Natures Root Lion’s Mane Mushroom POWDER 100g on amazon is better. A spoonful a day.
You kept saying “wow great effects” but you never said what they actually feel like?
What does each one feel like in my body??

Check out HostDefense. Made in the USA and owned by Paul Stamets. If you dont know who that is and enjoy mushrooms then do yourself a favor and watch youtube videos on him. Specifically any of the podcasts he has been on such as Joe ROgans. Your welcome
Try this, it is a very valuable product that actually works: https://www.yummymummyemporium.org/store/p927/microdosing_mushrooms_neuro_blend.html
Are you looking for the purest Mushroom check our Instagram @gano_smart
Just want to point out that just because she has a coupon code does not necessarily equate with the company giving her any remuneration. She seems like a very sincere person to me. Just sayin’ 😉
Only if the label gives you details like “40% polysaccharides” “10 mg ergosterol” “2% betulinic acid” you can be 100% sure you have a genuine extract. General statements like “contains a high level of beta-glucans”, “over 200 phytonutrients!” “contains PSP/PSK” are only found on non-extracted products; genuine extracts will always state the exact numbers. Simply, because they can, plus it provides them with a USP (Unique Selling Point). Non-extracted mushroom products can never claim a guaranteed percentage of whatever active ingredient. Levels do vary between mushrooms even if they were harvested in the same area. This is the case with all natural products.
Finally, the use of the term ‘extract’ can be very deceiving. Genuine mushroom extracts are in general the result of solvent extraction (hot water, maybe also hot ethanol). The bioactives are freed, diluted and concentrated in the solvent and then isolated.
However, we came across several ‘extracts’ that used terms like “10:1 extract”. This is misleading, because it basically refers to drying or concentrating a large amount/size to a smaller amount/size. It cannot be considered an indication of potency if there is no further specification of bioactives as described above. In this particular case we can state that e.g. 10:1 means it is simply a dried and powdered mushroom: mushrooms are often ± 90% water, so a completely dry mushroom has been reduced to 10% of its original weight. Herbal tinctures always use this indication of potency, but mushrooms are not herbs and do not disintegrate in alcohol or cold water, like dried herbs do.

I take a combo with Reshi. It totally kicks my butt. Helps to recover and get my immunity up. I did not know everything so thank you for the overview
Thank you for doing this video. Mushrooms are something I have been very interested in yet never really had time to research and find reputable dealers. I appreciate all the info you shared. I will be checking things out further and trying some of your recommendations!
Hey Steven, which would you recommend strictly for Lions Mane? I’ve heard the most good things about that one.
I thought it is not good when the mushroompowder is getting to hot, because hot temperature is destroying the proteins.. So I take them in capsules with water.
I’m so humble and I’m definitely not marketing… but you should totally use my promo code. Lol
This video is such a paid advert.
Guys look for brands that work for you and not for whatever you’re told. Especially when it’s like this. Medicinal mushrooms are good but shame that the industry is becoming so commercial and selling out.
“Not sponsored”
has a coupon code affiliate link
Yeah girl bye.
Onit review? Just be careful Joe Rogan will kick your ass lol.
Thanks for your video.
I couldn’t find a list of the tested brands and a solution of what was good to buy. Only one brand that u recommend and it is not possible to buy on iherb.
Would be a great option if u will give more details. Thanks
The best medicinal mushroom I’ve ever used was called Golden Teacher. Changed my entire life, quit smoking & drinking because I realised I was becoming an alcoholic just like my mom. The mushroom had such an impact on me that I started reading books, taking online classes etc & now I grow it too
For somebody with a neurodegenerative disorder looking for protection from Lions mane mycellium, what product would you recommend. Most of the products you recommend are made with fruiting body which lack appreciable levels of erinacines, the neuroprotective component of the Lions mane.
Thank you for the information!!! I fell in love with mushrooms recently thanks to “Fantastic Fungi” and I am excited to give these guys a try and see what its about.
You should try Edens essentials mushroom powder mix and tell us about it:)
I know of one, you forgot to mention: Psilocybe cubensis, health benefits: makes you joyful to embrace the world, connects you to (and with) nature, helps overcome anxiety, makes you think like a philosopher, opens the doors to new worlds and gives sounds, colors and shapes a different meaning. Oh, and it teches you to dance freely.
🙂
Haha, but seriously thank you for your informative and pleasant video! Some mushrooms are truly amazing, including the ones you talked about, and the one I jokingly mentioned. Medical sudies are beeing done, and it seems to be a true wonderdrug.
