🐝🍄 One question we get asked a lot: Why do we add mushrooms to our beehives?

Simply because we believe in the value of fungi—not just for people, but for nature too.

We use mushrooms in our personal hives as part of our commitment to supporting healthy bees and healthy ecosystems. Research into fungi and bee health continues to grow, and it’s an area we’re excited to follow.

Every little bit helps when it comes to protecting these incredible pollinators. 🐝💛

Happy Men’s Health Month! 💪

New to functional mushrooms? This month is the perfect time to explore the many benefits mushrooms have on men’s health and beyond.

Dried Mushrooms versus Mushroom Extracts, which is better? 🍄

Most functional mushroom brands only use dried mushrooms in their formulas. But this is not beneficial and cost-effective!

Mushroom blends should ALWAYS be made with mushroom extracts. This is the most concentrated form of the fruiting bodies and mycelium which means you get a stronger and more valuable formula.

WholeSun Wellness is one of the ONLY brands to use hot water & dual extraction to break down the fungal walls, release the beneficial compounds in each mushroom, and make it easier and more potent for consumption.

So to us the answer is obvious, choose mushroom extracts every time you take your daily mushroom supplements!

Meet PuffBall! 🐢🍄

He’s been enjoying WholeSun mushrooms as part of his daily routine for years and is one of our favorite members of the fungi family.

While not all mushrooms are appropriate for animals and quality always matters, PuffBall is a great reminder that many animals can benefit from thoughtfully sourced, properly tested mushrooms.

We’ve heard countless stories from customers who share our mushrooms with their dogs, cats, horses, and other companions. PuffBall just happens to be our in-house mushroom enthusiast.

Can children take functional mushrooms? 🍄

The short answer is, yes! Cognitive mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are great for children to relax and focus at home and school.

We do suggest starting with a low dose of our mushroom extract (like a quarter teaspoon in juice) to see how your child responds. Our stronger formulas like Deep Brain might be too intense for children new to functional mushrooms.

Our extract powders are a great way to give your child more nutrition without compromising on taste. Simply stir in juice or smoothies and it’s barely noticeable.

We love seeing Mycolytes used in the wild! Here’s a review from Greg who added the tablets to his water during an alpine adventure. 🍄🏔️🌞

“The earthy quality of Mycolytes reminds me I’m part of nature. Grateful to be hydrated and connected with these beautiful alpine spaces!” - Greg

Studies show the prebiotic compounds in functional mushrooms such as polysaccharides and beta glucans can support a healthy gut. 🍄

Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Chaga are all great supporters of gut health, immunity, and more. Shop wholesunwellness.com to get these functional mushrooms in capsules and extract powders!

Did you know chaga mushrooms can only be sourced in the wild? The black mass called a “conk” is harvested from birch trees and composed of antioxidant-rich mycelium along with compounds from the birch.

Lab grown chaga won’t have the same health value because birch tree compounds won’t be included in the nutrition profile.

At WholeSun Wellness, all of our chaga is 100% organically sourced from native hardwoods. We use sustainable methods that don’t harm the tree and allow parts of the chaga to remain growing. This means the natural cycle continues and your health & wellbeing benefits in the process!
