Host Defense is a company built on a man’s pioneering research into the potential and health benefits of mushrooms. That visionary was Paul Stamets, a dedicated mycologist for more than 40 years, and he mainly focuses his research on mycelium mushroom that is growing below ground. A significant milestone that defined the company’s path was the discovery that “the mycelium is the immune system of the mushroom”. In other words, not only does it help support the human immune system, mushroom mycelium promotes the immunity and health of its natural habitat as well. It is, therefore, a cellular bridge that brings humans, plants, animals, trees, and bees closer to the ecosystem that supports them. Host Defense Mushrooms is dedicated to using the power of mushrooms to save the ecosystems and build a healthier world.
Besides a passionate mycologist, Paul Stamets, D. Sc (Hon.), is also the founder of Fungii Perfectii, a product of which is Host Defense Mushrooms. He has written 6 books, two of which are now being used as the mushroom industry bibles, and has received many honors and awards for his contribution to the science of ecology and health-promoting mushrooms, such as the:
Paul Stamets has also provided the field of functional and edible food mushroom cultivation with numerous pioneering techniques. He is now working with several different projects with non-profits and universities as a means to discover fungal solutions to world issues.
On a global scale, Host Defense has their undivided attention on partnering with doctors to help support health and immunity, as well as protect the natural environment and everything included in it. In doing so, the company invests in neutralizing or breaking down toxic waste using integrated mushroom technologies while promoting strategies to save honey bee using fungi and mushrooms.

The organization only uses the highest quality ingredients. Their products are certified organic and grown on their own farm in Washington State, USA. To ensure that the harvest of mushrooms is completely pure and free of contaminants, they follow organic growing conditions and make sure they maintain control over all processes (growing and harvesting) for their mushroom ingredients. At the same time, all wild species and their habitats are well protected, since Host Defense Mushrooms is particularly strict in regards to sustainably cultivating their mycelium and mushroom fruit bodies. Finally, they have devoted part of proceeds to saving rare mushroom strains that live and thrive in old-grown forests.
Mushrooms provide a wide range of health-promoting nutrients that are particularly beneficial to the human body. Besides keeping us strong and healthy, mushrooms can also help support our natural immunity, promote mental clarity, foster nervous system health, improve focus, and many more.

Alternatively, you could use any of the three Host Defense Mushrooms blends (see best-selling products section below) which offer robust immune support.
When it comes to toxicity levels, while there are none established for Host Defense Mushrooms products, it is recommended to take no more of the company’s MycoBotanicals products than the serving suggestion before speaking with your healthcare provider.
