As one of the biggest wellness trends right now, mushrooms have continued to intrigue people in the fitness and wellness spaces, and beyond. They have a long history in traditional medicine across the world, with a range of potential health benefits.
But how do you add them to your routine? With such a variety of fungi available, all with different origins, prices and potential wellness effects, it can be tricky knowing which to choose.
Mushroom gummies are designed to solve this issue: easy-to-enjoy, chewable supplements that combine varieties of mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, or Cordyceps with vitamins and minerals to potentially support focus and overall wellness.
At Cannaray, our range of Mushroom Gummies includes the highly popular Lion’s Mane Wellness Gummies, alongside our Mushroom Complex Gummies and Mushroom Blend Gummies, which both host 6 six mega mushrooms in one supercharged supplement. But what do Mushroom Gummies contain, and how can they help your energy and wellbeing?
What Are The Potential Benefits of Mushroom Gummies?
Whilst shop-bought button mushrooms and other standard varieties can form part of a nutritious (and tasty) diet, the rarer mushrooms with higher potential health benefits are considered ‘adaptogens’. Having risen in popularity over recent years despite being used for thousands of years in some cultures, adaptogens are herbs, roots and other substances like fungi that can help to neutralise the effects of stress on your body. This is thought to be across physical, emotional and mental stresses.
It’s likely that you’ll have heard of some popular adaptogens Lion’s Mane fungi. Not all fungi are adaptogenic, but it’s thought that Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Chaga fit the criteria.
With such a wide variety of mushrooms available, selecting the right option and knowing how to take them can seem daunting. That’s why we’ve created our Mushroom Complex and Mushroom Blend Gummies, choosing the most well-researched and safe mushrooms to benefit your wellbeing:
Lion’s Mane Mushroom
Used by Buddhist monks to help them in their meditation, Lion’s Mane has become hugely popular across the wellness space. Studies suggest it boosts cognitive function, improves immune function, helps to regulate mood, and potentially helps to fight inflammation with high antioxidant activity. If you want a concentrated dose, our Lion’s Mane Wellness Gummies are easy to add to your routine, and you’ll also find this famed mushroom in our Mushroom Complex Gummies.
Chaga Mushroom
Often called the ‘diamond of the forest’ or ‘black gold’, Chaga is a sought-after fungus, which grows on birch trees in cold climates, having been used for centuries in traditional wellness practices, especially in Siberia and parts of Asia.
Chaga, similarly to Lion’s Mane, is rich in antioxidants, especially melanin and polyphenols, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress. Modern research is exploring its potential to support immune function and promote overall balance in the body.
Cordyceps Mushroom
While Cordyceps have come into focus from the popularity of the game and TV show The Last of Us, the present day reality is that they’re one of the most prized mushrooms of all, and are safe to consume. They’re widely used by athletes and people in the wellness space as it’s thought they may contribute to stamina, endurance and strength.
Maitake Mushroom
In Japanese, ‘Maitake’ means ‘dancing’. Rumour has it, the people who first discovered the mushroom danced with joy when they realised its many potential benefits. Maitake is a type of adaptogen that, according to studies, can help to support the immune system and even protect the body from cell damage.
Tremella Mushroom
Revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine as the ‘fountain of youth’, Tremella is set apart by its exceptionally high levels of polysaccharides, which have a structure similar to hyaluronic acid. These compounds are believed to help retain moisture, support skin elasticity, and promote collagen production—making Tremella a go-to in natural beauty rituals.
Beyond this, studies suggest Tremella may also have antioxidant, immune-modulating, and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting overall wellbeing from the inside out.
Reishi Mushroom
Known as the ‘mushroom of immortality’, Reishi has a long and respected history in Eastern wellness traditions. It’s been used for over 2,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine, primarily for its calming and immune-supporting properties.
Do Mushroom Gummies Taste Like Mushrooms?
We admit, taking a ‘mushroom’ supplement may not sound overly appealing. Our Mushroom Blend and Mushroom Complex Gummies are made with Natural Mixed Berry Flavouring, making the combination of powerful mushrooms enjoyable to take in one small, tasty gummy. Our Lion’s Mane Wellness Gummies are made with an equally delicious blueberry flavour—with Cannaray you always get juicy and delicious wellness products.
But it’s not only mushrooms used in our Mushroom Gummies. With these added powerhouse ingredients, our Mushroom Blend and Mushroom Complex Gummies can help to bring you enhanced focus and energy throughout the day:
Panax Ginseng
Considered an adaptogen, Panax Ginseng is a powerful plant that grows in China, Korea and Siberia, making it a popular ingredient in Asian medicine.

Vitamin B5
Proven to reduce tiredness and fatigue, this mega vitamin helps you feel more energised. As part of a balanced diet and supplement regime, it’s the perfect natural energy driver, keeping you on task from morning to night.
How often Should I Take Mushroom Gummies?
