MUSHROOM M8 CAPSULES REVIEW BY DARCY - BIRCHER BAR FOUNDER & OWNER
What I Like:
Versatility - SuperFeast Mushroom M8 capsules contain a specially blended mixture of powdered medicinal mushroom extracts, ethically sourced from around the world. These powerful mushrooms work in combination to relieve inflammation, protect the body from stress, and boost the immune system.
Capsule Delivery - Not everyone who enjoys the benefits of mushrooms likes the way they taste. By making this potent combination of medicinal mushrooms available as a capsule product, SuperFeast have retained the awesome power of these tonic herbs in a form that goes down easy.
Sourcing and Packaging – Sourced using the ancient Di Dao philosophy, SuperFeast Mushroom M8 capsules are packed in the Miron glass you know and love to help preserve the potent quality of the herbs, and prevent any unwanted spills!
What I Think Could Be Improved:
Something to consider - as a blend of eight medicinal mushrooms, each one is not as potent as if taken as a single mushroom powder extract. While Mushroom M8 is a great "all-rounder", if you're looking for a specific benefit or greater potency from any of the tonic herbs, I'd recommend taking them separately.
In Summary:
Pros:
- A powerful blend that offers versatile health benefits.
- Packaged in capsules for easy consumption.
- Sourced and sold by one of the most ethically minded companies in the business.
Cons:
- Because this a blend of eight different mushrooms, the potency of each will not be as strong as when taken in isolation.

WHAT GOES INTO MUSHROOM M8 CAPSULES?
Like many herbs and natural substances, many varieties of fungi are beneficial for the human body. Medicinal mushrooms are simply varieties of mushrooms that work in the human body to produce a medicinal effect!
Mushroom M8 capsules contain the following:
- Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinesis, Grifola frondosa, Lentinula edodes, Trametes versicolor, Polyporus umbellatus, Tremella fuciformis, Wolfporia cocos.
Many of these mushrooms have been used in Eastern medicine for centuries and are especially known for mitigating stress. They also aid the body in a variety of other ways, from protecting vital organs and bones to improving sleep and boosting the immune system.
Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum)
Dubbed “The Mushroom of Immortality,” reishi has strong anti-ageing properties and is known for stimulating the immune system. It tends to have a bitter and potent taste, so the ability to take these powerful mushrooms in capsule form is a bonus for sensitive palates.
SuperFeast only uses red reishi, but it is available in five other colours. The mushroom grows on wild oak trees, and SuperFeast respects the ancient manner of harvesting the mushroom from its natural growing places.
Reishi mushrooms are also used to help calm and relax the body in preparation for sleep and may be used to treat insomnia.

Cordyceps Mushroom (Cordyceps sinensis)
Cordyceps is a fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine to increase energy and enhance the body’s performance. SuperFeast's cordyceps is harvested from a cultivated strain of the mushroom called CS-4 as wild cordyceps is super rare and expensive to get your hands on.
Cordyceps has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has long been used as a tonic for the lungs and kidneys. It is also an adaptogen, meaning it can reduce stress and balance the body’s internal functions.
Maitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa)
Maitake is another adaptogenic mushroom. It helps the body fight against physical and mental stress. Maitake mushrooms can be cultivated at home but grow better in the wild. They can be found at the base of certain deciduous trees, including elm, maple, and oak.
Maitake mushrooms are packed with healthy substances and nutrients, including:
- Amino acids
- Antioxidants
- B Vitamins
- Vitamin C
- Beta-glucans
Maitake mushrooms also are rich in minerals, including copper and potassium, and have plenty of natural fibre. They are fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in sodium and calories.
The other awesome mushrooms included:
- Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinula edodes) - anti-viral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory; shiitake mushroom may even help with heart health and bone density.
- Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor) - a potent mushroom for immunity, also known for its ability to support bone health, tone the liver and improve gut health.
- Zhu Ling (Polyporus umbellatus) - boasts immunostimulating and hepatoprotective properties (i.e. it’s good for your liver).
- Tremella Mushroom (Tremella fuciformis) - filled with antioxidants, this fungus also encourages the body to produce its own antioxidants.
- Poria (Wolfiporia cocos) - used to improve memory, decrease anxiety and fatigue, and reduce inflammation.

FAQs:
What are medicinal mushrooms?:
Medicinal mushrooms are a special type of fungi that are scientifically shown to have a wide range of benefits in the human body. From bringing balance and restoration to your immune system, boosting oxygen flow and enhancing your creative and mental acumen to regulating your blood sugar, reducing your stress levels and improving your quality of sleep, there’s almost nothing medicinal fungi can’t do.
Can I mix herbs together?:
Yep! Each SuperFeast tonic herb has different benefits and ways in which they aid the body and so, in this regard, they are well suited to be taken in combinations that align with your individual needs.
When will I start to see results?:
There is no cut and dry answer for this question as everybody is unique. Some people may feel benefits immediately while for others it may take a couple of weeks to a month before they feel the shifts within their body. The most important thing with medicinal mushrooms is longevity and consistency as their potent medicinal benefits accumulate over time. SuperFeast recommends taking one or more of their products regularly for at least 30-100 days to really allow them to unfold in your system.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) SuperFeast Mason’s Mushrooms
An eight-mushroom super-blend, also offered by SuperFeast, made to support immunity, gut health, hormonal function and the nervous system. Mason's Mushrooms comes in powdered form, so it might not be best for first-timers - although SuperFeast does have some awesome recipes to help with the taste!

2) Teelixir Mushroom Immunity 8 Extract Blend
Teelixir is another one of my favourite suppliers of medicinal mushrooms. Their Mushroom Immunity Blend supports the immune system, increases energy levels, strengthens the mind and helps the body deal with stress. While this is still an 8-mushroom blend, Teelixir has swapped in a few different species, offering different benefits & flavour.
