What are "Functional" Mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms are effectively just more nutritious and supportive to your health than the average species of mushroom. With over 14,000 species studied today, they usually are characterized as either adaptogenic or medicinal. The overarching blanket term of those two distinctions is "functional," which is how you might find them today.

Are They Safe?

Yes! Functional mushrooms are entirely safe to use. Just make sure you find quality sources for your mushrooms, whether that's through a local store or online shop for powders, gummies, or raw mushrooms in bulk.

Are Functional Mushrooms Legal?

Yes! These aren't anything like the "magic" mushrooms you might have seen in movies. Functional mushrooms simply offer health and wellness support that naturally boosts your day without any psychedelics.

What Can I Expect Using Functional Mushrooms? 

Nutritional Boost

As a foundation piece for meal planning, functional mushrooms offer high nutritional value, first and foremost. You get a ton of necessary B vitamins in your diet, as well as other vitamins and minerals your body needs for a successful day.

The leaders in this area are Cordyceps and Lion's Mane. If you're unfamiliar with these or just want to learn more specific information about how mushrooms can impact your nutrition, check them out here!

Raw Energy

Getting raw energy is tough, and sometimes coffee just doesn't get the job done when you're trying to get going through the day. Functional mushrooms support you pushing through those difficult times during the day, and keep you on pace to manage your workflow effectively. Whether that's work at home, in the classroom, or the office, functional mushrooms can support your energy to push through any task.

Additionally, this energy can translate to supporting workout performance and recovery. For example, tossing functional mushroom powder into your protein shake or popping a gummy before you start your workout is a quick and easy way to get that support jumpstarted right into your routine. 

Sleep Support

Getting regular sleep is highly important to the productivity you get out of a full day. Fortunately, functional mushrooms like Reishi support these good habits and getting restful sleep more often.

Brain Health and Added Focus

Boosting brain health and giving quality support to your cognitive function is a primary focus of most mushroom nootropic blends. Not every single species of mushroom can be used to get that kind of support, but the majority of functional mushrooms have the vitamins and minerals to offer basic support in focusing up on your projects. 

Mushroom Gummies and Other Supplements

Raw Functional Mushrooms

Raw mushrooms are a good way to go if you're looking at adding in mushroom recipes to your diet and weekly meal planning routine. They're highly nutritious and good pairings with a variety of meat and veggie dishes.

However, they can get a bit expensive to acquire. Since the average grocery store won't carry them, chances are you're going to have a bit of difficulty getting them quickly. Additionally, their shelf life is limited. Some functional mushrooms are a bit larger than others, demanding larger fridge space. Take this into consideration when you're planning out your new meal plan.

Powder Supplements

Powder supplements are another solid option to get your mushroom kick started. Just tossing a scoop or two into a shake for your workout is a simple but effective way to have mushrooms boost into your day fast. They can also be flavored and highly-concentrated to get you that same support you're looking for faster, and without the bulk of having a fully-sized mushroom.

Although, powders still require prep time. You're going to have to add in some time to prepare a full shake for yourself or some kind of alternative beverage for your supplements. This can be a lot quicker than cooking, obviously, but there are still other routes to adding mushrooms to your diet with none of the hassle of meal prep.

Mushroom Gummies

Alternatively to having powders and raw functional mushrooms in your meal planning, gummies are the simplest route to get your body the support it needs from functional mushrooms. Luckily, you can get started today.

Troomy Nootropics has spent the better part of the last year crafting five gummy blends of functional mushrooms that target a variety of support properties.
