PM Mushroom Tonic 30 Serves: what you are buying
Three named mushroom extracts, one set dose, and a tin that lives next to the kettle.
Three Mushrooms, One Serve.
A half-teaspoon carries 416mg each of three 10:1 mushroom extracts: Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail. That is 1,248mg per 1.25g serve, with every species and dose printed on the label.
Evening Drink. Unflavoured.
Unflavoured powder with no sweetener, colour or flavouring. Stir half a teaspoon into hot water, tea or a hot chocolate after dinner. Slightly earthy, near undetectable in a hot drink.
Thirty Serves A Tin.
Thirty half-teaspoon serves per tin, so one tin covers a month at one serve a day. That works out to $1.33 a serve, and the serving spoon and metal storage tin come in the box.
What is in each serve
Three mushroom extracts at 10:1, 416mg each per half-teaspoon (1.25g) serve: Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) and Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor). No other ingredients are listed. No sweetener, colour or flavouring.

How To Take It
Half a teaspoon, stirred into an evening drink. That is the entire routine.
- Half A Teaspoon, Evening. Use the serving spoon that comes in the tin. One level half-teaspoon is one serve. The label suggests having it with an afternoon snack or with dinner.
- Stir Into Something Hot. Stir the powder into a hot drink until it disappears. It is unflavoured and slightly earthy, so most people do not notice it in tea or hot chocolate. Smoothies work too.
- One Tin, One Month. One serve a day empties the tin in thirty days. Keep the powder in its paper bag inside the tin with the lid on, away from the steam of the kettle.

Common questions
What do the mushrooms do?
We do not make health claims for this, and you should be wary of anyone who does. It is a food: three named mushroom extracts at a stated dose. What they are and how much is in each serve is on the label, and that is what you are paying for.
How much do I take, and when?
One level half-teaspoon (1.25g), once a day, stirred into a drink. "PM" is when you take it: the label suggests with an afternoon snack or with dinner. Use the spoon that comes in the tin.
What does it taste like?
Slightly earthy with a hint of nuttiness. In water you notice it; in tea, coffee or a hot chocolate reviewers describe it as close to tasteless, or a bit like cacao.
Is there any sugar or sweetener in it?
No. It is mushroom extract powder and nothing else. No sweetener, no colour, no flavouring, no caffeine listed. Whatever you stir it into decides the sugar.
Is it gluten-free? Vegetarian?
The label lists three mushroom extracts and no other ingredients. It carries no gluten-free or vegan badge, so we do not make either claim.
Are the mushrooms organic?
The blend is labelled as organic mushroom extracts. No lab report is published for this product yet, so it does not appear on our testing page.
How is this different from the 120 Serves pouch?
Same three species, same 416mg each per serve. The tin holds 30 serves and comes with the serving spoon and a metal storage tin. The pouch holds 120 serves and is the refill: $0.75 a serve against $1.33.
Can kids take it?
No. Like everything we sell, not suitable for anyone under 18, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you take any medication, check with your GP first.
Is there a bulk option?
Yes. The PM Mushroom Tonic 120 Serves pouch is $89.95, which is $0.75 a serve against $1.33 for the tin. Same powder, same dose. One price on each, no tiers.
