We’re all familiar with mushroom caps, stems, and gills that come to mind when we think of mushrooms These are known as fruiting bodies. Meanwhile, mycelium is comprised of hidden roots which spread out in all directions beneath the ground. Each possesses its own advantages; however, most premium extracts, like the types we offer, use only the former. Mycelium is a word that should not be feared — and our farmers ensure it. Our partner farmers are meticulous when growing mushrooms, allowing the mycelium to take its time in developing until it's entirely ready. With this longer growth cycle, we guarantee that the mycelium will completely take over nearly 95% of the substrate before harvest! This measured approach ensures quality and healthiness each step along the way. That's why our mushrooms are 100% pure, with no fillers. Our growth process produces a higher-grade extract that encompasses the helpful ingredients found in both the mushroom and its mycelium. When growers take shortcuts or speed up the process by only allotting weeks for growth, their product is filled mostly with grain biomass. It barely has any trace of real mycelium - which significantly decreases its quality! We guarantee that our mushrooms are grown the right way and extracted the right way — with third-party lab test results to prove it!
