Functional Mushrooms in Greens Powders: Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake, and Shiitake

Mushroom blends often combine several species in one formula. Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake, and Shiitake each have different species names and ingredient forms, so the label matters more than the word mushroom alone.

Four different ingredients

Cordyceps is a fungal genus. Reishi usually refers to Ganoderma species. Maitake is Grifola frondosa. Shiitake is Lentinula edodes.

Powder vs extract

Whole mushroom powder and concentrated extract are different forms. A label should identify the form when the manufacturer provides it.

Blend transparency

A blend might list each mushroom separately or group them in one proprietary blend. Check the amount information and serving size.
