"The Heart of Our Harvest: Why Sourcing Matters"
For millennia, China has harnessed the power of medicinal mushrooms, deeply ingrained in Eastern traditions. However, as the West catches up and embraces the benefits, a concerning trend has emerged in Australia. The market is inundated with mycelium on grain products, devoid of actual mushrooms, marketed as full-spectrum solutions with questionable health benefits. To clarify, while grain primarily contains alpha-glucans, fruiting bodies consist of beta-glucans, representing a stark contrast in terms of medicinal benefits. This widespread adoption of such practices is a major concern for individuals in search of genuine and impactful medicinal mushroom products.
In the rush to discredit Eastern traditions and then imitate mushroom products, Australia has become a breeding ground for marketing companies advocating mycelium on grain, often leaving consumers with products devoid of the actual mushrooms that carry potent health benefits. The confusion and misinformation surrounding the quality of these offerings pose a significant challenge for individuals genuinely seeking the therapeutic advantages of medicinal mushrooms. The health-conscious consumer is left in a dilemma, grappling with subpar options and questionable practices.

Spiritual Homeland of Mushrooms – Di Dao
Sourcing our medicinal mushrooms from their spiritual homeland – China) is rooted in the profound philosophy of Taoism, known as Di Dao. Di Dao, meaning the ‘way of the Earth,’ guides us to harvest medicinal mushrooms where their true essence thrives. This approach, honoring the ancient Chinese medicine tradition, ensures a full-spectrum and medicinally robust product.
The symbiotic relationship cultivated during the growth cycle of mushrooms in the Di Dao location, intertwining with the atmosphere, bacteria, insects, mycelium, tree networks, and stars, has been observed and cherished over centuries. We believe it deserves utmost respect, acknowledgment, and conservation by those who understand it best.
Di Dao represents the pinnacle of quality for mushrooms and herbs in China, embodying the core sourcing philosophy we uphold at OMG Mushrooms. As a professional mycotherapist, we embrace Di Dao to provide you with medicinal mushrooms of the highest caliber, a product rooted in tradition and nurtured by the wisdom of ancient practices.

Peace of Mind
Medicinal Mushrooms
In the realm of Mycotherapy, each mushroom species is uniquely influenced by the interplay of seasonality and location. In our present landscape, only Chaga and Turkey Tail have the privilege of thriving in the untouched beauty of the pristine forest. These mushrooms are meticulously wild-grown and thoughtfully harvested from the Heilongjiang forest and Daxinganling mountains.
Meanwhile, our Maitake, Shiitake, Reishi, and Lion’s Mane undergo ethical cultivation within specially designed sheltered greenhouses in their native Fujian and Zhejiang province. These fungi flourish on sterilised sawdust crafted from traditional native timbers like Beech, coupled with organic rice powder, rice grain, and hardwood chips. Upon reaching maturity, these mushrooms are tenderly hand-harvested and journey to the laboratory for a comprehensive process of testing (including metals), drying, and milling.
Gourmet Mushrooms
OMG Mushrooms also grows gourmet King Oyster, Oyster mushrooms for the local market and Reishi and Lion’s Mane for their ‘Adaptogenic Mushroom Honey’ range.
