Frequently asked questions
Are mushrooms safe to use?
When used as directed, our mushroom products are generally well-tolerated and support the normal function of the body. However, individual responses may vary. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have health conditions. We do not provide medical advice.
What research has been done into mushrooms?
Thousands of scientific papers have been published on species such as Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Turkey Tail.
We encourage everyone to do their own research and explore the available evidence. A good place to start is by searching Google Scholar, PubMed, or the websites of universities and research institutions.
Reading both positive and critical viewpoints will help you build a balanced understanding.
What we can say with confidence is that mushrooms have been used as a traditional wellness tool for thousands of years. Countries such as China, Japan, Korea, and Russia have long histories of using medicinal mushrooms, and some mushroom-derived compounds are even used alongside conventional cancer treatments in China and Japan.
At the same time, it's important to recognise that scientific research is ongoing. Some mushrooms have been studied extensively, while others require much more human research before firm conclusions can be made.
Our approach is simple: stay curious, ask questions, read widely, and make informed decisions based on the evidence that matters most to you.
Also, we encourage you to trust your body when making a decision. If you are being drawn to a particular mushroom, format or brand, or perhaps you are not ready yet... just trust yourself.
You'll only know what mushrooms can do for you when you actually try them.

Do you sell magic mushrooms?
No. Our mushrooms are not magic mushrooms and do not contain psilocybin or any other psychedelic compounds.
We specialise in medicinal and functional mushrooms which have been traditionally used to support wellbeing, focus, immunity, and overall health.
These mushrooms are legal, non-psychoactive, and will not produce hallucinations or altered states of consciousness.
Can mushrooms be used long-term?
Many individuals incorporate these mushrooms daily as part of a holistic wellness practice, rooted in tradition and intention.
As with any supplement, listen to your body and consider periodic pauses.
Consult a healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
Can I take mushrooms with other medications or supplements?
While functional mushrooms are commonly incorporated effectively into wellness routines, potential interactions with medications (e.g. blood thinners or immunosuppressants) are not fully studied.
Consult your healthcare provider before combining with prescriptions or other supplements.
You can also use platforms like Google Scholar to see what research has been carried out in relation to your query.
How do I know which mushroom to choose?
Different mushrooms have distinct cultural histories:
- Lion's Mane: Associated in Asian tradition with mental clarity
- Reishi: Historically named & quoted "Mushroom of Immortality" in Chinese imperial texts
- Cordyceps: Linked to vitality in Himalayan mountain traditions
- Turkey Tail: Patterned mushrooms native to the UK, celebrated in Japanese and Native American traditions
You can select based on your interest in these cultural narratives, along with your own research. You can also email us directly to ask us what we would recommend, or meet us at a market or event.
