Hey Friend! Let's Find Your Perfect Mushroom
So you're curious about functional mushrooms? Awesome! Pull up a chair (virtually speaking) and let's figure out which one's right for you. No overwhelming science stuff - just real talk about what these mushrooms can do to support your wellness.
Quick Intro - Who We Are
We're Performance Fungi, and we're kind of obsessed with mushrooms (in the best way). Everything we extract is 100% US-grown, from substrate to bottle. No shortcuts, no grains, no fillers, just pure mushroom extracts that actually work.
But enough about us - let's talk about YOU!
"So... What Brings You Here Today?"
We get it - there are SO many mushrooms to choose from. Instead of overwhelming you with all the science stuff, let's start simple. What are you hoping to support?
🧠 "I'm Looking for Focus Support"
Meet Lion's Mane - Your Brain's New BFF
Lion's Mane is incredible for supporting cognitive function and mental clarity. Our customers tell us they love it for:
- Morning focus (goodbye, brain fog!)
- Supporting memory and concentration
- That "sharp" feeling during important tasks
Real talk: It looks like a fuzzy white pom-pom. Nature's weird and we love it.
⚡ "I Need Something for Energy"
Say Hello to Cordyceps - Nature's Energy Support
This one's special. Cordyceps supports your body's natural energy production at the cellular level. No crashes, no jitters. Our athletic customers swear by it, but honestly? It's great for anyone who wants to:
- Support their workouts
- Maintain steady energy all day
- Feel more "alive" without the coffee shakes
Fun story: A marathon runner told us Cordyceps changed her training game!
😌 "I'm Stressed and Need to Chill"
Reishi Is Your Relaxation Buddy
We call Reishi the "chill pill" of mushrooms (but it's not a pill, and definitely not a drug!). It helps promote relaxation and supports your body during occasional stress. Perfect for:
- Unwinding after crazy days
- Supporting emotional balance
- Better evening routines
Pro tip from us: Mix it in chamomile tea before bed. You're welcome.
🛡️ "I Just Want to Feel Good Overall"
The Wellness Squad: Turkey Tail, Maitake & Shiitake
These three are like your immune system's support team! They help maintain immune function and overall wellness. Our regulars grab these for:
- Seasonal support
- General wellness maintenance
- Feeling their best year-round
Shiitake secret: It has this amazing umami-garlic flavor. Some folks literally cook with our tincture!
✨ "I Can't Decide - Give Me Your Best All-Rounder"
Chaga - The Do-Everything Mushroom
If you're overwhelmed (totally normal!), start here. Chaga is loaded with antioxidants and supports overall wellness. It's like the multivitamin of mushrooms - good for pretty much everyone.
"Okay, But How Do I Actually Take These?"
Great question! We keep it simple with two options:
Tinctures (available for all our mushrooms):
- Just squeeze a dropper into anything you're drinking
- Optional: Take it straight! The flavor is strong, it's concentrated!
- Coffee? Yes. Smoothie? Yep. Straight up? Sure!
- Works fast, easy to control your serving
- Superior bio-availability to powders (Your body can actually use it!)
- Travels well, lasts long
Freeze-Dried Concentrate (Lion's Mane only!):
- This is our newest baby - super concentrated powder
- Dissolves instantly in any liquid
- Pro tip: It can clump a bit with moisture (totally normal!), so we include a little scooper to break it up
- 45 servings per container - incredible value
- Perfect if you're a daily Lion's Mane person

The 3 Big Reasons to Choose Performance Fungi
(Or: Why We're Not Selling Expensive Tinted Water)
Look, we'll be straight with you - not all mushroom products are created equal. Here's what makes ours actually work:
1. 🍄 We Use the WHOLE Fruiting Body
The fruiting body is the actual mushroom part - you know, the part that looks like a mushroom! Many companies use mycelium (the root system) grown on grain because it's cheaper. But here's the thing: the fruiting body has WAY more of the good stuff. It's like eating an orange vs. sucking on the roots of an orange tree. Which one sounds better?
2. 🔬 Dual Extraction = Getting ALL the Benefits
Some beneficial compounds dissolve in water, others only in alcohol. If you just do one or the other, you're leaving half the good stuff behind! Our dual extraction process uses both, so you get:
- Water-soluble compounds (like beta-glucans for immune support)
- Alcohol-soluble compounds (like triterpenes for other benefits)
- Everything your mushroom has to offer in one bottle
Think of it like making both tea AND tincture from the same mushroom, then combining them. That's dedication to potency!
3. 🇺🇸 100% US-Grown (Yes, Even the Substrate!)
Most "US-grown" Shiitake mushrooms? They start their life in China. The substrate (what mushrooms grow on) is made overseas, shipped here, then companies slap a "US-grown" label on it. Not us. From the very first spore to the final product, everything happens right here. Better quality control, supporting local agriculture, and honestly? We sleep better at night knowing exactly where everything comes from, and we've set foot in almost every grow room our partners have to offer.
The Fine Print (We Have To)
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
