Why Mushrooms

Whole-food, organic functional mushrooms, used in eastern cultures for thousands of years.

The Om standard

Quality doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built with intention and held through every step of the Om process. Every Om mushroom is organically grown and processed in our own BRCGS AA-rated, cGMP facility in California.

  1. A technician in a white coat, hairnet, mask and gloves carries two clear bags of colonised substrate down an aisle of racked growing bags.

    Grown

    Organically grown in California, in our own clean rooms, on organic oats we prepare ourselves.

  2. Close view of slender orange fruiting bodies standing up from a fully colonised block against a deep blue background.

    Harvested

    Fruiting body and mycelium, harvested at their peak and processed in the same facility they were grown in, to lock in as much of their effectiveness as possible.

  3. A clean lab bench with a metals-testing instrument open, more instruments further down the counter.

    Tested

    Every batch is tested on-site in our own laboratory, and again by a third party, for what’s in it and what isn’t.

Full Spectrum Mushrooms are:

What you see.

The fruiting body.

What you don’t.

The mycelium.

The fruiting body and mycelium have different bioactives. Full Spectrum supplements provide the complete benefits of the mushroom.

We grow our Om.

From spore to shelf

  1. The oats

    Organic, gluten-free and whole. Every delivery arrives with a certificate of compliance, and we inspect every load.

  2. The grow

    Each species in its own conditions, with the temperature, air and light set for it. The mycelium feeds on the oats as it grows.

  3. The harvest

    Our mycology team picks the moment: once the mycelium has worked through the oats.

  4. The mill

    Dried and milled into powder, in the same facility it was grown in.

  5. The test

    Every batch, on-site in our own laboratory and again by a third party, for what’s in it and what isn’t.

  6. On your shelf.

Immersed in

immune benefits

Mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years because of their many functional superfood benefits, specifically for the immune system. In fact, in many cultures, your plate isn’t considered complete without mushrooms.
Mushrooms contain two important, immune-boosting compounds: beta-glucans and prebiotics.

Built-in Beta-Glucans

Beta-glucans help activate and potentiate the immune system. Sandra described them as a “key in a lock” — activating your immune system to be battle-ready. All mushrooms contain these important molecules.

The Power of Prebiotics

In addition to beta-glucans, mushrooms act as a prebiotic, or food for probiotics. With new studies emerging on the connection between gut health and brain health, probiotics play a crucial role in overall wellness.

Get the Most out of mushrooms

In order to get the best results, it’s important to follow a routine with mushroom products, whether taking capsules, powders or superfood mushroom blends. Steve recommends doubling up the recommended dose for the first few weeks to accelerate the benefits. Sandra incorporates them into smoothies, and Steve drinks Lion’s Mane in his coffee and Energy sticks in the afternoon.

Mushroom Myths

We are here to clear things up and help you

  • Myth 1: Mushrooms are dangerous +
    Mushrooms have safely been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years for their healing properties. There are hundreds of species of mushrooms, and while it’s true that some mushrooms are poisonous or have psychotropic properties, that’s not the case for all of them.
  • Myth 2: Mushrooms’ only “super” power is culinary +
    Mushrooms are a functional superfood with many proven health benefits. There are many mushroom varieties, each with their own unique benefits ranging from immune support to cognitive health.
  • Myth 3: Mushroom products taste bad +
    Mushrooms do have an earthy taste, but no two species are exactly the same. Om develops its products to blend into your daily routine, whether that means flavorless capsules, powders to mix into food and drinks, a delicious flavored drink or a fruit-flavored gummy.
