About Mycology Research Labs

Founded in 1997, Mycology Research Laboratories Ltd. (MRL) manufactures dietary supplements using proprietary Japanese production technology to develop functional mushroom nutrition products. Headquartered in the UK with cultivation facilities in California, MRL adheres to quality standards set by the California Organic Food Act of 1990. The company selects stable, bioactive mushroom strains and cultivates them on certified organic, contamination-free substrates to ensure purity and maximize health benefits.

Rather than extracts, MRL includes the young fruit body, mycelium, and primordia of mushrooms like Coriolus versicolor, Ganoderma lucidum, Grifola frondosa, Cordyceps sinensis, and Lentinula edodes. The freshly cultivated biomass is dried, powdered, and tableted per GMP food-grade regulations in California or the Netherlands. Extensive quality testing checks for bacteria, fungi, heavy metals, and other contaminants that mushrooms can absorb from their environment during cultivation.

Best-selling immuno-boosting MRL products include Turkey Tail capsules to improve immune function and prevent colds, Triton to combat fatigue, Maitake to lower cholesterol and provide antioxidants, and Reishi to potentially aid prostate and breast health while alleviating hepatitis symptoms. All formulas feature whole mushroom ingredients rather than extracts to deliver nutritional and bioactive benefits traditional Chinese medicine has long recognized.
