Most people shopping for mushrooms online are just guessing. You read a label on a screen, hope it’s the real thing, and find out later. We do it the other way. Walk into our Crossroads shop on Southwest Blvd, look at the actual product, and ask a person before you buy. We carry lion’s mane and reishi in a few easy formats, and we’re open late if the daytime never works for you.
Lion’s mane and reishi belong to a group people call functional mushrooms. You might also hear them called culinary or everyday mushrooms. They have been part of food and tea traditions for a very long time.
Here’s the part worth saying straight. These are not the mushrooms that get you high. Lion’s mane and reishi are not psychedelic. There’s no trip and no buzz. They sit a lot closer to something in your kitchen or a cup of tea than anything else. If you’ve seen other mushroom products out there and weren’t sure what was what, that’s the difference.

Lion’s mane is a white, shaggy mushroom. It gets the name because it looks a bit like a lion’s mane. In cooking, some people say the texture reminds them of seafood. It’s known by its scientific name, Hericium erinaceus.
Reishi is a firm, woody mushroom with a reddish color. It’s not eaten whole the way a food mushroom is. It usually shows up in teas and extracts. Its scientific name is Ganoderma lucidum.
We keep both in stock. Our inventory rotates, so stop in to see what’s on the shelf today.
We carry lion’s mane and reishi in three formats. Here’s how they differ, so you can pick what fits you
Not sure which one makes sense for you? That’s what our staff is for. Walk in and ask. We’d rather point you to the right format than sell you the wrong one.
We think you should know what you’re buying before you buy it. When you come in, you can read the label yourself. A few things are worth checking on any mushroom product, here or anywhere.
If any of that is confusing, ask us. We’ll walk through the label with you.
Functional mushrooms aren’t a one-and-done thing. Most people who use them take them daily over time, not all at once. So there’s no rush.
Read the label, take the amount it lists, and go from there.
