Mycelium vs. Fruiting Body
When choosing our organic mushrooms, we select the most nutrient dense parts of the whole mushroom in our products to tailor our formulations to meet the specific goals of each product.
Mycelium
Mycelium is the main nutrient-absorbing structure of the fungus. It breaks down complex organic compounds into simpler forms that the fungus can absorb and use for growth.
Fruiting Body
The primary function of the fruit body is to produce and disperse spores, the reproductive units of fungi. Spores are released into the environment to colonize new substrates and continue the life cycle of the fungus.
Proven Research
Our Mind Bloom product containing, GC Sage™, is clinically proven to enhance focus in as little as 10 minutes. Green Compass is continuing to conduct clinical trials on Mind Bloom to further validate it's efficacy.
Certificate of Analysis
We provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) because we care what you put in your body and know the importance of third-party validation.
Both Immune Bloom and Mind Bloom come with a CoA from one of the best third-party labs in the country, showing complete visibility into the quality of the products.
Additionally, unlike other functional mushroom products, we've included the Megazyme test to guarantee that you're getting real USA-grown organic mushrooms, free of grain fillers, pesticides, metals, solvents, or mycotoxins.
Environmental Impact
We respect Mother Earth's resources and find ways to use them to serve our community without compromising the health of our environment. Mushrooms are one of nature's most sustainably produced resources and are beneficial to the environment.

There is only one very small farm in the world where GC Sage™ is grown as it is dependent on the climate and soil. This is no ordinary sage due to its exceptionally high levels of polyphenolic compounds and rosmarinic acid. We branded it GC Sage™ and locked up 100% of the supply in an exclusive partnership.
What are functional mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms are a distinct group of edible fungi known for their unique health benefits. These mushrooms aren't the same fungi used as hallucinogens.

Growing the best and safest functional mushrooms is a complicated process and is perfected over years. We scoured the globe until we found a farm we could trust to meet our lofty standards (USA Grown, FDA Registered, USDA Organic Certified, with NO grain fillers, pesticides, metals, solvents or mycotoxins). But we didn't stop there: we have partnered with this farm to hand select the most nutrient-dense mushrooms which are supplied exclusively to Green Compass.

What does it mean that lion's mane is "full spectrum"?
Our lion's mane organic functional mushroom product is described as "full spectrum," because the mushroom includes all the different stages and components of the mushroom's life cycle.
With lion's mane being full-spectrum, it includes the complete range of beneficial compounds that the mushroom has to offer, rather than isolating just one part or compound and creates the most nutrient dense end product.
What are beta-glucans?
Beta-Glucans are a type of polysaccharide - a long chain of glucose molecules - which are found in the cell walls of the mushrooms and are known for supporting the immune system.
Beta-glucans trick your immune system into thinking it is under attack. When the beta-glucans bind to the receptors, various immune cells are activated, boosting their effectiveness at identifying and eliminating potential threats like bacteria and viruses.
