A Comprehensive Guide to Our Pure Mycelium™ Products

Mushroom mycelium is an often-overlooked natural powerhouse of health benefits. In nature, these root-like networks spread out beneath the soil and feed the fruiting bodies. In commercial growing, however, mycelium is usually simply cultivated on cheap grain substrates, in a practice called mycelium on grain (MOG)

At WholeSun Wellness, we refused to settle for ‘business as usual,’ and so have spent years to become the first mushroom brand to feature our liquid fermentation Pure Mycelium™ extract with each corresponding fruiting body extract.

Now you can harness the complete and unique properties of species like chaga, Lion’s Mane, cordyceps, and more like never before. Let’s take a look at just a few of the benefits that each species can provide for you.

Chaga Mushroom Mycelium

Antioxidant Powerhouse
With one of the natural kingdom’s highest antioxidant levels (up to 5x more concentrated than blueberries!), chaga mushroom mycelium may help your body to neutralize harmful free radicals and oxidative stress throughout your body.

Immune Support
Polysaccaride compounds and others found in chaga mycelium help to modulate your body’s immune system, so you can be more prepared to defend against infection and illness.

Anti-inflammatory Properties
Chaga mycelium contains a range compounds with anti-inflammatory support, including terpenes. These compounds help support your body’s inflammation response, and may help to soothe and support the symptoms of various inflammatory conditions.

Reishi Mushroom Mycelium

Adaptogenic Benefits
Reishi mushroom mycelium is considered to be an adaptogen. An adaptogen is a supplement that can not only help the body adapt to current stress, but also improve the body’s capability to handle and relieve stress over time, enhancing your well-being.

Immune Modulation
Compounds in reishi mycelium have been known to balance immune function. Reishi mycelium does this both by supporting a healthy immune response, while also helping to counter some of the effects of an overactive immune system, creating a greater sense of holistic balance.

Stress Reduction
As an adaptogen, reishi mycelium may help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. It can be a useful part of a relaxing daily routine, and can allow for mental clarity to develop as your stress fades.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Mycelium

Cognitive Enhancement
Studied for its nootropic and cognitive benefits, Lion’s Mane mycelium has been shown by multiple studies to support cognitive functions. Lion’s Mane can support improved memory and focus, making it a popular choice for a mental edge.

Nerve Regeneration
One unique benefit of Lion’s Mane is its ability to support and stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the brain. This compound seems to be responsible for supporting the growth, regeneration, and repair of nerves, keeping your brain health and active. It may even support the formation of new neural pathways, which can support creativity and counter some of the effects of an aging brain.

Neuroprotective Effects
Lion’s Mane mycelium can even help protect your brain against some effects of aging, and potentially reduce the risk or symptoms of some degenerative neurological diseases. It has become a popular option for treatment of diseases like Parkinson’s.

Shiitake Mushroom Mycelium

Immune Boosting
Packed with beta-glucans and an assortment of other immune-supporting compounds like B-vitamins and copper, shiitake mycelium can support the function of a healthy immune system. Rich in polysaccharides like lentinans, it can also support white blood cell levels to help you resist infection and illness.

Cardiovascular Health
Shiitake contains eritadenine, a compound shown to reduce cholesterol levels. The beta-glucans in shiitake may also help prevent the intestines from absorbing excess cholesterol, supporting cardiovascular wellness.

Antiviral and Antibacterial Properties
Compounds in shiitake mycelium show both antiviral and antibacterial properties, which may help fend off attacks your body may face.

Cordyceps Mushroom Mycelium

Energy and Endurance
Cordyceps mycelium provides energy and boosts stamina levels. This makes them a great option for athletes and those who love the outdoors, as well as anyone looking to enhance their physical energy throughout the day.

Respiratory Support
Cordyceps mycelium and fruiting bodies may support respiratory health, helping your body to use oxygen more efficiently.

Adaptogenic Effects
Another adaptogenic fungi, cordyceps helps the body to handle stress, and adapt over time. Providing the body with beneficial stress (it’s a thing!) pays dividends as you experience greater overall vitality and wellness.

Turkey Tail Mushroom Mycelium

Immune Modulation
Turkey Tail mycelium contains immune-supporting polysaccharides, along with other helpful compounds to enhance your body’s front-line defenses.

Cancer Support
Compounds found in Turkey Tail mycelium have been studied for their potential support to cancer patients during difficult treatments that can weaken natural immune response function.

Gut Health
If you’re concerned about your gut health and microbiome, Turkey Tail is worth a look. The prebiotic fiber and polysaccharides help to support a healthy balance of probiotics, and your overall gut function.

Maitake Mushroom Mycelium

Blood Sugar Regulation
Maitake may help to regulate blood sugar levels against excess glucose, making it a beneficial addition to the daily routine of insulin-resistant individuals, or those treating diabetes.

Immune Enhancement
Another potent ally to your immune system, compounds in maitake mycelium may stimulate healthy immune system function.

Anti-inflammatory Support
Maitake mycelium supports your body’s anti-inflammatory response, which may help reduce and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions.
