Key Ingredients

Mycelium – is the name of the early harvest or ‘baby’ Ganoderma lucidum. There are different components and benefits of the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom – the spores (seeds ready to pollinate), the Mycellium (early harvest, these threads have their own unique properties) and the lucidum or the cap part of the mushroom (the mature plant). Mycellium threads are the root-like body that produces mushrooms, resembling a network or web of activity.

Did you know?

The mycelium is the most important and permanent part of a fungus. The part of the mushroom that we see is only the “fruit” of the organism. The living body of the fungus is a mycelium made out of a web of tiny filaments called hyphae. The mycelium is usually hidden in the soil, in wood, or another food source. The mycelia network that emanates from a fungal spore can extend over and into the soil in search of nutrients. A mycelium can be tiny, or cover large spaces of land in search of nutrients to feed the flowering of the mushroom.
