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.

"I'm impressed with how good it tastes for only being 5g of sugar. I feel like I can have something yummy without it being bad for me. The hardest part is that I'm drinking it too fast because it's so good and not overly sweet like other hot chocolates. I recommend trying it!"

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 5-Defenders 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 5-Defenders 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.

View our certification on Purity-IQ

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 5-Defenders extract contains only the real mushroom—grown, extracted, and tested with integrity.

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.

5 Defenders™ is a blend of organic mushroom extracts designed to help support overall well-being, resilience, and immune system health.

5 Defenders is where most customers begin with Real Mushrooms.

While single-mushroom supplements can be helpful for targeted needs, they often address just one slice of the wellness picture. Real Mushrooms' 5 Defenders blend, however, supports:

  • Innate and adaptive immune function
  • Oxidative stress resilience
  • Calm, balanced energy
  • Gut and microbiome health (through Turkey Tail's prebiotic-like effects)


The blend is derived from 100% organic mushrooms, not myceliated grain, so you get potency without compromise: no starch, no fillers, just the active compounds your body can actually use.
