Mushroom supplements are taking over the natural health remedy world with full force, and one company is particularly standing out. 

Nammex, a leader in the organic mushroom extract industry, recently announced the staggering production of over 66,000 pounds of high-quality dried mushrooms. This achievement isn’t just a number but a significant step towards sustainability and quality in medicinal mushrooms. 

Medicinal mushrooms are celebrated for their diverse health benefits, from immune-boosting to cognitive-enhancing effects. With an escalating Western demand for medicinal mushrooms, especially the Turkey tail variety, ecosystems these mushrooms call home become threatened. Nammex’s answer? Shifting to using their own farms and greenhouses, ensuring every mushroom is grown under ideal conditions to guarantee potency, purity, and environmental integrity. 

In the past year, Nammex had an impressive yield of mushroom varieties, including:

• Chaga
• Cordyceps
• Lion’s mane
• Maitake
• Phellinus
• Polyporus
• Poria
• Oyster
• Reishi
• Tremella
• Turkey tail
• Shiitake

But Nammex isn’t stopping with a mere 66,000 pounds—the company wants to ramp up production to over 440,000 pounds annually, offering a wide variety and availability of potent mushroom extracts. 

Behind Nammex’s success is Skye Chilton, who founded the company in 1993 with a clear mission: to deliver the finest quality organic mushroom extracts globally.

By forging strong partnerships with certified organic mushroom growers, primarily in China—which supplies ~85% of medicinal organic mushrooms—Nammex assures that every mushroom extract it produces meets the highest quality and ethical sourcing standards.

Nammex takes on a natural approach to mushroom cultivation, utilizing materials like wood chips or logs in greenhouses with natural light and airflow. 

This method steers clear of sterile laboratory conditions, favoring a more traditional, farm-like environment.

Wondering if you can snag some Nammex mushrooms straight from their site? It’s not quite the straightforward shopping spree you might expect. 

Nammex sets a high bar for purchasing their premium mushroom extract products, requiring customers to navigate through a detailed application process. Here’s the rundown:

1. You must have an officially registered business with an active, operational website (sites under construction or inactive won’t make the cut).
2. You’ll need to provide two trade references or supplier invoices related to your business, proving your established credibility.
3. Orders must hit the $1,000 USD mark at a minimum.

So, getting your hands on these potent and pure fungi extracts may not be a walk in the park.
