Frequently Asked Questions
Behind the bottle: what goes in, where it comes from, how it’s crafted, and why it matters for your daily ritual.
General
Functional mushrooms are more than just food — they’re fungi known for their ability to support the mind and body. Rich in natural compounds like beta-glucans, terpenes, and antioxidants, these mushrooms have been used for centuries to promote focus, immunity, calm, and gut balance.
At Mushio, we source only the fruiting bodies — the most potent part — and extract them for modern use, rooted in forest wisdom.
Some are. Adaptogens are natural substances that help your body respond to stress and find balance. Reishi, for example, is known for its calming, adaptogenic effects. While not every functional mushroom is technically an adaptogen, many — like Lion’s Mane, Chaga, and Shiitake — support your system in complementary ways: focus, resilience, gut balance, and more.
A mushroom extract is a concentrated liquid that captures the beneficial compounds of the mushroom. At Mushio, we use ultrasonic-assisted water extraction — a method that gently breaks open the mushroom’s cell walls to make key compounds more bioavailable. The result: a pure, potent extract you can feel.
Take 2 ml per day (about two half pipettes). You can place the drops directly under your tongue for faster absorption, or mix them into water, coffee, tea or smoothies.
Consistency matters more than timing, but each mushroom has its best moment — Lion’s Mane in the morning, Reishi in the evening, Chaga during the day, and Shiitake with meals
Everyone’s experience is different. Some people notice subtle shifts in clarity, calm, or energy within the first few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use. Mushrooms work gently and cumulatively — they’re most effective when taken daily, as part of your routine. Think of them less as a quick fix, and more as a quiet support that builds over time.
Yes. Our bottles are made from high-quality amber glass, which is both recyclable and reusable. You can place them in your local glass recycling or repurpose them at home — for tinctures, oils, or even a tiny flower stem. We chose glass not just for its sustainability, but because it protects the extract from light and preserves its potency, naturally.
Product
Our extracts are crafted in Finland. Every bottle is made with 100% fruiting body mushrooms grown in organic, certified Nordic environments and extracted using cutting-edge ultrasonic-assisted water extraction.
We currently offer four single-mushroom extracts, each selected for a specific area of well-being:
–Lion’s Mane for clarity and cognitive support
–Reishi for sleep and emotional reset
–Chaga for immunity and antioxidant defense
–Shiitake for gut health and gentle vitality
We don’t just grind mushrooms — we extract their active compounds using ultrasonic technology that breaks down the cell walls for better absorption. Our extracts are liquid, potent, and bioavailable — no fillers, grains, or mycelium. Just nature, made usable.
We use ultrasonic-assisted water extraction — a method that uses sound waves to gently rupture mushroom cells, releasing a full spectrum of active compounds. The result is a clean, potent extract, stabilized with 22% organic ethanol for shelf life and efficacy.
–Lion’s Mane: morning or midday for focus and clarity
–Chaga: anytime during the day for immune resilience
–Shiitake: morning or midday to support digestion and vitality
–Reishi: evening to ease into rest and relaxation
Absolutely. Every batch is third-party lab tested for heavy metals, microbial contamination, and active compound content. We follow strict EU safety regulations — because trust is something you should feel in every drop.
Each extract has a shelf life of 3 years from production. To keep it fresh, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is optional but not required.
Mushio’s Mushrooms
Our mushrooms are cultivated and foraged in the wild, clean forests of Finland, including above the Arctic Circle. The cold climate, clean air, and organic-certified substrates create ideal conditions for mushrooms to develop their full spectrum of beneficial compounds.
Mushrooms grown in Finland develop under unique environmental stressors — long winters, clean soil, and seasonal variation — which naturally enhance their resilience and potency. We source from this Nordic climate to bring you extracts with rare strength and purity.
We only use the fruiting body — the visible, mature part of the mushroom where the highest concentration of active compounds is found. We never use mycelium, grains, or fillers. Just pure, slow-grown mushrooms harvested at peak potency.

We offer free shipping on all EU orders over €50. For smaller orders, shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.
