Meet Agaricus Blazei, The Royal Mushroom
Jamie Thompson
We're excited to share an important update to our mushroom coffee blend. After extensive research and testing, we're transitioning from turkey tail to Agaricus blazei – a change that we believe will make Myracle even better.
Meet Agaricus blazei: The "King of Mushrooms"
Agaricus blazei, also known as the Royal Sun Mushroom or Himematsutake, has earned its reputation as one of the most prized functional mushrooms in the world. Originally discovered in the Brazilian rainforest and later cultivated in Japan, this remarkable fungus has been treasured for centuries for its unique properties and rich, savoury flavour.
Why We Made the Switch
While turkey tail has served us well, Agaricus blazei offers several compelling advantages that make it the perfect fit for our coffee blend:
Enhanced Immune Support
Agaricus blazei contains one of the highest concentrations of beta-glucans found in any mushroom – up to 50% more than many other varieties. These complex polysaccharides are renowned for their ability to support immune system function, helping your body maintain its natural defences throughout the day.
Superior Bioactive Compounds
This mushroom is packed with unique compounds, including:
-
Blazein: a protein complex exclusive to Agaricus blazei
-
High levels of ergosterol: a precursor to vitamin D2
-
Abundant minerals: including potassium, magnesium and zinc
-
Antioxidants: including phenolic compounds and selenium
Perfect Coffee Compatibility
Unlike some mushrooms that can impart earthy or bitter notes, Agaricus blazei has a naturally nutty, slightly sweet flavour that complements coffee beautifully. This creates a more balanced and enjoyable drinking experience without compromising the coffee's natural character.
The Science Behind the Benefits
Research has highlighted several key areas where Agaricus blazei shines:
-
Metabolic Support: Studies suggest it may help support healthy blood sugar levels and metabolic function – making it an ideal companion to your morning coffee routine.
-
Liver Health: Contains compounds that may support liver function and help the body process toxins more effectively.
-
Stress Response: Classified as an adaptogen, it may help your body better manage daily stress and maintain energy levels throughout the day.
-
Digestive Wellness: The prebiotic properties of its beta-glucans may support beneficial gut bacteria, promoting digestive health.

With Agaricus blazei, you're not just getting a delicious cup of coffee – you're investing in:
-
