How to choose a medicinal mushroom supplement (fruiting body vs mycelium)

An independent, fully-disclosed buying guide to the decision that decides whether a reishi, lion's mane, or cordyceps supplement contains anything active: fruiting body vs mycelium-on-grain, and the 'polysaccharides' number that lets grain starch pose as immune-active beta-glucans. No paid placements, no ranked products we haven't tested.

What this guide answers
  • Is fruiting body or mycelium better in a mushroom supplement?
  • What's the difference between beta-glucans and polysaccharides on a mushroom label?
  • Are medicinal mushrooms proven to work?
  • Is "third-party tested" enough to trust a mushroom supplement?