My own experiance of a long lasting after-effect was, that I could speak much more fluent and better english (I am german/hungarian and was traveling in Canada back then), just two h after the effect was over. And even better: it made me more confident, positive about myself and others, and more connected to our world.
Peace!
Sebastian
Gladly, I only purchased one bottle before I watched a video of how it was grown and saw that there was not a single mushroom growing. Also thank you for speaking fast and getting to the point, I find myself selecting 1.5 playback speed on so many videos.
I just want to suggest that people try each new mushroom type individually for a week or so. I had a reaction to reishi mushrooms giving me headaches.
Host defence is part of eds cusack protocol many having alot of success with. So much conflicting info
If you had to pick one of these to recommend to someone getting started with mushrooms, which would it be?
The one you feel is the most important, best side effects etc
I was AMAZED when I heard Paul talk on Joe Rogan pod cast I am THANKFUL to have stumbled across your video here. I had taken an entire bottle ( not all at once ) of HOST DEFENSE LIONS MAIN and I was not only NOT impressed but to me it seemed like a waste of money as I saw and felt ZERO sort of effects at all EVER, and after watching this I now understand WHY.
damn your beautiful you know that?
And your content rocks, keep up the good work good looking:D
Im sorry but I believe that China has 100x the amount of pollution as USA. And that mushrooms are like sponges and will soak up all shit in the air
Is there any mental side effects after using Lions Mane powder
so whats in the other 50% it contains if it contains at least 50% of the mushroom
Thank you for this post. I was trying to find where your recommended brand RealMushrooms was tested?
Really liking your channel but don’t know why you repeat yourself continuously just to make the video longer I guess
Would these be safe to have a 5 year old drink? More specifically the one that is an immune booster.
Steven Ray Warren I became interested in trying mushrooms due to this article; https://www.ergo-log.com/ahcc-increases-chances-of-survival-after-being-infected-with-deadly-virus.html
I see AHCC supplements sold seperately. Do you think they might be as bogus as host defense’s material? Perhaps just take quality mushroom powders, they will contain AHCC naturally?
What do you think of the Om brand? I thought I bought that with your discount, but it must have been someone else.
I ground my dried mushrooms to powder!
Why does the Bible say…..
“Whoever falls on that stone shall be turned to powder?”
“Have you ever noticed how a mushroom looks like the genitals of MEN?”
It’s a good thing that I grounded the mushrooms up into powder!
The END!
ME: “Hysterically laughing at stupid humans”
Really good information about the different types of mushrooms and the benefits, keep up all your good work and videos, just followed your Instagram as well, looking forward to watch some of your recipes videos
Wow! Lots of great commentary here. Very educational! Thank you all.
Is there concern or any data about heavy metal residue from processing/manufacturing of these products?
Any documented controls or published maximum levels?
Appreciate the knowledge you are sharing it seems almost everyone is out to scam us… Im glad we have a few people left willing to do things the proper way..
Is there a more affordable place to buy mushrooms that are still a trustworthy source because these are really pricey
If none of the brands you listed are Fungi Perfecti then I cannot really trust anything else you say.
Bitter taste is critical to be recognized by the tounge ☝☝☝
love your video. but please do something about the audio. super high pitch. i really do appreciate the info
he says a lot of interesting stuff and all, but I always knew deep inside that he was in in just for the money probably, or at least that he wasn’t being honest about a lot of it
Love this! I have been using Four Sigmatic ‘shroom products 2 years and 8 months and LOVE them. Excellent products, knowledge, customer service. Great talk Tero!
PAUL STAMETS? HOST DEFENSE? Bunk. Myceliated grain with very little beta glucan content. Mostly starch. Watch here https://youtu.be/3B9Rqr_3EcY
Did you know that heating mushrooms make them lose their medicinal properties? If you want to get the benefits don’t add them to your tea if you put boiling water afterwards.
Fair enough. But that’s upsetting for sure. I acknowledge my feelings for wanting to call you an asshat for challenging Stamets’ business but the evidence is irrefutable. Thanks for this information.
Inspirational and informative. More respect for the nutritional value of these mushrooms. Drinking Lion’s Mane coffee and Cordyceps Cacao.
Thanks for sharing your passion.
Good alternative mushroom supplement for improving immune function?
Could you review Onnit’s mushroom products sometime? Thank you and keep up the great work!
Namex? is this the name brand or the supplier name? i’d like to find out more on this supplier and its products? thanks
Thank you for this, Alyssa! I have been getting interested in medicinal mushrooms lately. The only one I’ve tried yet is Reishi. I’m glad you went into which ones are good for various times of the day, and how you’re feeling, etc.
