Before you choose
Your questions, answered.
What is in the powder?
100% Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) fruiting body extract. It is a 10:1 extract with no added grain, starch or mycelium.
How much powder should I use?
Use a measured 1 g serving, as on the new pouch. Mix into coffee, tea, a smoothie or food. Use suitable scales for accuracy and follow your pack’s directions.
How many servings are in each pack?
At 1 g per serving: 50 g contains 50 servings; 75 g contains 75; 150 g contains 150; 300 g contains 300; and 1.2 kg contains 1,200. Choose a pack you can use within its expiry date.
Which powder pack offers better value?
The 75 g pouch costs $85, about $1.13 per serving. The 300 g pack costs $279, about $0.93 per serving, saving $61 compared with four 75 g pouches. The 1.2 kg pack costs $990, about $0.83 per serving. All prices are AUD and exclude shipping.
Where is the Lion’s Mane grown?
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.
Does the powder contain fruiting bodies or mycelium?
The mushroom ingredient is made from Lion’s Mane fruiting bodies. There is no added mycelium, grain or starch filler in the extract.
Is the powder vegan?
The powder contains mushroom fruiting body extract with no capsule shell. Read the full pack label and contact us before ordering if you have allergies or particular dietary requirements.
What does 10:1 extract mean?
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 powder serving is 1 g.
What is dual extraction?
Our published process uses hot water and ethanol as extraction solvents to obtain different fractions from the mushroom material. The powder contains the finished extract powder. An extraction method alone does not prove a health outcome or provide a complete compound profile.
What does the 32.2% beta-glucan result cover?
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). Certificate S2162602 [R01] was issued on 13 May 2026. The result applies to that powder blend; it is not a measurement of every finished powder batch. View the complete COA.
Is the powder independently tested?
Our laboratory records cover submitted powder samples, including the May 2026 Symbio COA, November 2024 AEGIC analysis and April 2025 RMIT microbiology screening. Ask us about documentation for the powder product and batch you are ordering. See the reports, sample details and testing scope.
What is the growing substrate?
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.
What research does Xotic do with RMIT?
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 this powder.
What products do the reviews and chef posts cover?
The 2026 reviews identify their original products: 12:1 extract powder and fresh Lion’s Mane. Chef posts come from our culinary community and are about their experiences with Xotic mushrooms; they are not endorsements of this finished powder.
How soon will I notice a difference?
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 powder product. Individual experiences vary.
Can I take these with medicines?
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 pouch out of reach of children.
How should I store the pouch?
Keep it securely closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Follow the storage directions, batch information and expiry date on your pouch.
How do the powder savings work?
Larger powder packs have a lower cost per gram at the listed prices. Our 300 g pack saves $61 against four 75 g pouches; the 1.2 kg pack saves $370 against sixteen 75 g pouches. These savings are already included in the price. Buy one 75 g or 150 g pack and add two more at 30% off each; the saving applies automatically in your cart.
Is this a subscription?
It’s your choice. Buy once, or choose Subscribe & save on a 75 g or 150 g pack for 15% off, delivered every 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. You can pause, skip or cancel anytime. The extra-pack offer applies to one-time orders.
Do you offer international express shipping?
Yes. Express shipping is available to the USA, Canada, the UK and Singapore. Enter your address at checkout to see the available delivery options and rates. For other destinations, contact the Xotic team.
