Collection: Mushrooms

Mushrooms have been valued for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic practices for their long history of use in supporting overall wellbeing and vitality.

Often referred to as adaptogenic mushrooms, these fungi are commonly used to help support cognitive wellness, natural energy, and immune health as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Our main mushroom brand comes from Mushrooms for Life, founded in 2011 by naturopath and author Martin Powell. His goal was to make high-quality mushroom supplements more accessible while maintaining exceptional sourcing standards. Having spent many years working closely with experienced growers in China, Martin established strong relationships focused on quality and sustainability — values that continue to guide the brand today.

In 2017, Mushrooms For Life was passed on to practitioners and mushroom educators Graham Botfield and Ben Shouler, who continue to develop the brand and share their knowledge of functional mushrooms.
