What they are is the mushroom's root system, known as mycelium, which is grown on grains like rice and oats and this grain cannot be separated from the final product. This residual grain contributes high levels of starch which in turn dilutes the potential for active compounds like beta-glucans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 2017 study from Nature on reishi supplements found that 74% of products were inauthentic with 68% containing starch-like polysaccharides (ie. fillers).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsumerLab also found similar results in their reishi report and found Real Mushrooms to be their #1 choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"18ke3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Chaga Mushroom Health Benefits are So Diverse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chemical composition of chaga was first studied by German-born chemist and pharmacist Johann Georg Noel Dragendorff in 1864.
