Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores

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.

Extraction/Production Process

We use a very unique and effective dual or triple extraction process that includes enzymatic extraction, hot water extraction and even solvent extraction for certain mushrooms and/or desired compounds. This ensures that all of the beneficial nutrients are extracted from the mushroom fruiting body. It also breaks down the chitin.

Chitin is like the tough armor that mushrooms wear, similar to how insects have their exoskeletons. This armor protects the mushroom's cells, but it's tough for our bodies to break down and use as food.

For us to get the nutrients from mushrooms, we need to break down this armor into smaller, digestible parts. Enzymes called chitinases do this job. They break down the chitin into smaller pieces that our bodies can absorb and use for energy.

So, without breaking down chitin, we can't get the nutrients from mushrooms.

Related Scientific Studies

Lion's Mane and nerve cells

Researchers looked at how certain substances from a medicinal mushroom called Hericium erinaceus could affect nerve cells. They found that these substances can help nerve cells grow and develop by promoting the production of a key protein called nerve growth factor (NGF). In their experiment, they combined extracts from the mushroom with NGF and tested how well they helped nerve cells grow long extensions called neurites. They found that the combination of mushroom extract and NGF worked best, increasing neurite growth by over 60%.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24266378/

Hericium Erinaceus - Lion's Mane - Hericenones

Researchers studied compounds from the Hericium erinaceus mushroom to see how they affect nerve cell growth. They found that these compounds, called hericenones, don't directly make nerve cells grow longer projections. However, when combined with a small amount of a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF), they help nerve cells grow similar to when they're exposed to higher levels of NGF alone.

One particular compound, hericenone E, was very good at increasing NGF production. They also discovered that nerve cell growth involves specific pathways within the cells. Think of them as cellular roadmaps that guide growth. These pathways are called the MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways. So, hericenone E helps nerve cells grow by teaming up with NGF and influencing these specific pathways.
