This is a 1 pound (16 ounces) bag of Maitake mushroom powder, consisting of activated Maitake mycelium preparation. Other ingredients: organic myceliated brown rice. Mycelia are the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a network of fine white filaments. Organic brown rice is the growing medium, rather than sawdust or manure. The rice is consumed by the mycelia. It is not a filler. This is full disclosure regarding the ingredients. Mushroom Harvest takes many steps to ensure purity and a high constituent content. They are also concerned about providing mushroom products in which the constituents are in a bioavailable form. The main constituents of mushrooms, the 1,3-Beta Glucans, are tightly bound to the cell walls and have a low degree of bioavailability in raw mushrooms. To overcome this and increase the bioavailability of the constituents, all of their mushrooms undergo a steam activation process that breaks down the cell walls and frees the 1,3-Beta Glucans from the chitin. USDA Certified Organic: The mushrooms for this product are carefully grown, harvested, and processed at a certified organic farm and laboratory. To verify quality, each batch is sent to a third party analytical laboratory for testing. Made by Mushroom Harvest, Inc., U.S.A. Maitake mushrooms are also known as Hen-of-the-Woods and Sheep's Head. The Japanese call it the Dancing Mushroom. This mushroom has been popular in China and Japan for centuries for medicinal use and cooking. It is generally used to benefit the immune system.
