Your brain is working overtime right now.
Managing your to-do list. Planning dinner. Remembering that thing you need to do later.
No wonder mental fatigue feels like your default state.
But what if supporting your brain didn't require complicated protocols or expensive interventions? What if nature already created the solution thousands of years ago?
At Earth's Mushrooms, we focus on three mushrooms that provide natural support for brain health: Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and Reishi.
Each one supports your cognitive function differently. Together, they address the multiple demands your brain faces every single day.
Lion's Mane
Think of Lion's Mane as maintenance for your neural pathways.
This mushroom contains compounds called hericenones and erinacines that stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein your brain uses to grow, maintain, and repair neurons.¹
Translation? Lion's Mane helps your brain build and maintain the connections that support memory, learning, and cognitive performance.
Clinical studies back this up. Adults who consumed Lion's Mane extract regularly for several weeks experienced measurable improvements in cognitive function and mood.²
But Lion's Mane does more than support memory. It promotes brain plasticity, your brain's ability to adapt and form new connections throughout your entire life.
This matters whether you're learning new skills at 45 or maintaining mental sharpness at 75.
Cordyceps
Your brain is an energy hog.
It consumes about 20% of your body's oxygen despite being only 2% of your body weight. When oxygen delivery drops, so does your mental performance.
That's where Cordyceps comes in.
This mushroom increases oxygen uptake and improves blood flow throughout your body, including to your brain.³ Better oxygen delivery means your brain cells function more efficiently.
Cordyceps also boosts ATP production. ATP is your cells' energy currency, and higher levels translate directly to better physical and mental endurance.
Facing long work days? Creative projects? Mentally demanding situations? Cordyceps helps your brain maintain stamina when you need it most.
Reishi
Here's the problem with stress and focus: they're opposites.
When cortisol spikes, concentration plummets. Your scattered, anxious brain can't focus on complex tasks or retain new information effectively.
Reishi mushrooms help regulate your body's stress response. As a powerful adaptogen, Reishi helps lower cortisol levels without causing sedation or drowsiness.⁴
This creates the mental environment your brain needs for clear thinking. Less stress hormone interference means better access to your cognitive abilities.
Reishi also supports quality sleep, which is when your brain consolidates memories, clears metabolic waste, and repairs neural connections.
Better sleep tonight means sharper focus tomorrow.
Why These Three Work Better Together
Lion's Mane builds and repairs. Cordyceps fuels and energizes. Reishi calms and restores.
Separately, each mushroom provides valuable support. Together, they address the full spectrum of what your brain needs to perform at its best.
That's why our 5 Mushroom blend combines all three, plus Turkey Tail for immune support and Chaga for antioxidant protection.
One scoop delivers complete support for focus, energy, stress management, and overall cognitive wellness.
Make It Part of Your Routine
Add one scoop to your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or favorite smoothie.
The key is consistency. These natural compounds build up over time, providing increasingly noticeable benefits with regular use.
Most people report improvements in focus and energy within 2-3 weeks. By week six, better stress management and sleep quality become the new normal.
Your brain works hard for you every single day.
Give it the natural support it deserves.