BTW, you looked especially pretty in today’s video! Very fresh and vibrant =)
What do you think of the nutricost organic lions mane powder from amazon?
Activate is $49 for only 20 servings! A little steep pricing there for not even a months supply.
Thank you for an amazing video! I have a question on Chaga. One packagings says you need to boil it for 6-8 hours. Another one says you can just add it to a cup of hot water. Why is that? Has the latter been processed in some way already? If yes, then does it still keep it’s original benefits?
I wish you had talked about taste. For those use to drinking super healthy things and those who haven’t gone past fruit smoothies. I’m afraid the taste will be unbearable.I’m pretty sure your pallet is much further along than mine. Green smoothies are still tough for my family.
What do you know about
Fungi Perfecti and founder Paul Stamets? Thanks.
@Peter7966, he said that he’s an affiliate. Totally up front about that.
Make sure they are tested for heavy metals.same with kratom and fish oils. Funny mushrooms kratom and fish oil are my favorite supplements but they can have a lot of impurities
Please tell me what kind of memory benefits have you observed by Lions Mane Mushroom
Hi Steven, the lions mane product im using (does seem to work for me) but their website sounds a little concerning. What does this mean??
It says:
“The Australian native Lion’s Mane strain we are using does not contain erinacines and hericenones but instead contains similar compounds called corralocins.”
When you wildcraft, how do you maintain your practice as a sustainable practice? Is it possible to leach the natural “system” of its resources with this type of wildcrafting?
What about OM Mushroom Powder? Have you tried any of their’s?
Thanks so much!
The only thing I am suspicious of is the claim at 10:17 that Chinese mushrooms are of the highest quality. A number of Chinese mushrooms have tested positive for illegal pesticides.
He said he’s affiliated clearly up front. I believe he choose to affiliate himself with them because he really believes in the product.
Time to start testing other brands, and probably should link https://www.reddit.com/r/MushroomSupplements/comments/9gimyp/lions_mane_and_its_nootropic_potential_what_is/ to it all as it does show that the mycelium, as well as, the fruit body are both needed. But the extraction method is the one that will count when you want the most out of the mushroom.
THANK YOU. Was also blown away when I first looked at the back of a Crap Defense box coming from this guy. Real Mushrooms on the other hand are REAL MUSHROOMS 😉
Aloha hi, thank you good stuff.
Please I just purchased host defence lions mane is this a good product?
Thank you
So i ran into another video that emphasized how the Lion’s Mane Mushroom’s neurological effects or I guess the NGF (nerve growth factor) can only be extracted using alcohol if we wanted those benefits considering the Hericenones and Erinacines are terpenoid compounds. i mean idk i’m just typing what i picked up from that video.
If that’s true, will the lion’s mane supplement you recommend help with NGF/has it been extracted using alcohol method?
Really good videos btw, you’re very enthusiastic, straight to the point, and I love how you describe these things. You got my sub.
Thank you for sharing this information. I was wondering why it wasn’t doing anything for me and all it did was give me headaches…Thank goodness it was only one bottle. I thought it was the reishi themselves not working! I will give another try to a better brand though thanks to your information!
I’m not sure if I missed you saying this in the video but, are any of these good to curb appetite?
https://mushroomone.blogspot.com/2019/02/Medicinal-mushroom.html?m=1
love your videos i am a huge fan of medicinal herbs my self as well
Sun Potion is terrible. It’s mostly grain. Put some powder on your counter. It looks/tastes like flour! How did you come to the conclusion they were good?
I am having insomnia problems. how effective is Reishi for that?
So pretty much they’re selling apple sauce made from the bark of the tree rather than the apple?
The mycelium IS the mushroom, saying otherwise is like saying the root of the plant is not the plant. Rather highlight All the good things Paul does for the mycological community and grow your own if you want the real deal.
Noooooo I just bought 2. I don’t have a lot of money and this is infuriating. Paul, how could you do this to us?! Thank you for the video.
Thank you Steven for your research and information. I’ll share something that I discovered. In 2016 on a whim, I started putting freshly ground organic milk thistle seeds in my coffee. It gives the coffee a nice nutty flavor and milk thistle is the one herb that you does not become toxic after too long of use. Most herbs are only meant to be taken for a limited amount of time. Milk thistle cleanses and nourishes your liver. If your liver is working great, then it helps detox your whole body which helps all your organs to be healthy. The best company I have found over the years to buy herbs from is Starwest Botanicals. They have great prices, they get their herbs sourced from places the herbs naturally grow and they are organic.
