๐ Not All Mushroom Powders Are Made the Same ๐
We were recently asked about the difference between our mushroom powders and some of the larger commercial brands. It's a great questionโand one that many people don't realize has multiple answers.
Some mushroom powders use a "full spectrum" approach that includes the mushroom, mycelium, and biomass grown on a grain substrate such as oats. These products are typically harvested, dried, and milled into powder.
At Bennett Run Mushroom Farm, we take a different approach. Our functional mushroom powders are made from mushroom fruiting bodies and undergo a pressure-activation process before being ground into powder. This helps break down the mushroom's natural chitin structure and allows our powders to be easily incorporated into both hot and cold foods and beverages.
Neither approach is necessarily right or wrongโthey are simply different philosophies. We believe customers deserve to understand how their mushroom products are made so they can make informed choices.
The more you know about your mushrooms, the better choices you can make for your wellness journey. ๐
