Welcome to Fungalco — a weekly newsletter cutting through the noise in the mushroom supplement industry. No fluff. No hype. Just honest breakdowns of what works, what doesn't, and what's worth your money.

Let's get into it.

🏆 THIS WEEK'S PICK

Real Mushrooms Lion's Mane — $37 for 120 capsules

100% fruiting body, no grain filler, beta-glucans verified at 25%+. They publish their lab results publicly which almost no other brand does. At 31 cents a day it's the best value in the space right now.

🚩 ONE TO SKIP

Any lion's mane listing "mycelium on grain" in the ingredients. That means it's mostly grain starch with a fraction of actual mushroom. You'll find several dominating Amazon search results with tens of thousands of reviews. Pretty packaging, minimal effect.

📰 INTERESTING THIS WEEK

A 2024 study found lion's mane improved mild cognitive function in adults over 50 after 12 weeks of daily use. The effective dose was 1.8 grams per day. Most gummies on the market contain less than 10% of that. Dose matters more than brand name.

💰 DEAL ALERT

Om Mushrooms Lion's Mane — 90 capsules for around $25 on Amazon right now. Solid quality for the price. Good entry point if you want to try lion's mane without spending $40.

🔬 QUICK TIP

Take lion's mane in the morning with food. It supports focus not sleep. Most people take it at the wrong time and wonder why they don't feel anything. Give it 3 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use before judging results.