Thoughts on Host Defense brand? It’s Paul Stamets company as I understand it.
Thank you for the video. May I please ask do you have to cycle these mushrooms to continually receive their benefits?
Science cannot determine what the active compounds in medicinal mushrooms are, how can you?
What did you say you mix with your butter coffee and lion’s mane with? Trying to make it to hyper space.
Check out Paul Stamets mushroom products? Very high quality products!
Alpha Dynamics doesn’t ship to Ireland which is very stupid. They’re loss
This guy is an ass. “High in polysaccharides” is a scam. The polysaccharides you want are the beta-glucans. Check out ORIVEDA, and Nyishar.
Can I add to decaf I trick my mind ) coffee….
Also, which one is best for anxiety? Gets lots of that sometimes
Great video what do you think about the mushroom powders that are a mix of all the mushrooms you mentioned or is it better to consume them separately?
Hi thanks for the video…just want to find out what you think on these Mushrooms
http://www.medimushrooms.co.za/
Wow this is pretty interesting thank you for making this video. Its a shame that Pauls mushrooms are low quality I never buy them myself as too expensive.
Loved this video.
Very informative. I love mushrooms! Cordyceps & Rieshi are my favorite
Had a inkling his product was bunk, appreciate the insightful views.✊✊
Wow just great I just found out about the power of mushroom extracts so excited to use these products. Just subscribed. Can you suggest a shiitake extract product?
You do a nice presentation. Are you getting a cut or a discount from Alpha Dynamics for promoting their product? If so, be up front about it. I’m not saying that’s bad. Alpha Dynamics may very well be a good product. I don’t know. But I do want to know upfront if I’m getting a sales job, or even a semi-sales job. Your relationship with the Alpha Dynamics folks hints at some sort of relationship beyond just being an educated consumer with a good rap.
I love medicinal mushrooms, there’s a powder I get by Mistyday with chaga, lion’s mane fungi, and gotu kola, which has noticeably reduced my stress and helped me focus a lot more. They’re also delicious in a smoothie with cacao <3
I have tried Real Mushroom (Lions Mane, and Reishi)…. but I didn’t feel any effects. 2 things though, I was taking capsules… and I wasn’t taking them on an empty stomach. Probably with dinner. I’d like to try them on an empty stomach, but my 2 scenarios for that are I’m doing an extended fast, and I don’t want the mushooms to break my fast… or, I can take them when I wake up, but I really like my coffee with heavy cream. Do you think that mushrooms with the coffee /cream might give me the same benefits as on an empty stomach? I will try this, but I’d like to hear your thoughts first. As always, I love your content.
Hi thanks. I just got into mushrooms and I buy the whole mushrooms and grind them up. I simmer them for 2 hours and store the liquid in the refrigerator. I use the liquid, butter and collagen instead of coffee
I wonder if I could put the powder in my coffee or do you know if my powder the same As the powder you use or do they do something else to it
Thanku so much for amazing video and share your great information
Wow, cool, you saw shaman durek! I’m buying or been using nootropics depot shilajit extract, I definatly feel it, hope it’s the real stuff! Thanks again Steven! Appreciate your work!
A FEW CLARIFICATIONS TO NOTE since filming & a Stamets response:
“Mushroom = fruiting body and vise verse. They are synonymous.”
“The term mushroom should NOT be used to describe mycelium. Mushrooms are the fruiting body, mycelium is known as the vegetative body.”
“When you’re describing the grain issue, it’s very important to make the distinction that mushrooms are not being grown on grains. Mycelium is.”
“Mycelium is being grown on grains like rice, oats, and sorghum then dried and powder and sold as a “mushroom” supplement when it contains no mushrooms.”
“Note, these myceliated grain products are not extracts. They are mycelium and grain (upwards of 70%) mixed together. The majority of what you’re paying for is grain with very little mycelium. This is why this white paper https://www.nammex.com/redefining-medicinal-mushrooms/ showed very little of the active compounds when testing myceliated grain products.”
These notes were sent to me by the people over at Real Mushrooms; I failed to communicate these points well in the video. Big shoutouts to them for caring about the community and truth
In regards to Stamets promoting Mycelium… you understand that he sells a mycelium product, right? And that Host Defense products are grown in the U.S.A… when it is not possible to produce organic mushroom extract powders in North America. Yes, you read that correctly. Refer to this article for further details… https://www.realmushrooms.com/where-are-medicinal-mushrooms-grown/
I respect Stamets and what he is doing with the bees and knowledge of these amazing Fungi… we are on the same team. But take into account he is a popular man with A BUSINESS TO RUN AND PROFIT OFF.
