Reishi Extract

We grow all our mushrooms from spore to fruit at our Abu Dhabi base (the UAE’s only speciality fungi farm). So we’re in control of every step of their journey to you - and can promise them at the peak of their harvest-fresh goodness. Our circular, planet-first, science-led ethos guides everything we do. So our mushrooms grow chemical-free on a natural, sterile substrate made from local waste materials like date palm fronds, coffee grounds and wood. When ready, we hand-pick them and deliver them to your door. Or transform them into gourmet and adaptogenic products that give you their delicious and revitalising mushroomy essence.

No. Mushrooms never like being washed. And, with ours, you don’t need to. You won’t find any dirt or chemicals clinging to them. Because we grow them in a sterile environment with no pesticides or fertilisers. And they’ve had no exposure to risky elements during import from far-flung lands

Like all mushrooms, a great starting point for cooking our local, speciality mushrooms is to sauté them with a little bit of oil, garlic, salt & pepper. Chop up the mushrooms or tear by hand if you prefer. Get the pan & oil really hot before adding in the mushrooms. Top tip with mushrooms: adding any marinade or sauce afterwards leaves you with the best texture.

Because of our natural, chemical-free ethos, we let our mushrooms take their own good time to grow. So occasionally some varieties might be unavailable - you can select to be notified the moment they’re in stock again. And, if there’s ever a short delay in your dispatch, we’ll be in touch to let you know.

For powders, we just dry and pulverise our home-grown mushrooms. So you get the same nutrient-rich spectrum of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fibres and bioactive compounds as in the fresh fungi. For extracts, we macerate the powder and then draw out the mushroom’s bioactive essence. So you get a potent therapeutic serum, whose active compounds are concentrated, readily available and easy to absorb (but without the mushroom’s broader nutritional benefits).

Most nutrients and active ingredients are in the mushrooms’ above-ground fruiting body, not their underground mycelium web. So we take our Below Farm mushrooms and carefully remove every trace of the mycelium-packed growing substrate from the caps and stems. Then we turn them into nutrient-rich powders and potent extracts to transform your health.
