woven into the name itself: Ling means spirit or sacred, Zhi means mushroom or herb of longevity.
We've spent decades studying what ancient wisdom already sensed. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) remains one of the most respected mushrooms in Traditional Chinese Medicine, valued for supporting balance, resilience, and vitality.*
Some legends fade. This one just kept finding new reasons to be true.
Ganoderma lucidum
Love. Sacrifice. Renewal.

Before Reishi was ever studied in a lab, it was named by people watching the sky.
The traditional Chinese character for Lingzhi, 靈芝, tells you exactly what the ancients saw in this mushroom. Inside the character for "ling," meaning spirit, you find rain falling from heaven, three mouths raised in prayer, and a shaman joining heaven and earth. The second character, "zhi," simply means a special plant or herb.
Put together: the herb of spiritual potency.
Think about what that name reveals. Of all the ways to describe a mushroom, the people who knew Reishi best reached for the language of spirit. Not strength, not longevity alone, but something deeper. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reishi has long been treasured as a tonic for Shen, the spirit, supporting the calm, clear, settled quality of mind that the old texts considered the very heart of health.*
Two thousand years later, the name still asks us a good question: what are we really nourishing when we care for ourselves?

Nature has been solving health challenges for thousands of years. Long before supplements filled store shelves, healers across cultures turned to medicinal mushrooms for calm, clarity, energy, immunity, and circulatory support. Here are five of the most studied and respected allies in the kingdom fungi.*

Reishi – Calm
Reishi has a long history as a “spirit-calming” tonic, traditionally used to support relaxation and emotional balance. It is often chosen to help the body adapt to everyday stressors.*

Lion’s Mane – Focus
Lion’s Mane is valued for its potential to support mental clarity, concentration, and overall cognitive performance. Many people use it as part of a daily routine for brain-friendly nourishment.*

Cordyceps – Energy
Cordyceps is traditionally used to support healthy stamina, oxygen utilization, and resilience during physical and mental exertion. It is often included in formulas aimed at balanced, sustainable energy.*

Turkey Tail – Defense
Turkey Tail is rich in unique polysaccharides that have been studied for their role in immune modulation. It is commonly used to help support the body’s natural defense systems over time.*

Shiitake – Wholeness
Shiitake holds a central place in both culinary and medicinal traditions across Asia, valued not for a single action but for its broad contribution to overall vitality. It is often used as a daily nutritive tonic, supporting the body's systems working together in balance.*
