Product Description
The ladder on this Hericium erinaceus powder runs from about 10% to 50% polysaccharides, with beta-glucan grades around 10%, 20% and 30%. Picking the high end changes the capsule size. Picking the low end changes the dose story.
The part is not stated on every lot. Fruiting body is the hericenone material; mycelium is the erinacine material. If the sheet is silent, leave the part off the label rather than guess. Match the test method to the number you print.

Applications
Coffee and Cocoa
Coffee and cocoa take a brown powder that is milder than reishi.
Gummies and Bars
Gummies and bars use the higher assays when the serving has to stay small.
Blends
Blends list lion's mane and the part. The blend's own percent is not this assay.
Part on the COA
Fruiting body brings hericenones and mycelium brings erinacines. If the lot does not name the part, the label should not guess it.
FAQ
Which polysaccharide grades are available?
About 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. Beta-glucan is quoted around 10%, 20% and 30%, as its own test.
Does the higher polysaccharide grade mean more hericenones?
No. Hericenones need their own assay. Polysaccharide percent does not report them.
What if the certificate does not name the plant part?
Do not invent fruiting body or mycelium. Ask for the part before release.
Is this the same specification as the organic fruiting-body code?
Not necessarily. Organic status, part and the exact assay are separate lines. Compare the COAs.
