Discovering the value of mushroom mycelium​

One of the most significant outcomes of our research at Fungi Perfecti, LLC and Host Defense® has been discovering the value of mushroom mycelium. ​

Mycelium is the primary stage of the mushroom life cycle. Consisting of myriad delicate filaments that are only one cell-wall thick, it is the metabolically-active and longest living structure of the mushroom organism.​

​Mycelium is the longest living part of the organism, consisting of as much as ~95% of the overall life cycle, while fruiting bodies often represent less than 5% of the life cycle timeline. ​
​
Mycelium serves as the immune response that supports not only the health and vitality of the fungal organism, but also the health of the surrounding ecosystem. ​

Scientific research, targeted studies, and widespread use in holistic treatment plans demonstrate that when harnessed in the form of supplements, human beings also benefit from the significant health-supporting power of mushroom mycelium.*​
