There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.

The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.

However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.

We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), a member of the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, is a small shrub native to India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Its name comes from Sanskrit, meaning "smell of the horse," a reference to both its unique scent and its traditional association with strength and vitality. Used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha is classified as a Rasayana — a rejuvenating herb believed to promote longevity, resilience, and youthfulness. Botanically, it produces small green flowers and orange-red fruit, but the root is the part most prized for its adaptogenic properties. Withania somnifera has gained global recognition for its ability to help the body adapt to physical and emotional stress, support cognitive function, and promote overall well-being
