Cordyceps: Nature’s Energy Ally

Traditionally used to support stamina and vitality, Cordyceps is known as the “energy mushroom” for good reason. It contains naturally occurring compounds that act as precursors to adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the molecule responsible for cellular energy production. This makes Cordyceps a powerful ally for those looking to feel more sustained energy, resilience, and balance throughout the day.†

Real Mushrooms, Not Filler

Most mushroom supplements fail because they’re made without mushrooms: they use mycelium fermented grain. Those products have few beneficial fungal compounds—they’re mostly starch.

We use 100% hot water-extracted mushrooms (fruiting body) to unlock the true full spectrum of beneficial compounds.

Highest-Quality, Organic Ingredients

Our Cordyceps capsules are made from organically cultivated Cordyceps militaris, grown in a clean, controlled environment—unlike the wild Cordyceps sinensis strain(the caterpillar fungus), which is not only unsustainable but often inconsistent in quality.

Our Cordyceps militaris extract contains only the real, USDA-certified organic  mushroom—grown, extracted, and tested with integrity. The cordyceps mushrooms are.

Real Science

Real Mushrooms is built on 50+ years of mycological and mushroom growing expertise. Our founder’s roots trace back to the beginning of the functional mushroom category in North America. Today we continue to lead the industry in science-backed and effective mushroom supplements.

Every batch of Cordyceps-M is lab-verified for beta-glucan content and free of unwanted fillers like starch or alpha-glucans from grain. This scientific transparency ensures that what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the bottle.
Real Quality

Why Beta-Glucans Matter

Beta-glucans are the primary active compounds in Cordyceps-M mushrooms that support immune function.* Most mushroom products don’t list beta-glucan content, but we do.

Beta-Glucans indicate an authentic mushroom product versus myceliated grain products that contain high levels of starch (Alpha-Glucans) instead.

Real Mushrooms offer potency you can trust, in every capsule.

We use only 100% mushroom (fruiting body)—no grain, no mycelium, no fillers.

This product has received the Purity-IQ™ Verified Mushroom Identity Certification—a cutting-edge genomic testing standard that confirms we use the correct mushroom species and nothing else.

Certified organic. Verified species identity. No shortcuts. Just clean, potent mushrooms—exactly as nature intended.

We partner with experienced mushroom growers using Di Dao 地道(spiritual homeland) cultivation practices to harvest mushrooms in their geo-authentic environments. Our mushroom Cordyceps-M extract contains only the real mushroom—grown, extracted, and tested with integrity.

I've only been using these for one day and I'm already feeling some positive effects. Can't wait to see what it's like once they've had time to fully start working.

I notice an improvment.

Frequently Asked Questions

All our mushroom extracts are from the leading supplier of organic mushroom extracts: Nammex. They have over 40 years of mushroom growing experience and were one of the first companies to bring organic functional mushroom extracts to North America.

Their ingredients go through rigorous quality control and are tested twice for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals and microbial contamination to ensure they meet all standards for dietary supplements of this nature. All of their extracts are made from certified organic mushrooms (fruiting bodies), organically grown or wildcrafted from deep within mountain regions of China.

Mushrooms used for dietary supplements are seldom grown in North America since they are too expensive. China is the leading supplier of mushrooms worldwide and supplies over 90% of the world’s mushrooms. 

It has a rich history of mushroom use as both food and medicine and is the birthplace of mushroom cultivation, with shiitake being farmed in the early 1200s. China is one of the only places in the world where you can get 100% organic mushroom (fruiting body) extracts that can be sold at an affordable price.

The products are identical. The only difference is how you want to consume them.

2 capsules is equivalent to roughly a 1/2 tsp of the mushroom powders.

In terms of potency and efficacy, both the capsules and powders are equally effective at delivering.

The capsules are great for travel, whereas the powder can be added to recipes or mixed in coffee, tea or bone broth.

Natural ingredients don’t always flow smoothly through processing equipment, and capsule manufacturers need to utilize other ingredients to fill capsules. It is common practice for encapsulation facilities to require the use of other ingredients.

We have worked closely with our encapsulation partners to ensure that only what is added is necessary to create the Turkey Tail mushroom capsules.

Cordyceps is a functional mushroom traditionally used to support energy and vitality. Today, it's sought after by everyone from athletes to busy professionals for its ability to support:

  • Healthy energy and stamina*
  • Physical performance and oxygen utilization*
  • Recovery from exercise and fatigue*
  • Immune function and overall wellness*
  • Healthy kidney function*
  • Healthy liver function*

Cordyceps contains naturally occurring compounds such as cordycepin and beta-glucans, which are believed to play a key role in these benefits. At Real Mushrooms, we use 100% organic Cordyceps militaris mushrooms (fruiting body only)—not myceliated fermented grain. Our mushrooms are carefully cultivated, hot water extracted, and verified for potency and purity in third-party labs.

This ensures you get a pure, powerful extract that supports your daily energy needs—without the added starches or fillers found in many other mushroom supplements.

Can Cordyceps help with energy or athletic performance?

Cordyceps is widely used for its potential to support sustainable, balanced energy—making it a popular choice among athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to avoid the crash of caffeine or stimulants. Research suggests Cordyceps may support improved oxygen uptake and aerobic capacity, which can aid in endurance and performance during physical activity.*

The key compound believed to contribute to these effects is cordycepin, which is found in high concentrations in Cordyceps militaris—the strain use in our supplements. Unlike many products made from myceliated grain, Real Mushrooms Cordyceps contains no added starch or filler, and is tested for high levels of active compounds like beta-glucans.

That would be Cordyceps sinensis, which grows out of a caterpillar’s body and is incredibly pricey and rare. While it is the most well-known species of Cordyceps mushrooms, it's just not realistic to produce this mushroom at scale.

Here at Real Mushrooms, we use the cultivated alternative, Cordyceps militaris. It is the only type of Cordyceps species that can be commercially cultivated at scale to produce a Cordyceps powder from its fruiting body, and it is becoming quite popular for health benefits like energy support in supplements.

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides found in mushrooms and are among the most studied compounds for their functional properties*. For this reason, we specifically measure beta-glucan levels on our products.

We do not believe in using polysaccharides as a measure of quality as they can be easily doctored using starch-like substances like grains.

Whether you’re training hard or just looking for more natural energy throughout your day, Cordyceps may help you feel more resilient, active, and ready to perform.

Natural ingredients don’t always flow smoothly through processing equipment and capsule manufacturers need to utilize other ingredients in order to fill capsules. It is common practise for encapsulation facilities to require the use of other ingredients.

We have worked closely with our encapsulation partners to make sure that only what is added is absolutely necessary to create the capsules.
