Swanson Full Spectrum Lion's Mane is a 500mg fruiting-body capsule made from whole Hericium erinaceus mushroom, 60 vegan capsules per bottle.

This is a full-spectrum fruiting body powder, the whole above-ground mushroom rather than mycelium grown on grain, in a plant-cellulose capsule. It is the lowest-priced Lion's Mane bottle we stock in Ireland. If you are after a higher-concentration extract instead, the Osavi Lion's Mane 600mg in the same collection is a 30:1 extract with measured beta-glucans on the label. Both are vegan and both use the fruiting body.

Is this Lion's Mane fruiting body or mycelium?

Fruiting body. The fruiting body is the visible mushroom above ground; the mycelium is the root-like network, often grown on grain. This product uses the fruiting body of Hericium erinaceus, which is the part that naturally contains the mushroom's hericenones. Many buyers prefer fruiting-body products for that reason.
