Hericium (Hericium erinaceus) – the bearded tooth mushroom is notable for its long, hanging spines. This edible mushroom grows on wood and is valued as an edible mushroom in various countries.
Its natural ingredients include different compounds depending on the raw material. The ingredients studied include various polysaccharides and certain aromatic groups of substances, including hericenones. Powders and extracts differ in the way they are processed.
Fungi form their own biological group of organisms and are neither plants nor animals. Their cell walls contain chitin and various polysaccharides, among other things, while their fruiting bodies form spores under suitable conditions. A mushroom powder retains a different spectrum of ingredients from a selectively produced extract.
A look at the raw material form used reveals further special features. Anyone who deliberately prefers a non-standardised mushroom powder to a concentrated extract will find the right hericium variant here.
