Mushroom potency

Bespoke mushroom biomarkers

Mushroom potency

ADACT Medical offers a range of testing on mushrooms which are becoming increasingly popular to support our health. Depending on the specificity of the result required, there are a number of methods that can be used to test the quality of mushrooms. We are able to confirm the identity of specific mushrooms and quantify potency using species biomarkers:

  • Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)

  • Reishi  (Ganoderma lucidum)

  • Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)

  • Shitake (Lentinula edodes)

  • Maitake (Grifola frondose)

  • Chaga  (Inonotus obliquus)

  • Turkey Tail (Tremella versicolor)

  • We use High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) to determine that the test sample matches a known reagent to produce a chromatographic fingerprint.

    We can also quantify the mushroom content of the sample using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry.
