Medicinal Mushrooms Overview
Medicinal Mushrooms
Below you’ll find a comprehensive overview of the mushroom species we offer, including available dosage forms and whether each product is in stock or available upon request in organic (org.) and/or conventional (conv.) quality.
On each mushroom’s dedicated product page, you can explore detailed information about its cultivation method, nutritional values (for powders), and place orders for the raw materials that best suit your needs.
Our mushrooms are cultivated in the remote highlands of China, far from urban centers and industrial activity. They are grown by skilled farmers under natural conditions — and we exclusively use the fruiting body of the mushroom for all our products.
All extracts are standardized to 30% polysaccharide content.
All our products are crafted exclusively from 100% pure mushroom fruiting bodies
We offer customized raw materials tailored to your needs — available upon request.
Each batch comes with a comprehensive breakdown of its active ingredients, giving you full transparency into what you’re getting.
We provide fast, direct delivery from our warehouse in Slovenia.
You can begin with small batch orders starting at just 1 kg — and we’re happy to provide samples for testing.
All our production facilities meet GMP compliance and adhere to ISO standards, ensuring consistent quality and safety.
General product specifications
Cultivation
We grow our mushrooms in their natural habitat, the Chinese highlands, and rely on the expertise of local farmers. The organic production is done according to the actual valid EU regulations. You can find the individual growing materials on the individual mushroom pages.
Extracts
Extraction ratio (indicative): 10:1 – 13:1. We standardize the polysaccharide content of the extracts at 30%.
Food grade status
All our raw materials is suitable and safe for human consumption according to actual EU regulations (178/2002). Please note that Cordyceps and chaga can only be sold as dietary supplements and not as foods. EU’s Novel Food Regulation (2015/2283).
Packaging
Powders and extracts are available in 1 kg, 5 kg and 25 kg containers, capsules in 2000 pieces/bag. All orders of 1 or 5 kg are packed in PE bags in a bucket, 25 kg orders come in a paper drum. All packaging that comes in contact with the edible raw materials comply with actual EU regulations.
Shelf life and storage conditions
For extracts and powders: 4 years when properly stored: at room temperature or lower, in a tightly closed package that keeps the raw materials protected from light, humidity and insects. For capsules: 48 months after production date when properly stored: at a dry, cool place (room temperature or lower) and protected from sunlight.
Production methods
Extracts: Grinding mushroom fruiting bodies, metal detection, hot water extraction, centrifuging, spray-drying. Extraction ratio (indicative): 11:1 – 14:1. We standardize the polysaccharide content of the extracts at 30%. Powder: Grinding mushroom fruiting bodies, metal detection.
Extract vs. Powder: What’s the Difference?
The primary difference between mushroom extracts and powders lies in the concentration of active compounds—especially polysaccharides.
Our mushroom powders are produced by gently grinding the fruiting bodies, preserving important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, their polysaccharide content is relatively low, typically between 1% and 3%.
In contrast, our mushroom extracts are made using a hot water extraction method starting from coarsely ground powder. This process significantly increases the concentration of bioavailable polysaccharides and beta-glucans, though it reduces the levels of fiber and certain vitamins.
For dietary supplement applications, offering both forms—powder and extract—can provide customers with a more comprehensive range of benefits.
If you plan to use medicinal mushrooms in food or beverage formulations, other considerations such as solubility, taste, and processing compatibility may influence which format is more suitable.
How can you use functional mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms are very versatile and can be used in many different ways. This is also reflected in our customer base.
Our customers are manufacturers of dietary supplements, foods and beverages, cosmetics, pet food and sports supplements. All of them are using our products in different ways as a part of their product range.
We’ve collected some examples of how to use medicinal mushrooms, when it’s better to use extract or powder and when it’s better to use a specific mushroom.
Reliable, certified quality from farm to capsule
No doubt you want to offer your customers only the best and safest products. That is our goal as well.
We take great pride in the safety and purity of our products in order to provide our customers with only the best functional mushrooms.
Our mushrooms are carefully cultivated by experienced farmers in their original habitat in China, in clean nature, to ensure an optimal growth of vital ingredients.
You can be sure that you will not receive any blended products containing mycelium* or the growing material. We use only the fruiting body to provide you products with the highest potency.
Through extensive analyses, we are able to ensure not only the purity of our products, but also a standardized level of important ingredients such as polysaccharides. You will receive these analyses and other relevant certificates with each order.
*Except Cordyceps, which is grown differently.
