Polyporus umbellatus (Umbrella Polypore, Zhu Ling)

The umbrella polypore thrives in warm deciduous forests on the stumps and roots of oak and birch trees. This rare but esteemed edible mushroom forms dense bundles of dozens to hundreds of tall, narrow caps. These bundles can grow to sizes of up to 50cm across and weigh several kilos. The light brown and rounded appearance of these bundles at the foot of oak trees has earned the polypore the nickname "oak rabbit" (Eichhase) in German, because at first glance one might mistake it for a wild rabbit.

The individual caps grow from a shared stump that emerges from the mushroom's blackish-brown sclerotium, which is a type of hardened mycelium that grows underground or inside a tree trunk and which can survive harsh temperatures in winter. The polypore can allegedly live for up to 30 years. While the fruiting body is typically used in cooking, the sclerotium is more often used in medicine.

Our vital mushrooms come from the most renowned Chinese region for vital mushrooms in Gutian County, Fujian (600-700m.a.s.l.). The cultivation of vital mushrooms is an ancient tradition here and produces mushrooms of unprecedented quality. The special soils, the sophisticated substrates and the climatic conditions in the untouched nature of this region protected by the densely forested mountains ensure a high concentration of the valuable mushroom ingredients. Our natural mushrooms come from purely organic cultivation from our EU organic certified partner farm. The mushrooms thrive naturally and are harvested by hand at the maximum of their ingredient content between July and October.

To further concentrate the beta-glucans contained in the mushrooms, the gently dried and finely ground fruiting bodies and stems of the mushrooms are processed into an extract. The extraction is carried out according to traditional methods using only water. Water extracts have been part of Chinese tradition and Western herbalism for centuries and have always been used to make plant extracts. They are among the gentlest extraction methods and result in a highly pure extract, free from any toxic residues of chemical solvents (such as acetone, N-hexane, methanol).
