At Ivywood, we are the Irish distributor of MycoNutri medicinal mushroom products. MycoNutri Antrodia contains cultivated mycelium of Taiwanofungus camphorata, a rare fungus native to Taiwan. This product information page provides details of its composition, cultivation, manufacturing process, nutritional analysis and recommended use.
Antrodia – Taiwanofungus camphorata (Syn. Antrodia camphorata)
A rare fungus native to Taiwan, where it grows exclusively on the small-flowered camphor tree (Cinnamomum kanehirae). Due to historical overharvesting and deforestation, wild specimens are now scarce.
Because wild Antrodia is scarce and slow-growing, modern biotechnology has enabled cultivation of its mycelium through Submerged (deep-liquid) fermentation, creating a clean, sustainable and consistent source of its key compounds.
MycoNutri's Antrodia contains fermented mycelium, rich in naturally occurring polysaccharides and triterpenoids, uniting traditional heritage with modern scientific precision.
MycoNutri™ Antrodia uses mycelium grown by liquid fermentation with a guaranteed minimum of 4% triterpenes.

Directions & Serving Suggestions
2 capsules a day, or as recommended by your health professional. Not suitable for children under the age of 14.
Capsules may be opened and sprinkled into hot/cold drinks, smoothies, juices, soups or food if preferred.
Powder
Take up to 1/3 level 5ml tsp daily, or as recommended by your health professional. Add to hot or cold beverages or sprinkle into food for easy consumption. Not suitable for children under the age of 14.
1 x level teaspoon = approx 3g.
The powder has a relitavely mild flavour and is best added to smoothies or juices.
Partially water-soluble, as it is produced from Submerged (deep-liquid) fermented mycelium powder rather than an extract.
Growing Seasons & Information
Produced entirely by Submerged (deep-liquid) fermentation, which allows controlled year-round cultivation independent of external climate or season.
The fermentation process is conducted in sterile, temperature-controlled bioreactors using nutrient media designed to simulate the natural environment of wild Antrodia.
Raw Material Manufacturing Process
The fermented mycelium of Antrodia camphorata is produced through submerged fermentation (also known as deep-liquid fermentation), which differs fundamentally from conventional solid-state fermentation.
In submerged fermentation, the mycelium grows within a liquid nutrient medium under precisely controlled conditions.
This method allows the mycelium to be cleanly separated from the growth medium, ensuring a pure and uncontaminated biomass and producing a product with greater consistency and potency compared to solid-state cultures, which often contain residual substrate materials.
After fermentation, the mycelium is harvested, freeze-dried or low-temperature air-dried, then milled into a fine powder, sterilised, sieved, and passed through a metal detector to ensure purity and safety.
