Buy Medicinal Mushrooms – Extracts from Reishi, Cordyceps & Lion's Mane

Medicinal mushrooms are edible and functional mushrooms traditionally used as dietary supplements. Botanically, they are higher fungi (basidiomycetes) whose fruiting bodies and mycelium contain characteristic compounds such as polysaccharides and beta-glucans. In this category you will find medicinal mushroom extracts and combinations from Scheunengut – standardized to defined contents, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

The best-known representatives are the lacquered bracket fungus (Reishi), the Chinese caterpillar fungus (Cordyceps) and the bearded tooth fungus (Lion's Mane). For extracts, fruiting bodies or mycelium are dried and gently broken down using water or alcohol to concentrate the compounds naturally found in the mushrooms.

Standardization & Form

What matters is the standardized content – high-quality extracts declare a defined proportion of polysaccharides (roughly 20 to 40%) and sometimes beta-glucans. The extract ratio is also stated, for example 20:1. Medicinal mushrooms are available as capsules or powder, either on their own or as a combination of several mushroom species.

What to look for when buying

Standardized, transparently declared content of polysaccharides or beta-glucans

How are medicinal mushroom extracts made?

To make extracts, fruiting bodies or mycelium are dried and gently broken down using water or alcohol to concentrate the mushroom's own compounds. The standardized beta-glucan content is what matters most. Our medicinal mushroom extracts are set to defined contents, vegan, and lab-tested, so you get consistent quality.

What should I look for when buying medicinal mushrooms?

Check whether an extract is derived from the fruiting body or the mycelium, and what beta-glucan content is declared, since only standardized products deliver a reliable amount of the key active compounds. A pure extract free of unnecessary fillers and transparent lab testing are good signs of high-quality medicinal mushrooms.
