Mushroom gummies Reishi and cordyceps gummies, with every milligram on the label

Functional mushroom gummies are dietary supplements made with mushroom extracts, not psychedelics. Ours come in two formulas, Reishi Relax and Cordyceps Energy. Each label names its mushroom, lists every active in milligrams per gummy on a Supplement Facts panel, and prints its cautions. Below: how to tell them from psilocybin gummies, and what our batch testing does and doesn't cover.

Two mushroom gummies, two times of day

Reishi Relax Gummies are an evening wind-down formula made to support relaxation and a healthy response to occasional stress.* Cordyceps Energy Gummies are a daytime formula made to support energy metabolism.* Both are $39.50 for 30 gummies, taken 1–2 a day.

Functional mushroom gummies vs psilocybin gummies: how to tell from the label

“Mushroom gummies” covers two very different products. Functional mushroom gummies use extracts of mushrooms such as reishi or cordyceps and are sold as dietary supplements. Psilocybin gummies, the psychedelic kind, contain compounds that are Schedule I controlled substances under federal law.

They aren't always easy to tell apart. In 2024, the CDC and UVA Health's Blue Ridge Poison Center reported that three of five mushroom gummy brands bought at Virginia gas stations and smoke shops contained psilocybin or psilocin their labels did not disclose. The same year, FDA's investigation of Diamond Shruumz-brand chocolate bars, cones and gummies counted 180 reported illnesses, and its testing found muscimol and psilocin.

A label can't prove what is in a jar. It does show what a seller is willing to put in writing. The table below lists five things to check.

Our labels show all five, with one limit: they name the mushroom by common name (“Reishi Extract”, “Cordyceps Extract”), not Latin species, and don't say fruiting body or mycelium. A proper panel is a necessary sign, not proof.

What our batch COA does and doesn't test

Both gummies have a batch Certificate of Analysis, and we publish them as PDFs: Reishi Relax lot SO103516 and Cordyceps Energy lot SO103517, both made in April 2026.

What they cover: microbiology only. Plate count, yeast, mould, coliforms, E. coli, S. aureus and Salmonella.

What they don't cover: identity, potency, heavy metals or psilocybin. Nothing on either document confirms which mushroom is in the jar, how many milligrams it holds, or that no other substance is present. They also print no specification limits, so there is no pass line to read the results against.

So the precise claim is: the label names the mushroom and every milligram, and the COA shows that batch's microbiology. That is not proof of contents. If your lot isn't listed, email info@flowbotanicals.com and we'll send that batch's document.

Who shouldn't take mushroom gummies

Both labels say: do not exceed the recommended dose, and consult a physician if you are pregnant, nursing, under 18 or have a medical condition. Keep the jar out of reach of children; gummies look like candy, and the people sickened in the UVA Health cases included a young child.

Pregnant or nursing: skip Cordyceps Energy Gummies. They contain DMAE, and there isn't reliable information that DMAE (deanol) is safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. More broadly, NCCIH notes that many supplements have not been tested in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children.

On blood thinners: talk to your doctor first. Ginkgo, in the cordyceps formula, may increase bleeding risk with anticoagulants such as warfarin, and Memorial Sloan Kettering flags both reishi and cordyceps for bleeding risk with blood thinners.

Using alcohol or sedatives: the reishi formula contains valerian root, which NCCIH says should not be taken with alcohol or sedatives.

Having surgery: tell your surgeon. FDA notes you may be asked to stop supplements two to three weeks before a procedure because of bleeding risk and changes in heart rate or blood pressure.

Other medicines or conditions: Memorial Sloan Kettering advises checking with your provider if you take immunosuppressants (reishi) or blood-sugar-lowering medication (cordyceps). DMAE may worsen tonic-clonic seizure disorders.

Sugar in mushroom gummies

Both gummies contain organic cane sugar, and the Supplement Facts panel lists 2 g total sugars (all added) and 10 calories per gummy, so 4 g on a two-gummy day. That is normal for the format, and part of why a gummy holds fewer milligrams of active than a capsule can.

Mushroom gummies: common questions

Are mushroom gummies legal?

It depends on the kind. Reishi and cordyceps gummies are sold in the US as dietary supplements. Psilocybin and psilocyn, the compounds in psychedelic mushrooms, are Schedule I controlled substances under federal law, whatever a package says. State and local rules vary, and gummies marketed as legal have been found to contain undisclosed psilocin.

Do reishi or cordyceps gummies get you high?

They are not sold or designed as psychedelics, and our labels list no psilocybin, psilocin or Amanita. That is what the label states; our batch COAs test microbiology, not identity or psilocybin. A gummy that promises a trip is not a functional mushroom supplement.

Are your mushroom gummies tested for psilocybin?

No. The current batch COAs for both gummies cover microbiology only, not identity, potency, heavy metals or psilocybin. Both are published on our COA page.

Are mushroom gummies good for you?

They can be part of a routine: our reishi formula is made to support relaxation, and our cordyceps formula to support energy metabolism.* They are not medicine, and neither finished gummy has been clinically studied. Doses are modest too: one gummy holds 200 mg of mushroom extract, while a published cordyceps exercise study used a 4 g daily mushroom blend.

When should I take reishi vs cordyceps gummies?

Reishi Relax is designed for an evening wind-down; Cordyceps Energy is designed for daytime. For either, take 1–2 gummies a day and don't exceed 2. If you take any medication, check with your doctor first.

Who shouldn't take mushroom gummies?

Anyone pregnant or nursing should skip the cordyceps formula (it contains DMAE), and anyone under 18 should check with a physician first. Talk to a doctor first if you take blood thinners, immunosuppressants, blood-sugar medication or sedatives, have a medical condition, or have surgery coming up.
