Mushroom Supplements in the UK: What They Are, Benefits, and How to Choose
Functional mushrooms have become a go-to for people who want to support focus, energy, immunity, and everyday wellbeing in a simple routine. At Underground Allure, we stock a full range of mushroom supplements so you can choose what fits your goals and lifestyle.
What are functional mushroom supplements?
Functional mushroom supplements are made from specific mushrooms that have a long history of traditional use and are now popular in modern wellness routines. They’re not psychedelic mushrooms. They’re typically taken daily, like any other supplement, and many people prefer them because they’re easy to add to an existing routine.
Common formats include:
-
Capsules (quick and simple)
-
Powders (easy to add to smoothies, hot drinks, or recipes)
-
Coffee blends (a convenient morning option)
-
Gummies (tasty and travel-friendly)
The key mushrooms (and what people use them for)
Different mushrooms are chosen for different goals. Here’s a simple guide to the most popular options.
Lion’s Mane (focus + mental clarity)
Lion’s Mane is commonly chosen by people who want support with focus, memory, and day-to-day mental clarity.
Cordyceps (energy + stamina)
Cordyceps is often used by people who want steady energy and stamina, especially when they’re trying to avoid feeling “wired” from too much caffeine.
Reishi (calm + rest)
Reishi is known as a calming mushroom and is often used as part of an evening wind-down routine or during stressful periods.
Chaga (immune support + antioxidants)
Chaga is often chosen for immune support and antioxidant support as part of a daily wellness routine.
Maitake (gut health + immunity)
Maitake is often included for gut health and immune support, and is commonly linked with beta-glucans and overall digestive balance.
Turkey Tail (gut + immune routine)
Turkey Tail is a popular choice for people focused on gut health and immune support, especially as part of a consistent daily routine.
Tremella (skin + hydration support)
Tremella is often chosen by people focused on skin support and a more “glow” / hydration-led wellness routine.
Want an all-in-one option? Try a mushroom complex
If you don’t want to pick just one mushroom, a blend can be the easiest place to start.

How to choose a quality mushroom supplement
When you’re comparing products, look for clear, transparent info and avoid anything with unnecessary extras.
Key things to check:
-
Whether the product uses mushroom extracts (and whether it states the extract ratio)
-
Whether it’s made from the fruiting body
-
Whether it avoids fillers and additives
-
Whether the brand provides clear ingredient and serving information
Note: Some products are described as using fruiting body extracts, with no fillers or additives, and may list an extract ratio (for example, 10:1). Always check the product page for the exact details for the specific format you choose.
How to take mushroom supplements (simple routine tips)
Most people get the best results when they’re consistent.
Practical tips:
-
Pick one goal (focus, energy, calm, gut/immune) and start there
-
Take your supplement daily for a few weeks to assess how you feel
-
Choose a format you’ll actually stick to (capsules, powder, coffee, or gummies)
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take medication, it’s always best to check with a qualified professional before starting new supplements.
