About Mushroom
A generic 'mushroom' / 'organic mushroom' label without a named species. Value depends entirely on which mushroom is used (e.g. reishi, lion's mane, shiitake), so no species-specific clinical claim can be made. Resolves the name to avoid a false 'not in database' gap; grade low. If a specific species is listed, prefer that entry.
