If you prefer taking your Lion’s Mane with water, capsules make the routine straightforward.
Each capsule contains 300 mg of extract. The labelled two-capsule daily amount provides 600 mg, without weighing a scoop.
No powder to stir into coffee, blend into a smoothie or add to food. Take your capsules with water and get on with your morning.
Choose 30 or 60 daily servings. The larger bottle means fewer reorders and a lower price per serving at the listed prices.
Compare the mushroom ingredient, the process and the cost of your daily routine. Here’s what you get with Xotic.

| What matters | Xotic capsules | What to check in other capsules |
|---|---|---|
| Growing origin | Our own farm in Thomastown, Victoria. | Check where the mushrooms are grown, not just where they are packed. |
| Mushroom ingredient | Fruiting-body extract, with no added grain, starch or mycelium. | Check whether the formula uses fruiting body, mycelium or a blend. |
| Processing | Freeze-dried, then dual-extracted to make a 10:1 extract. | Check whether it is whole mushroom powder or an extract. |
| Testing & research | Read our COAs and published food-science study → | Look for accessible reports that identify the tested sample and study scope. |

Xotic Mushrooms is led by founder and head cultivator Jaz Konig. We grow our Lion’s Mane in Thomastown, Melbourne, Australia, on Tasmanian oak hardwood sawdust and Australian soya husk (Master’s Mix).
Our controlled growing rooms give us a hands-on view of each stage, from cultivation through to hand harvesting. The fruiting bodies are then freeze-dried and processed into extract using our published production process.
Choosing a mushroom product should include understanding where it comes from. We share our farm, process and testing record so you can look beyond the front of the bottle.
At Kennaook / Cape Grim in north-west Tasmania, winds arriving across the Southern Ocean bring exceptionally clean air. The Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO use this remote location to monitor the atmosphere.

Researchers have examined our powder under a scanning electron microscope, looking at its structure at a scale that ordinary photographs cannot show.
RMIT researchers completed MALDI mass spectrometry profiling in February 2024. This laboratory technique helps investigate a sample’s chemical composition.
Reference standards are being developed with RMIT under a research agreement. This work is still in progress, so we do not claim a measured hericenone level for these capsules.

Researchers freeze-dried and milled Lion’s Mane supplied by our Melbourne farm, then studied its composition and use in oat-based desserts. Xotic is named in the materials section and acknowledgments.
The work examined nutritional properties, particle size, texture and food formulation. It was a food science study, not a clinical trial of these capsules, and does not establish a health outcome from taking this product.

Beta-glucans are one group within total polysaccharides. A beta-glucan result is a separate measurement from an extraction ratio such as 10:1. We direct you to the report and method when comparing results.
The published RMIT result covers E. coli and coliforms in the tested powder sample. It does not establish that every possible microorganism was tested or that every capsule batch has the same result.
The Symbio COA above documents one submitted sample. Our published roadmap includes wider per-batch reporting and pesticide screening; pesticides are listed as not yet tested. Hericenone reference standards are also in progress.

The 60-capsule bottle provides 30 days at two capsules daily. The 120-capsule bottle provides 60 days at the same daily amount. Both sizes have the same 300 mg strength per capsule.
At the current bottle prices, 60 capsules cost $59, or approximately $1.97 per day. 120 capsules cost $99, or approximately $1.65 per day. The larger bottle saves $19 compared with buying two 60-capsule bottles. These calculations exclude shipping and use the labelled direction of two capsules daily.
We grow our Lion’s Mane at the Xotic Mushrooms farm in Thomastown, Victoria, on Tasmanian oak hardwood sawdust and Australian soya husk (Master’s Mix). Our published farm process covers cultivation, hand harvesting, freeze-drying and extraction. Meet the farm and see the process.
The mushroom ingredient is made from Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies. The ingredient list does not include mycelium, grain or starch fillers. The cellulose shell is a separate ingredient and is included in the full ingredient list.
The capsule label identifies the product as vegan, gluten free, dairy free and non-GMO. The capsule shell is cellulose. If you have an allergy or a particular dietary requirement, read the full label and contact us before ordering.
10:1 describes the ratio of starting mushroom material to the resulting extract. It is not a promise of ten times the benefit and does not, by itself, establish the level of beta-glucans or other compounds. The amount of actual extract in each capsule is 300 mg.
Our published process uses hot water and ethanol as extraction solvents to obtain different fractions from the mushroom material. The capsule contains the finished extract powder. An extraction method alone does not prove a health outcome or provide a complete compound profile.
Symbio Laboratories reported 32.2 g/100 g (32.2%) for a submitted Lion’s Mane fruiting body freeze-dried extract powder blend with 1% black pepper extract (BioPerine).

We cultivate Lion’s Mane on Tasmanian oak hardwood sawdust and Australian soya husk, known as Master’s Mix. This is the material the mushrooms grow on. We harvest the fruiting bodies for processing into extract.
Our published research record covers microscopy, MALDI compound profiling, microbial screening and work towards hericenone reference standards. Xotic’s fresh mushrooms were also used in a 2025 food science study of oat-based desserts. See the research details. This work does not establish clinical results for these capsules.
The customer reviews shown here were originally submitted for our extract powder and fresh mushrooms. Each review identifies the product purchased. The chef posts are from our homepage’s culinary community section. They introduce the people and customer experiences around Xotic, rather than capsule-specific reviews or endorsements.
There is no reliable timeline we can promise. Lion’s Mane research is still developing, and studies using other preparations do not establish the results of this finished capsule product. Individual experiences vary.
Speak with a qualified healthcare professional before use if you take medicines, have a health condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use if you have a known mushroom allergy. Keep the bottle out of reach of children.
Keep it securely closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Follow the storage directions, batch information and expiry date on your bottle.
