While wild Cordyceps was historically harvested from the Tibetan Plateau, its scarcity and cost have driven interest in cultivated alternatives.
Cordyceps has been studied for its ability to modulate immune function, support hepatic, respiratory and sexual health, enhance energy metabolism and promote healthy blood glucose regulation. Key active compounds, including cordycepin and adenosine, have been associated with mitochondrial support and steroidogenesis.
MycoNutri™ Cordyceps is produced from organically cultivated Cordyceps mycelium and fruiting bodies. The hot-water extract is vacuum-concentrated, spray-dried, and standardised to contain over 30% total beta-glucans (75% soluble), at least 1% cordycepin and 0.5% adenosine.
MycoNutri Cordyceps Extra (standardised to 1% cordycepin).
Cordyceps' unique health benefits are largely due to the nucleoside derivatives it produces of which cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) is the most important. With this in mind Myconutri brings you Cordyceps EXTRA which is their highest cordycepin level product.
MycoNutri Organic Lions mane is one of the most concentrated extract products available in Ireland. Lions mane has been used over many centauries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and regularly used in our clinical practice here at Ivywood.
Lion’s Mane is a distinctive edible mushroom that grows on aged hardwood trees. Due to its protected status in parts of Europe, including the UK, MycoNutri™ Lion’s Mane is produced exclusively from cultivated H. erinaceus.
Lion’s Mane contains a diverse range of active compounds, including diterpenoid erinacines, benzaldehyde hericenones and beta-glucans. These compounds have been the focus of clinical research for their potential neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroregenerative effects, with particular relevance to cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment and peripheral nerve regeneration.
MycoNutri™ Lion’s Mane combines vacuum-concentrated and spray-dried alcohol and hot-water extracts for full-spectrum activity.
MycoNutri™ ORGANIC Meshima
Sanghuangporus sanghuang (syn. Phellinus linteus)
MycoNutri™ Meshima is produced from wild-harvested fruiting bodies using a dual process hot-water extraction method followed by vacuum concentration and spray-drying. The final extract provides a full spectrum of active compounds, including triterpenes and flavonoids and contains more than 35% total beta-glucans.
Free from dairy, gluten, corn, soya and GMO’s. This product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
MycoNutri™ PS-7 is a polysaccharide-focused formulation developed to help support balanced immune function. It contains organic hot-water extracts, standardised for polysaccharide content, from the following mushroom species: Chaga, Maitake, Oyster Mushroom, Reishi, Shiitake, and Snow Fungus.
The mushroom-derived polysaccharides, often described collectively as beta-glucans, consist of diverse monosaccharide units and may include associated protein structures. Their immunological activity is influenced by factors such as branching pattern, molecular weight, and tertiary conformation, all of which affect their ability to engage with pattern recognition receptors on immune cells. Variations in structure between species are associated with differences in receptor affinity and downstream effects, contributing to species-specific immunomodulatory profiles.
MycoNutri™ PS-7 is manufactured using hot-water extraction, followed by vacuum concentration, spray-drying, and blending. The finished extract contains more than 30% total beta-glucans, with all of the polysaccharide content in soluble form.
MycoNutri™ Red Yeast Rice Complex
MycoNutri™ Red Yeast Rice Complex is a synergistic blend of Red Yeast Rice (Monascus purpureus, standardised to at least 1.6% monacolin K), Shiitake hot-water extract and Coenzyme Q10 (10%).
Red Yeast Rice is produced through the fermentation of rice with Monascus purpureus, generating monacolin K, a natural inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. It also provides beta-glucans and plant sterols, which contribute to maintaining healthy lipid levels.
Shiitake contains the antifungal agent eritadenine, which has hypocholesterolemic activity through inhibition of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase. Coenzyme Q10 is included to support cellular energy production and help maintain healthy CoQ10 levels.
Free from dairy, gluten, corn, soya and GMO’s. This product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
MycoNutri™ Organic Reishi:
Ganoderma sichuanense (syn. G. lucidum)
Reishi is valued for its wide-ranging health-supporting properties. Its benefits are attributed to the synergistic activity of immune-modulating polysaccharides and anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective triterpenes.
To ensure effective levels of both, MycoNutri™ Reishi is produced from organically cultivated fruiting bodies grown on hardwood logs using dual hot-water / alcohol extraction followed by vacuum concentration and spray-drying. The resulting extract contains more than 20% total beta-glucans (all of which are soluble) and over 8% total triterpenes.
Free from dairy, gluten, corn, soya and GMO’s. This product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
MycoNutri Reishi EXTRA 60 capsules
Alongside polysaccharides, triterpenes are key active constituents from Reishi and are responsible for many of its unique health benefits. As they are only poorly water-soluble, Reishi Extra uses alcohol extraction to deliver higher levels (>15%). All alcohol is then removed by vacuum concentration and spray-drying.
Energy, Balance & Resilience – Adaptogenic Support with Reishi, Cordyceps & Ashwagandha
MycoNutri™ Reishi-Cordyceps Complex is designed to support energy, resilience, and overall vitality. This unique blend combines full-spectrum Cordyceps (standardised to contain over 1% cordycepin), dual-extracted Reishi, and premium Ashwagandha KSM-66.
Cordyceps and Reishi are valued for their adaptogenic properties, helping the body maintain balance during times of stress, while Ashwagandha contributes withanolides that support stress tolerance and hormonal function.
Together, these ingredients provide natural support for immune health, energy metabolism, and mental clarity, delivering a full spectrum of bioactive compounds including polysaccharides, triterpenes, nucleosides, and withanolides.
MycoNutri™ Reishi-Curcumin Complex is a blended formulation combining dual-extracted Reishi with standardised extracts of Turmeric, Boswellia, and Devil’s Claw. This complex is designed to support balanced inflammatory responses and immune modulation.
Reishi contributes both triterpenes and polysaccharides, which support immune system regulation and help modulate inflammatory processes. Curcumin from Turmeric, boswellic acids from Boswellia, and harpagosides from Devil’s Claw are well studied for their roles in supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory pathways.
This formulation includes hot-water and alcohol extracts of Reishi fruiting body, hot-water extracted Turmeric rhizome, alcohol extracted Boswellia oleo-gum-resin, and 30% ethanol extract of Devil’s Claw root.
Snow Fungus is a parasitic fungus that typically grows on other fungi, particularly species of the genus Annulohypoxylon, which inhabit decaying branches of broadleaf trees. Polysaccharide extracts from Snow Fungus have been researched for their immune-modulating potential, neuroprotective properties and cardiovascular benefits. These same polysaccharides are also valued in the cosmetic industry for their moisture-retention properties and their role in enhancing microcirculation at the skin’s surface.
MycoNutri™ Tremella is produced using hot-water extraction followed by vacuum concentration and spray-drying. The final extract contains more than 30% glucomannan polysaccharides.
