Potent medicinal mushrooms have been grown in China for hundreds of years, and to this day the most nutrient-rich mushrooms come from Chinese cultivars. For over 2,000 years, the traditions of Chinese medicine have been applied to the cultivation of these mushrooms for a host of medicinal uses. Mushroom cultivation in China has furthermore been so refined that farmed variants are in no way inferior to their wild-grown counterparts. Our polyporus mushrooms are sourced directly from the globally-recognised mushroom-growing region of Gutian County in Fujian. Our farming partner is organically certified according to EU standards and places a high value on natural, traditional cultivation methods. The mushrooms are selectively harvested by hand between July and October for maximum nutritional value.

The polyporus is a type of mushroom that forms a sclerotium, which is a hardened fungal mycelium that can survive cold and dry conditions. Because the sclerotium possesses the highest concentration of nutrients in the polyporus, we use this part of the fungus rather than the fruiting body for our polyporus powder.

In contrast to extracts, which can lose some of their nutritional value during processing, powders contain the full spectrum of nutrients and enzymes for a particularly strong adaptogenic effect. To ensure that these nutrients are optimally bioavailable, our powder is gently ground according to the "shell-broken" method to a size of less than 0.1mm. This milling process breaks open the difficult-to-digest cells of the mushroom and makes their contents directly bioavailable.

Polyporus

Polyporus umbellatus (Umbrella Polypore, Zhu Ling)

The umbrella polypore thrives in warm deciduous forests on the stumps and roots of oak and birch trees. This rare but esteemed edible mushroom forms dense bundles of dozens to hundreds of tall, narrow caps. These bundles can grow to sizes of up to 50cm across and weigh several kilos. The light brown and rounded appearance of these bundles at the foot of oak trees has earned the polypore the nickname "oak rabbit" (Eichhase) in German, because at first glance one might mistake it for a wild rabbit.

The individual caps grow from a shared stump that emerges from the mushroom's blackish-brown sclerotium, which is a type of hardened mycelium that grows underground or inside a tree trunk and which can survive harsh temperatures in winter. The polypore can allegedly live for up to 30 years. While the fruiting body is typically used in cooking, the sclerotium is more often used in medicine. The sclerotium contains the highest concentration of nutrients in the polypore, including minerals and vitamins as well as diverse polysaccharides and triterpenes.

Our polyporus powder is made from the sclerotium and therefore has a high concentration of unique compounds.

Cultivation & Processing

Our medicinal mushrooms are sourced from the renowned mushroom-growing region of Gutian County (600-700m above sea level), in Fujian, China. The cultivation of mushrooms is an age-old tradition in the region, as is reflected by the unparalleled quality of these mushrooms. The fertile land, sophisticated substrates, as well as the climate, all contribute to a uniquely nutritious end product. Moreover, these pristine lands are protected by dense mountain forests, thus providing an ideal environment for the mushrooms to thrive. Our untreated mushrooms are certified organically grown according to EU standards. They are grown to full maturity and hand-picked at the peak of their vitality, between July and October.

The mushrooms retain their raw quality as a result of gentle drying at temperatures below 40°C. This process preserves the delicate enzymes and potent vital substances of the mushrooms. To ensure that these valuable nutrients are bioavailable, the dried mushrooms are then gently milled. Thanks to our use of the "shell-broken" method, the powder attains a fineness of less than 0.125mm, which ensures that the compounds within the cells as well as within the chitin skeleton of the mushroom are optimally available for absorption. The powder contains the full richness of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements of the whole fruiting body of the mushroom.
