Frequently Asked Questions

MYCOfactor is an Australian company specializing in premium, organic functional mushroom products, including dual-extract tinctures and Lion’s Mane powder. We grow our own mushrooms and use only Australian-grown ingredients for the highest quality and potency available.

Both the Lion's Mane Dual-Extract and Lion's Mane Pure Powder, offer significant health benefits but the choice may depend on specific health goals and personal preferences. 

Lion's Mane Dual-Extract: is a concentrated liquid designed for rapid absorption and ideal for those who want the most potent cognitive support. It is very easy to incorporate into a daily routine and take with you anywhere. 

Lion's Mane Pure Powder: is a whole food product making it a great source of beneficial soluble fiber such as beta glucan. Powder is also especially useful for those who can not have any alcohol at all. Powders can be mixed into coffees, smoothies or by added to recipes to enhance overall health and can be used along with the tinctures for an extra boost.

Many bioactive compounds aren't soluble in water so a different solvent is needed. Therefore alcohol is used in the extraction process to get the full spectrum of bioactive compounds from the mushroom and provide a more comprehensive profile of bioactive substances compared to water extraction alone. Alcohol also preserves the bioactive compounds by preventing microbial growth and oxidation which allows the extract to live on the shelf if kept out of heat or direct sun. Lastly, alcohol can further enhance the absorption of certain bioactive compounds when consumed making the extract even more effective.

Because we do things differently— we're on a mission to make the absolute best mushroom wellness products. MYCOfactor actually grows mushrooms so you know that the mushrooms you take are expertly grown here in Australia on Australian materials. The vast majority of other brands just import cheap powder or extract from overseas and slap a label on it using deceptive marketing and labelling. Not us.

We use 100% organic, locally grown fruiting bodies—no fillers, no grain, no mycelium rice. Our tinctures and powders are made for real results, backed by science using cutting edge extraction techniques that we’ve refined ourselves.

We’re not trying to be trendy or get rich quick—we’re here to raise the standard. You’ll feel the difference

Powder: Stir 1-2 g into a coffee, tea or morning beverage for a subtle, toasty flavour and brain-boosting benefits. Or perhaps add into food such as morning cereal or yogurt. A wooden measuring spoon is included which holds approximately 1 g when level. Please note this is a whole food product so although it's finely ground, it may not fully dissolve. 

Dual-Extract: Take 1 ml per day, either directly under the tongue, in coffee, tea, smoothies, or water. Each bottle contains 30 servings. Some extracts affect the taste more than others. For example, the Lion’s Mane Dual-Extract tastes slightly toasty and is nearly tasteless in a coffee. You can also use by dropping directly under the tongue. Be sure to shake the bottle each time before use.

Most people notice benefits within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on consistency and individual response. Lion’s Mane, for example, supports cognitive function over time, while Cordyceps can provide an immediate energy boost.

Yes! Our products are designed to complement each other. Many people stack Lion’s Mane for cognitive function and Cordyceps for energy as they start their day, then Reishi for relaxation and Turkey Tail for anti-inflammation as part of their nightly wind down routine.

No. We keep our products clean and potent — no fillers, grains, starch, flavourings or unnecessary additives.

Functional mushrooms have been used for centuries for long-term health benefits. Our products are made from 100% Australian organic mushrooms grown on Australian materials so that they are free from heavy metals and other chemical contamination. They have also been 3td party tested for food safety and bioactive content. 

However, as always please check with your health professional before making any dietary changes if you have any health concerns or are taking any blood-thinning or immune-modulating medication.

We use premium quality mushrooms that are organically grown here in Australia. Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Reishi and Cordyceps are grown by our farm Urban Valley in Brisbane, Turkey Tail is grown by Fungiifind in the Yarra Valley. No imported mushrooms, ever.

Yes! We are committed to quality and transparency so we test for potency, safety and contaminants to ensure we create the best product possible.

Powder: Fresh lions mane dries down to a powder in a 10:1 ratio meaning it takes 10 kgs of fresh mushroom to make 1 kg of Lion's Mane Pure Powder.

Dual Extracts: We use a 1:1 mushroom-to-extract ratio, that is because the dual extraction process fractionally extracts the compounds so that they are in their most bioavailable format. Any more concentrated and the compounds lose solubility and may not be absorbed into the body as easily.

No, our dual-extraction process uses alcohol to extract key bioactive compounds.

We are working on a range of alcohol-free dual-extracts which require alternative methods of extraction and preservation while still providing the same potency and bioavailability.

Our products are formulated for adults. Consult your healthcare provider before giving any supplements to children or pets.

While mushrooms are generally safe, always check with your healthcare provider if you’re taking medications, especially immune-modulating or blood-thinning drugs.
