Our mushrooms are grown in greenhouses under natural lighting and fresh air flow, and cultivated on substrate materials unique to each particular mushroom to produce exceptional quality and highly potent mushroom extract powders. None of our mushrooms are grown on grain. Our extraction process involves dual-extraction using hot water and alcohol, a highly effective method of concentrating and increasing the bioavailability of the essential medicinal properties present in mushrooms. The combination of alcohol and water is essential for mushrooms that contain compounds which are not water-soluble, such as triterpenoids in Reishi and Chaga.

PureShrooms uses a unique micro ground coffee technology process to grind coffee beans into very fine particles, which helps to unlock the rich aroma and flavor of the beans. By grinding the coffee beans into finer particles, the surface area of the beans is increased, allowing for a more even and thorough extraction during brewing. This results in a smoother and more flavorful cup of coffee. Our micro ground coffee technology also ensures that our mushroom extracts are evenly distributed throughout the coffee, providing a consistent and enjoyable experience with each sip. The result is a delicious and aromatic mushroom coffee that you can enjoy every day.
