Dried Mushrooms versus Mushroom Extracts, which is better? 🍄

Most functional mushroom brands only use dried mushrooms in their formulas. But this is not beneficial and cost-effective!

Mushroom blends should ALWAYS be made with mushroom extracts. This is the most concentrated form of the fruiting bodies and mycelium which means you get a stronger and more valuable formula.

WholeSun Wellness is one of the ONLY brands to use hot water & dual extraction to break down the fungal walls, release the beneficial compounds in each mushroom, and make it easier and more potent for consumption.

So to us the answer is obvious, choose mushroom extracts every time you take your daily mushroom supplements!

Meet PuffBall! 🐢🍄

He’s been enjoying WholeSun mushrooms as part of his daily routine for years and is one of our favorite members of the fungi family.

While not all mushrooms are appropriate for animals and quality always matters, PuffBall is a great reminder that many animals can benefit from thoughtfully sourced, properly tested mushrooms.

We’ve heard countless stories from customers who share our mushrooms with their dogs, cats, horses, and other companions. PuffBall just happens to be our in-house mushroom enthusiast.

Can children take functional mushrooms? 🍄

The short answer is, yes! Cognitive mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are great for children to relax and focus at home and school.

We do suggest starting with a low dose of our mushroom extract (like a quarter teaspoon in juice) to see how your child responds. Our stronger formulas like Deep Brain might be too intense for children new to functional mushrooms.

Our extract powders are a great way to give your child more nutrition without compromising on taste. Simply stir in juice or smoothies and it’s barely noticeable.

Did you know chaga mushrooms can only be sourced in the wild? The black mass called a “conk” is harvested from birch trees and composed of antioxidant-rich mycelium along with compounds from the birch.

Lab grown chaga won’t have the same health value because birch tree compounds won’t be included in the nutrition profile.

At WholeSun Wellness, all of our chaga is 100% organically sourced from native hardwoods. We use sustainable methods that don’t harm the tree and allow parts of the chaga to remain growing. This means the natural cycle continues and your health & wellbeing benefits in the process!
