Product Description
On a log, Hericium erinaceus hangs in white spines. This code is that fruiting body. Hericenones belong to that story. Erinacines belong to the mycelium, which this extract is not.
What the COA usually offers is polysaccharides and beta-glucan, not those two molecules. A 30% beta-glucan powder is not standardised to hericenones unless that test is there. Coffee and gummies use it because the taste is milder than reishi. The claim on the pack still has to be one you can support, and the beta-glucan method has to match the number you print.

Applications
Mushroom Coffee
Coffee stays relatively palatable with this extract, milder than reishi at a similar dose.
Gummies
Gummies can carry it when the marker survives the cook.
Daily Powders
Sachets and tubs suit a cocoa or coffee base, where the colour disappears into the drink.
Hericenone Briefs
Hericenone formulas need that molecule measured. Beta-glucan is a different marker and does not stand in for it.
Not Mycelium Erinacines
Fruiting-body extract is what these capsules use. Erinacines belong to the mycelium, which this powder is not.
FAQ
Do hericenones and erinacines come from the same part?
Hericenones are discussed for the fruiting body. Erinacines are discussed for the mycelium. This specification is fruiting body.
Is 30% beta-glucan the same as 30% polysaccharides?
No. Beta-glucan is the narrower test. Ask which method was used.
Can a mycelium powder replace this fruiting-body extract?
Not against this specification. The part is the difference.
What should a coffee brand check besides the assay?
Taste at the real inclusion, colour, and that the organic certificate covers the extract if the coffee is labeled organic.
What belongs on the COA?
Hericium erinaceus, fruiting body, the marker and its method, heavy metals and microbiology.