Please, people, do your own due diligence. Also, understand that I never said there is NO benefit from mycelium… just that most “mushroom powders” AKA grain mycelium are straight trash while proper fruiting body supplements are potent and active.
Thank you:)
Now the bottle says to take the 3 capsules all at once. I wonder if that makes a difference?
If it’s not organic it’s trash don’t buy it only buy organic certified
damn, shots fired! i feel like paul’s a nice guy who just got caught up in a cash grab. i wonder if that’s why he doesnt put his name on these products
What nobody is talking about is that if mycellium extract products were pure, it would be the superior product against the fruiting body. Reading the studies myself, erinacenes were far more effective at neurogenesis in-vitro. My question is: why is a legit mycellium extract not available? I get that it would be too expensive to produce in the US, but why don’t Chinese farms start producing them?
Oh wow glad I took the advice from some guy with no education on YouTube.
Bro you learned from Paul, you should be more respectful. And video talked nothing about the supplements being bad. You’re just promoting your own crap
All sounded reasonable until you said China makes the best mushrooms… so many problems with importing mushrooms from China. There’s a reason they’re so cheap to manufacture in China. I’d rather buy from a company that has access to all parts of the fresh mushroom, employees Americans and pays a reasonable wage, and does not cut health safety corners or risk exposure to unsafe chemicals in the supplements I take. Not to mention the process of these products being shipped thousands of miles. There are companies that can do all this. Gaia Herbs is one such example but there are many more.
I can’t support anything Paul says anymore. He lost all trust from me. If he saves the bees great but now he has to work 2x as hard to convince me he isn’t a snake oil salesman.
I noticed you are not responding to comments here… that said… you recommend Root and Bones brand cordyceps and I went to their site and their product states it is “cordyceps sinensis ” which is outlandishly high priced if it is actually real. But they are selling theirs for 200 dollars per pound. Were you aware that cordyceps militarist has all the same benefit for a much lower price? And you do not need to eat a Caterpillar casing… which is not exactly vegan… fyi
May i make a fair statement not an attack. Paul’s supplements have changed my life. I was plagued for years by upper respiratory issues and weak immune system. Due to alcohol abuse when i was younger. Foggy brain and weak joint back pain and stomach issues. Paul feels fruit body’s are very potent medicines. Argikon cannot even be eaten. Most fruit bodies should be made into tea or eaten as food. Too many spores are nasty on the belly. Paul’s medicines are mostly daily supplants. You cannot drink reshi tea every day.
Life cykel mushrooms tinctures are the best mushroom supplements hands down. Lions mane will have you dreaming all night and remembering everything..
What about organico and ganoderma supplements?
In improving cognitive functions, focus and reducing aniexty.
https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/immune-activating-properties-of-host-defense-mycommunity-mushroom-blend-confirmed-by-new-peer-reviewed-research/
What type of mushrooms would you Recommend for energy and strength? I’m a landscaper work out under the sun. Great vid by the way thanks
If you really want an affordable quality product just buy the mushrooms, dry them in a dehydrator (or oven on the lowest setting with the oven door cracked open slightly), grind them up and consume them. WAY cheaper than some powder recommended by some guy on the internet that is “friends” with the vendors. I found a local store that has dried lions mane, $24 for 8 ounces. (224 grams which is WAY less than any of these vendors for 100% dried mushrooms)
The video is conflicting.
I checked out the Real mushroom site you are advertising in the description you shared below the video. They mention that they test their mushrooms with “Third party vendors” yet post absolutely no data on that anywhere on the site showcasing that data. (unless I missed it?).
Also, the fact that you have your own discount code for the website you are sharing makes me question your intention with this video. hmm…
Thank you Steven for this valuable information. I subscribed to your channel by seen the firts video which was about nootropics. You are genuine & brilliant.
https://youtu.be/vnRDzotcQ9U this sounds like Paul’s reply to this video
What is your opinion on Life Cykel Lion’s Mane? I’ve heard reports that their tincture contains only a few grams in the entire bottle which is absurd
Have you ever seen a process explained anywhere on vacuum filtering pure mycelium from liquid culture to dehydrate for tinctures? I’ve heard of this method of harvesting it before but never a fully explained process on if there are any other steps
Just wondering if you cycle medicinal mushrooms? Do you take breaks from them to make them more effective?
FUCK this guys pronounciation of every fucking slightly hard word out there
Check out Host Defense or fungi.com. Paul Stamets does research on them and is very reputable.
