What are functional mushrooms?
Functional Mushrooms fit well in a category called adaptogens. Adaptogens are herbs and in this case, mushrooms that have been used in health and wellness over several millennia, particularly in parts of Asia and India by adapting to your body's specific needs. Some examples are, Lion's mane for the brain, turkey tail for the gut, cordyceps for respiratory, reishi for calm and shiitake for overall health. Made in the USA, these functional mushrooms supplements have ingredients that help with:
- Metabolic function
- Production of NAD+ (an anti-aging compound)
- Oxygen intake and utilization
- Workout recovery
- Appetite management
- Nervous system
- Plus many more!
I had a chance to learn more in this interview.

There are so many benefits to functional mushrooms. These often misunderstood fungi are made up of complex chemicals not found in other substances. Whether it’s lionsmane for cognitive function, Cordyceps for respiratory function, Reishi for central nervous system function, or Turkey tail for healthy gut function, mushrooms adapt in unique ways.
How are supplements made from mushrooms different from other supplements?
Mushrooms fall in a category called adaptogens. Meaning they tend to provide you what YOU need at the time. Ashwaghanda is probably the most common adaptogen. Buy mushrooms are unique in their complex chemistry. Whether it’s cordycepin in cordyceps, or herinacium in lionsmane, we are fast discovering these fungi have a lot of potential for health and wellness. Plus, mushrooms are the only good edible non-animal source of vitamin D!
What is some of the latest research about functional mushrooms?
Many research centers and universities are ramping up their mycology (study of mushrooms) departments. The university of Tokyo produces many papers on the benefits of functional mushrooms. The university of Washington has published papers on Turkey Tail mushrooms and breast cancer, while lionsmane is being researched for its potential to help with cognitive ailments. The amount of independent labs popping up over the last few years are many. UMBO is currently in the beginning stages of opening our lab!
