What does 100% Fruiting Body mean?Updated 2 months ago

Here's a little mushroom knowledge that matters for your wellness:

When we talk about mushrooms, we're technically referring to just the fruiting body—the part of the fungal organism (basidiomycetes) that pops up above ground. There's also a root-like network called mycelium that grows underground, gathering nutrients for the organism.

Many mass market products cut corners by labeling ground-up mycelium as "mushrooms." Here's why that matters: the majority of beneficial compounds are concentrated in the fruiting body, not in the mycelium.

That's exactly why our products contain 100% fruiting bodies—no fillers, no shortcuts. At BATCH, we believe in delivering the most effective products possible, which means using the part of the mushroom with the highest concentration of beneficial compounds.
