Lion's Mane Mushroom
Â
Lion’s mane (Hericium spp) is a mushroom that looks like the mane of a lion due to its many small spines that gradually elongate and grow side by side, taking the shape of a very well combed lion’s mane. This fantastic mushroom has been used by centuries by traditional herbalists and is attracting significant interest as it synthesizes hericenones and erinacines, beyond all the standard set of polysaccharides and terpenes that other mushrooms produce. Our lion's mane mushroom is organically grown in Victoria using the native strain Hericium coralloides (powders) and Hericium erinaceus (liquids), allowing us to make unique 100% Australia made products with it, quite a rare thing in the real mushroom supplement market. We currently produce the following Lion's Mane based functional foods:
- Australian Lion's Mane - One of the very few in the market 100% made in Australia with 100% lion's mane mushroom fruiting body - no added starches (by themselves or with mycelium) or anything that is not the mushroom. Independent Lab analysis has shown our lion's mane powder yields approx. an incredible 30g of beta glucans per 100g of product. Available in 25g/ 50g/100g jars, jars/pouches and capsules
- Australian Lion's Mane mycelium - this is what is usually sold as "lion's mane powder", "whole lion's mane mushroom", "lion's mane including the mycelium" in the market - It does not contain fully developed mushrooms. It is made by brown rice colonised by Lion's Mane culture and Lion's Mane primordia (initial stages of a mushroom) and, as such, contains mostly rice with some mushroom mycelium in it. It is like a Lion's Mane tempeh using brown rice. This product contains starches from the brown rice as we cannot separate the fungus from the rice it grew on. Note we sell the myceliated rice separated from the fruiting body (the real mushroom) to give our customers full transparency of what they are getting. Read more about it in our blog "Real mushroom x mycelium". Available in 50g/100g pouches.
- Australian Lion's Mane dual liquid extract - using our very own Australian Lion's Mane powder, we bring you a convenient way of adding lion's mane to your daily routine. This is a dual extract, meaning it is made with ethanol and water extracts. Ethanol pulls the most of the terpene / phenolic compounds out of the mushroom, along with its hericenones and erinacines. The water focus on the polysaccharides. Available in 50ml and 100 ml bottles.
- Australian Lion's Mane fruiting body & mycelium extract - We wanted to find a way to harness only the mushroom and mycelium's goodness keeping all the grain starches away. This is our best shot - as we are after only the hericenones/erinacines in the mycelium and they are ethanol soluble, we decided to mix ONLY mycelium ethanol extract to our mushroom dual extract. Available in 50ml and 100 ml bottles.
