Mycelia cultivates a single mother network of Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi across a controlled substrate, then extracts what the fungus already knows about repair, endurance and focus.
One organism. Three fruiting expressions.
Every batch begins in the same tank: hardwood sawdust, oat bran, and a mother culture we have maintained, unbroken, since 2019. What changes downstream is the substrate blend and the climate we force each strain through — that's the entire difference between a Lion's Mane fruit and a Cordyceps fruit. Same network. Different pressure.
We don't isolate a single compound and synthesize it in a lab. We let the mycelium build its own chemistry in response to real stress, then extract the whole spectrum — beta-glucans, triterpenes, and the hundred minor metabolites nobody's bothered to patent yet.
Three fruits of the same network.
Hover a node — the signal travels the network the way nutrient actually moves through hyphae, node to node, along the branch that connects them.
Lion's Mane
Hericium erinaceusFocus and nerve growth factor support. Taken in the morning, tastes faintly of crab and cedar.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps militarisCellular energy and endurance. The connective tissue of the stack — most people take all three together.
Reishi
Ganoderma lucidumEvening recovery and stress resilience. Bitter, dark, and the strain our mother culture is oldest for.
What we're actually measuring.
Beta-glucan yield by fruiting stress
Tracking immunomodulatory polysaccharide concentration against three humidity-stress protocols across 40 fruiting cycles.
Cordycepin stability post-extraction
Dual-extraction (water + ethanol) shelf-stability of the cordycepin fraction at 6, 12, and 18 months.
Substrate-to-fruit metabolite transfer
Mapping which minor triterpenes actually survive from hardwood substrate into the harvested fruiting body.
Cross-strain network memory
Open question: does a mother culture "remember" prior stress across fruiting generations. Ongoing, unpublished.
