Key Benefits
Longevity Antioxidant
Highest ergothioneine of any Oyster species — transported into human mitochondria via dedicated OCTN1 transporter
Cognitive Defense
Low plasma ergothioneine linked to Parkinson's and MCI; 50% lower cognitive impairment odds with weekly consumption (2020 RCT)
Cholesterol Control
Mevinolin (natural lovastatin analog) reduces LDL through the same mechanism as pharmaceutical statins
Immune Support
Beta-glucan polysaccharides and B-vitamin complex support immune function and cellular energy metabolism
Sunlight in mushroom form — and the Oyster species with the highest ergothioneine content. Ergothioneine is a potent antioxidant synthesized only by fungi and certain bacteria; it concentrates in human mitochondria and protects against oxidative damage linked to aging and neurodegeneration. Pleurotus citrinopileatus also contains mevinolin (a natural lovastatin analog) for cholesterol balance.
Culture Bank — 10cc of lab-isolated mycelium in nutrient broth, selected for vivid golden-yellow coloration and tight, ruffled cluster formation. Colonizes grain in 5–10 days. Requires strong fresh air exchange — CO2 buildup causes long stems and small caps. Fruit at 64–77°F with 85–90% humidity.
Each packet: 10cc syringe · 16G sterile needle · alcohol prep swab · shrooms instruction card. Refrigerate upon arrival. Viable up to 2 months refrigerated.
