Ergo Rich Mushroom Powder
Ergo Rich is a premium mushroom powder containing L-Ergothioneine extracted from premium Australian grown and conscientiously imported organic mushrooms.
L-Ergothioneine is a unique amino acid. Our bodies have a unique transportation mechanism to carry L-Ergothioneine, which suggests this amino acid is important for our health.Ā
The antioxidant properties of L-Ergothioneine have been shown to help improve the visible signs of ageing, as well as sun damage and skin blemishes.
Mushrooms ā in particular Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms ā contain some of the highest known levels of L-Ergothioneine.
Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and beta glucans which help guard against cell damage, boost your immune system and help improve white blood cell production.
Ergo Rich can be used as part of your daily wellbeing and skin-care routine.
As with all our products, Ergo Rich contains only real fruit bodies with no added mycelium or grain.Ā
With five decades of experience, we are well placed to provide the highest quality L-Ergothioneine mushroom based products. Ā

Frequently asked questions
The cell walls of a mushroom are made of a substance called chitin. Itās a polysaccharide that our bodies canāt actually digest, which is a problem that prevents you from accessing all of the mushroomās beneficial compounds.
Dual extraction means that our mushrooms are processed twice. Hot water extraction releases some of the beneficial compounds, but some, like sterols and triterpenes, are still locked in.
Because we want to make the most of every single āshroom, we follow up with an alcohol extraction. Dual extraction ensures that your body can digest as many of the mushroomās beneficial compounds as possible.

It might surprise you to find out that most āmushroomā products on the market donāt come from actual mushrooms. In fact, most sellers have never grown a single mushroom. Instead, they grow mycelium, which is basically the roots of the mushroom.
Mycelium is grown on grain, like rice, millet, rye, or wheat. Many sellers grind up the mycelium along with the grain of, say, Turkey Tail. The truth is, what the customer ends up with is a product that contains few (if any) beneficial mushroom compounds. Instead, theyāve paid top dollar for a jar full of (mostly) starch.
Look for the words 100% fruit body to ensure youāre buying the good stuff!Ā

Because itās cheaper and quicker to grow, of course! The problem is, there isnāt hard evidence to show that mycelium is overly beneficial to humans. Graham (our founder and 40-year mycologist) has made the conscious choice to exclude mycelium from his products.Ā
Hereās why:
1. Mycelium is full of salt and carbs and offers no proven benefits
2. Itās impossible to separate the mycelium from its growing medium (often rice or grain) ā including mycelium in mushrooms powders inevitably introduces fillers that definitely arenāt beneficial

We grow our own mushrooms in Western Australia's most high-tech mushroom growing lab. But there are some that we can't grow ourselves because of our climate and conditions. In this case, we import mushrooms from Certified Organic growers. This means our customers get the best possible mushrooms.

The powders mix well and remember the potency is well worth the value.
I have two small dogs, mini fox terriers, and they get a few drops in their food each day. They get a clean bill of health each year when they visit the vet.