The label on lion manes capsules say capsules made from myceliated brown rice.
Wow thank you so much for this video. I had been looking into the stamets supplements and I’m so happy you did a review. For someone new to supplementing with mushrooms which do you recommend? I’m currently on the real mushrooms website and I’m looking at purchasing lions mane, the 5 defenders supplements, and the turkey tail supplements. Would you recommend a different protocol? I know that turkey tail is in the 5 defenders so I’m not sure if this is a silly combo..
Thanks for siplifying my research on mushrooms, will start taking it…Btw quinoa originated in my home town Bolivia , my grandma use to make the best quinoa desserts!
Gracias Alyssa
Hello Steven!
Thanks for this information although it made me sad to learn Paul is scamming us:/
I had a question. Hopefully you see this and get back to me.
I was planning on buying Lions Mane from RealMushrooks and the other product on their website that has like 5 or 6 mushrooms in one (i think its immunity support and others.) The immunity pack says the name of the mushrooms and does not include lions mane.
Would it be safe to take that product with the 5 or 6 mushrooms, and a separate product strictly composed of lions mane? Or do i need to pick one or the other?
I just got 1 bottle of Paul’s lions mane for me and my wife to share and I’m saddened to think i wasted 45$ on something that isn’t effective.
I’m drinking reishi hot chocolate as I watch this I find it’s a great way to start the day if I know I have a lot going on in the day Thanks for all the great info!! Xxx
I was taking a different brand of Cordyceps for years and it really helped. Now I switch to Host Defense and it causes inflammation. Glad to see this video.
Very informative video, I would just cut out those “fuck” words, it would make even better video.
Thank you for the information, you gave it with zero bullshit and spoke with certainty which is hard to find on youtube. Thank you for this video, time to try some lions mane.
I was looking at some cordyceps the other day in the store from the brand OM. It said Cordyceps mycelial biomass and primordia powder cultured on organic white oats. It would be nice. I’m guessing that is a no-go….
Thanks so much iv just started on lions main in capsules and it’s only been a week allso started on cordyceps and I was blown away it works so well and fast for me any way the products come from a good organic tessted source.I’m wanting to try reshi soon as I have sleep problems ❤
I Was wondering what questions should i ask when looking for a reputable company that sells mushrooms?
The report misinforms readers in 3 key ways:
● ConsumerLab.com attempts to redefine the word “mushroom” in a misleading way.
● The ConsumerLab.com analysis addresses only 2 compounds in Reishi, when dozens of unique active compounds have been identified in supporting health. The report negates the documented health benefits of compounds other than beta glucans, such as alpha-linked glucans, polyphenols, ergothioneine, ergosterol, melanins, glucosamine and chitinous polymeric prebiotic macromolecules, among many other functional nutrients found in mushrooms. Chen et al. (2012) identified, after whole genome sequencing, that 429 genes were expressed unique to Ganoderma lucidum mycelia versus 91 in the fruitbodies. This means that mycelium offers a greater complex of active constituents than the fruitbodies.
● The ConsumerLab.com report used the incorrect method for beta glucan analysis of mushrooms. The method they referenced is designed for cereal grain products and is not an approved method for mushrooms. Due to mushrooms’ unique biochemistries, the analytical methods do not cross apply. In other words, the MegaZyme method does not produce consistent or meaningful results with mushrooms, and hence is not AOAC approved for such. This issue is well known among experts in beta glucan analysis.
