 WHAT MAKES THIS 10 MUSHROOM BLEND SO SPECIAL?
This is a  blend of 10 different clinically proven medicinal mushroom species. Studies indicate a highly synergistic effect is created in the body when multi-species medicinal mushroom blends are consumed.

Myriad Mycology mushroom powder is grown in the United States.  This blend is made from finely ground mushroom mycelium, (see diagram below) and some mushroom fruiting bodies. 

Through rigorous quality control, a standardized level of growth is achieved before the species are processed into a bio-available form for consumption. Myriad Mycology makes all of their powders with proprietary steam extract methodologies to ensure a high degree of water soluble constituents, such as polysaccharides, are bio-available in the end product.

Need a bit more information on the Parts of Mushrooms
Mushrooms have a variety of different parts. See the diagram on the left to identify what each part of the mushroom is.

Cap: The cap is the top of the mushroom (and often looks sort of like a small umbrella). Mushroom caps can come in a variety of colors but most often are brown, white, or yellow.

Gills, Pores, or Teeth: These structures appear under the mushroom's cap. They look similar to a fish's gills.

Ring: The ring (sometimes called the annulus) is the remaining structure of the partial veil after the gills have pushed through.

Stem or Stipe: The stem is the tall structure that holds the cap high above the ground.

Volva: The volva is the protective veil that remains after the mushroom sprouted up from the ground. As the fungus grows, it breaks through the volva.

Mycelium: The mycelium of a mushroom is essentially the root system. These thin strands stretch outward and downward to search through the soil for nutrients.
