The Future Is Fungi
Our Functional Mushroom Products contain thousands of milligrams of mushroom extract — the highest dosage on the market and one of the best nootropics.
Our products use specially-formulated extract blends that we pick and choose from our 10 favorite mushroom species. We can talk about their awesome benefits all day long, but we made this short-and-sweet version just for you.
1. Chaga
This Siberian native has the highest antioxidant content in the entire plant world.
These mighty molecules are a must for staving off damage from free radicals, which create changes on the cellular level. Considering that free radicals are everywhere — the sun’s UV rays, air pollution, your phone screen — we’re super glad to have Chaga in our corner.
2. Reishi
Part of a special group of plants known as adaptogens, this “Queen of Mushrooms” can quite literally adapt itself to your body and make changes where needed. Nowhere is it more effective than in balancing the effects of stress.
Reishi is there to bring you peace if you're feeling a little on-edge.
3. Lion’s Mane
Brain fog can get in the way of having a productive day. You can kick it to the curb with Lion’s Mane Mushroom, one of the most powerful nootropic supplements known for supporting focus, memory, and brain power.
4. Cordyceps
This mighty mushroom is a favorite for gym buffs. It can increase oxygen uptake and aerobic capacity, making your workouts feel effortless. But just because you’re not working out doesn’t mean Cordyceps can’t be of any help. Proper oxygen means proper energy and proper brain health — something we could use anywhere, anytime.
5. Shiitake
This yummy mushroom is chock-full of polysaccharides, a carb that acts as food for gut bacteria. Nourishing your microbiome can do all kinds of awesome things for your health, like supporting your immunity, mood, and skin.
6. Maitake
Thanks to its high vitamin D content, Maitake can provide support for a healthy immune system.
7. Turkey Tail
This mushroom has been shown to support stable blood sugar levels. This can mean reduced cravings and less drastic appetite changes — the perfect way to support your fitness goals.
8. White Button
High in the antioxidant vitamin C, White Button is an excellent way to protect our skin from the sun’s UV rays. Plus, it can support healthy immune defenses during cold and flu season.
9. Black Fungus
This dark-colored mushroom is full of polyphenols — nutritious compounds that give plants their claim to fame. Polyphenols have many benefits for the body, including high antioxidant activity for free radical protection.
10. Royal Sun
This mushroom has powerful immune-boosting properties, which gives your defenses an extra boost to fend off invading pathogens.

Check out our Hazelnut or Decaf options.
Why Earth & Star?
Let’s get one thing straight: we may not be the first to do it, but we are the best, if we do say so ourselves.
Here are just some of the things that make us stand out from the crowd.
1. Dual Extraction Process
We use a dual extraction process to make our mushroom extracts more bioavailable, meaning the body can absorb them more easily.
The first step includes hot water extraction. Mushrooms have water-soluble compounds, like beta-glucans, which aren’t easily absorbed by the body. These compounds are locked behind a “wall” called chitin, which has a pretty tough exterior.
Hot water can dissolve the chitin, making water-soluble compounds more absorbable. This liquid is collected, and the leftover mushroom material is extracted using alcohol.
Alcohol releases the rest of the compounds that aren’t water-soluble, like triterpenes, forming another concentrated liquid. Finally, the two liquids produced by the dual extraction process are combined to form our Mushroom Tincture.
FYI: Be wary of labels like “raw,” fermented,” or “micronized.” Only dual-extracted mushroom tinctures contain compounds that the body can absorb.
2. 100% Mushroom Fruiting Bodies
Our Functional Mushroom Products use 100% fruiting bodies, which is the part of the mushroom that grows above ground. This is the most nutrient-dense mushroom part with the highest concentration of beneficial compounds.
Meanwhile, other brands use mycelium, which gives mushrooms their structural support but provides very little when it comes to actual nutrients. It may be cheaper to grow, but as far as its benefits go, they falter compared to fruiting bodies.
And that’s why you’ll never see us using mycelium in our Functional Mushroom Products.
3. Certified Organic
Your well-being is our bottom line. That’s why our Functional Mushroom Products are made with 100% certified organic ingredients.
Non-organic products expose you to fertilizer and pesticides, which are nasty toxins that can lead to early cognitive decline. No, thanks.
Plus, not only does going organic reduce toxin exposure, but it can increase how much nutritional value you’re getting from your supplements.
Going organic can also support a healthier environment. Chemicals used in agriculture can deplete the soil of valuable nutrients, leading to all sorts of environmental problems. It’s also responsible for reducing the nutritional value of our food.
You’ll never see us use anything that’s been sprayed with chemicals.