Awesome video. Can I put activate in my smoothie? I don’t think I would like the taste in hot water, as I hate tea n mushrooms

I have an Australian product. My lions mane is literally the mushroom cut up into slices and dried, it is not a powder it is big chunks. I gather this is high quality judging on price, smell and looks

My question is how much should I be taking a day while microdosing with pschlosybin mushrooms. I’m currently following Paul’s stack but obviously sourcing my own top quality products
YES I know there’s a dosage of the back of jar but i am microdosing
Your opinion versus a career mycologists with patents supported by the national defense lmaooo stfu and go get and education and then read up on your literature instead of making time to spew bullshit
interesting that while you slam one product you push another…really weakens your point…also interesting that you do not link to the studies in your video…
Stephen Ray Warren is very passionate about the health benefits of “mushroom” as distinct from “mycelium on grain” and is keen that consumers know the difference so they can get the best possible health benefits. This is a very refreshing attitude. I am the developer of the so called “Megazyme” beta-glucan method for mushroom and yeast beta-glucan. This method was published by myself and one of our senior scientists, Ms. Anna Draga, in the Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists International in 2016, and it wastes second most downloaded paper from that journal for the whole of 2017. J. AOAC Int. is perhaps the most respected journal in this area. The mushroom beta-glucan method has not as yet been through the full AOAC validation process, but this will happen in the near future, after the scientific community does their own validation through using the method. I read a comment by Ms. Loni Jean Ronnebaum of MyCommunity concerning the method and conclude that she is clearly misinformed. First off, the so called “Megazyme method” for yeast and mushroom beta-glucan was designed for the measurement of these types of beta-glucan, in clear contrast to the comments by Ms. Ronnebaum. We have developed a separate method/kit for measurement of cereal beta-glucans (which have a quite different structure) and this method has been a world standard since 1996 and an official method of AOAC International and CODEX Alimentarius. In fact, nine of our methods have been successfully validated through the AOAC process to become international standards and are widely used and cited. We develop analytical methodology and we know what we are doing. The work that appears in our AOAC paper of 2016 on mushrooms was funded completely by Megazyme, however, the mushroom samples were provided by a reliable supplier, NAMMEX, as desiccated whole mushrooms. The analytical results we obtained for beta-glucan and alpha-glucan in these products are real and reproducible. The comment by Ms Ronnerbaum “that the method does not produce consistent or meaningful results with mushrooms, and is not AOAC approved for such. This issue is well known among experts in beta gluten analysis” is not just misleading, it is false. The method is very widely used and cited in scientific literature. Methods become AOAC Official methods only after an interlaboraory study is performed under the auspices of AOAC International. The fact that this has not yet occurred for this method does not detract from the fact that the method works, is highly repeatable and reproducible and is widely used. Interlaboratory evaluation will occur in due course. Since Ms. Ronnerbaum or her colleagues are having such problems in running the method, I would suggest that she visit the Megazyme website “ http://www.megazyme.com” and locate the details of the mushroom and yeast beta-glucan method (search K-YBGL) and open the video. This gives clear visual instructions on how to perform the assay. If still unsuccessful, I suggest that she open the “Ask a Scientist” link on our website and simply describes to a scientist her problem. We are there to help. Ultimately, consumers pay good money for the products they buy. They deserve to get what they pay for. Good analytical methods can help to assure that happens.
Why do you grow your mycelium on organic brown rice? Mushroom mycelium is an excellent ingredient for supporting health. To produce mycelium, it must be given a food source to eat and grow through. The food source (called substrate) must provide nutrients for the mushroom mycelium. Host Defense uses organic brown rice, an excellent substrate with which to produce the best mushroom mycelium ingredients. Beyond providing nutrients to grow the best mycelium. As enzymes expressed by the mycelium break down rice bran, arabinoxylanes form from simple sugars and starch. Arabinoxylanes are well known to offer immune benefits, including antioxidant support.
In this way, the rice derivatives become an integral component in Host Defense products for supporting health. The brown rice, which has been “cultured” by the mycelium, becomes a reservoir of valuable health supporting compounds, like arabinoxylanes. Understanding this, it is important to use a quality food source like organic brown rice to produce mycelium. And, it’s important to include the cultured substrate in the final product so that the full range of benefits may be experienced.
When produced and processed properly, mushroom mycelium contains a vast range of compounds, including enzymes, prebiotics, antioxidants and polysaccharides to support immunity. All of the nutrients and myriad compounds within the entire organism are beneficial to the immune system, and necessary for a whole foods approach to health. A chief goal with Host Defense products is to keep the mushroom’s natural chemical architectures intact. Therefore, we don’t isolate any specific compounds or concentrate them. While our products do contain these compounds, as a supplement company, we focus our testing on Identity, Composition, Purity and Strength rather than nutritional, mineral or other analyses. We can guarantee our capsules contain greater than 55% polysaccharides.
A quick Beta Glucan Analysis to help understand the reasoning.

I took the lions mane for months and ZERO ANYTHING. NO DIFFERENCE. it’s a scam for sure.
This sucks. I loved his TED talk. He was fascinating. Many great minds have been seduced by money before. I hope Paul has a change of heart.
Surprising you recommend products you’re affiliated with….
Steven, your positive attitude is totally contagious! I love the content and delivery! Keep it coming! Thanks to you, I won’t be duped by people selling a “quality” product.
