Mushroom Coffee vs Mushroom Supplements

Choosing Druzy Fusion Over Mushroom Coffee Makes Sense

 

The Power of Fruiting Bodies Over Mycelium

When it comes to mushroom supplements, fruiting body extracts are the clinically validated choice for potency and bioactive compounds. Unfortunately, many mushroom coffee products on the market use mycelium, which is most often grown on grain, diluting the beneficial compounds like beta-glucans and triterpenes.

Why Mycelium Doesn’t Measure Up

While mycelium is part of the mushroom lifecycle, most supplements, including most mushroom coffees, use mycelium grown on grain, not pure mushroom fruiting bodies. This means you could be getting up to 70% starch filler from rice or oats, with only trace amounts of the active compounds mushrooms are known for, like beta-glucans and triterpenes. Unlike the mature fruiting body, mycelium contains fewer bioactive compounds and is rarely used in traditional herbal medicine.

When potency matters, fruiting body extracts are the clinically validated choice 

Choose properly extracted, full-spectrum mushroom supplements for high-potency extracts, not a coffee substitute full of fillers and mycelium.

Why not just add a high-quality liquid mushroom extract to your own coffee, tea or smoothie that actually tastes good?
