Mushrooms + Chocolate
Our certified organic, dairy free, hot chocolate mix made with 75% heirloom cacao and our signature 5 Defenders® organic mushroom blend.
Add to hot water with or without your favorite creamer or turn your coffee into a mocha.
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 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™ Authenticity Certification Program - a cutting-edge nuclear magnetic resonance technique 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.

Real Mushrooms vs. Other Brands
Not all mushroom supplements are created equal. Real Mushrooms has set the standard for the most effective mushroom products because we have never compromised on quality. Here’s how Real Mushroom supplements compare with the other leading brands on the market.
| Real Mushrooms | Other Brands | |
|---|---|---|
| Mushroom Source | 100% organic mushrooms (fruiting bodies) | Mycelium fermented grain (starch) and fillers |
| Beta-Glucan Content | Guaranteed beta-glucans — every batch third party tested for identity, purity and potency | Typically low beta-glucans and not disclosed — may list total polysaccharides instead which includes any starches |
| Extraction Method | Hot water extracted or dual extracted for potency & optimal absorption | Improperly extracted or simply dried and ground |
| Filler-Free Guarantee | No starch, no fillers, no mycelium fermented grain | Commonly contains grain (rice, oats or sorghum), starch and/or maltodextrin |
| Transparency | Full disclosure of ingredients, sourcing, testing and extraction | Vague or misleading marketing and unclear labeling |
| Cost per Serving | Cost-effective for active compounds concentration in every serving | Very expensive for amount of active compounds present |
| Expertise | 50+ years of mushroom cultivation expertise — leader in supplement industry quality & standards | Mislead customers with ambiguous labeling and filler-heavy products |

Pamela I do not like coffee...but I LOVE hot chocolate. So I make this for myself almost every morning. I work with people who seem to be CONSTANTLY sick during cold and flu season. (Sound familiar? I feel like most work environments have people like this.) They pass it on to everyone in the office...except me. I'm convinced this hot chocolate is the reason why I'm able to stay healthy. Not only does it taste great, but it gives my immune system a much needed boost.

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 Denfenders® 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.