I’m curious what your reaction is to this study? https://bmccomplementmedtherapies.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12906-019-2681-7
The fermented rice flour substrate appears to have stimulating immunological activity on its own. Looks like its not just an inert filler, but perhaps a reservoir for beneficial compounds from the mycelia.
so are you saying that a fetus is not human? LOL you’re ridiculous brother! but nice try 😉
Except the mycelium has been shown to have more bioactive compounds than the fruiting body, also beta glucan tests are not strong indicators to the contents of desirable compounds also… The fermented grain/rice also has been demonstrated to have medicinal value with bioactive compounds as well.
Also, can you link to your mushroom test kit that you referenced in the video please?
here is the article that you sited but i do not find anywhere where host defense is mentioned please show your documentation https://www.realmushrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Measurement-of-%CE%B2-Glucan-in-Mushrooms-and-Mycelial-Products.pdf
I only trust ‘Host Defense’
Paul Stamets makes them and goes through tons of trails to make sure they are pure mushrooms and safe. He also is on Joe Rogan’s podcast talking about the benefits of mushrooms!
What would you suggest to give a overall boost in energy and or motivation
It’s been found that most of the beneficial chemicals in lions mane come from the mycillium.
I am struggling with my adrenal glands! Struggling as in they are useless.
U read my mind.
Hi Steven, have you got a source for citing at 10:15, that the highest quality of supplements are grown in china because they have high standards or quality?” that goes against what china is as an entity and with no evidence, it’s simply your words against Pauls.
Thanks!
Excellent video… Im convinced except for the part about buying food/supplements from China. Don’t do it folks. He’s peddling a bit of bullshit about “its economically impossible to grow mushrooms in the USA” That is pure BULLSHIT.
Yay! I almost bought some! Thank you, and subbed! So, just grow your own lions mane, grind it up and put it in gel caps?
I appreciate you doing this video because I have started using the mushroom powders you have recommended. With you doing this video, it helps clarify for me which of the powders would be most beneficial to me at any given time. I have done some research; however, you have streamlined the process for me. I enjoy all of your videos to date and look forward to each new video you make. Keep up the great work in doing your part in helping us live a better qualify of life!:-)
I like the video and the message you’re sending. I just want to note that it is a bit confusing to show different pictures than the mushroom you are mentioning. At 3:52 you mention Reishi and chaga but show pictures of different mushrooms (the first being dryads saddle).
Don’t buy from realmushrooms. Their mushrooms come from China.They lack regulations and transparency.
If they didn’t care about laced baby formula which affected billions of people they’re not going to care about the safety of the supplement that some guy sells to the West.
Damn it Paul! You were the chosen one! I named my cat after you!
Really great information, thanks. Do you have the source for your comment about China mushrooms being high quality? I’m a bit sceptical about that part.
Awww…. I tried Alpha Dynamics and denied by my Bank as they are in Hong Kong?!?:(
Very nice video. I’ve been curious about medicinal mushrooms for a very long time. My local health food store sells them, their own brand and others. I think I’ll start with reishi.
I use supplements from LevelUpMushrooms. Any thoughts on them?
All these standard well used and new catch phrases. Good sales talk. So when did mushrooms become medicinal mushrooms? Powderized mushrooms have magically become what, healthier then fresh undried mushrooms, cause that is the underlying drift of the whole video I am getting. No mention of fresh mushrooms being any good at all medicinaly. Some of those Amazon products run from 2 bucks an once to 45 bucks an once and their just mushrooms you’d buy at the grocers fresh in a fray for a dollar.
Great Video! Thanks. I have been using Staments for years. Now is the time to make the switch. Same problems happen in the Red Light Therapy industry too, which I plan on tackling more of this kind of stuff this year.
As you said it’s about money, not having to fruit mushrooms skips a huge step and saves time and resources. But this obviously isn’t as pure in the result.
I’m not crazy that Four Sigmatic puts stevia in some of their formulas. I have a reishi one I don’t have because it’s too sweet.
There is alot of grain in it but it always worked for me. If you look at the back of the bottle there’s a sufficient dose of the actual mycelium within the myceliated grain. I actually wasn’t planing on getting host defense when I first went to buy the lions mane I wanted but the health store lady convinced me based on the whole China argument and how host defense was “clean” or whatever. I started thinking about it though and was like “well even If China has pollution problems the mushrooms are probably grown indoors and probably with clean grains”. So I guess I got played by the health store lady lol. Like I said though it still definitely worked for me. I’ll have to try another brand and compare. I think the fact that it has lower beta glucan is cause it’s not fruiting body. I may be wrong but I think the fruiting body has more beta glucans. I’d like to see people test the amount of erinacians cause that’s the compound im most interested in.
I actually found these to be pretty good compared to other brands.
But there way too expensive
