Non-psychedelic mushrooms with health benefits – loved by celebrities – are growing in popularity.

“Functional mushrooms” – aka: medicinal mushrooms, non-psychedelic mushroom products with health benefits – are growing in popularity as a wellness trend.

The likes of Elle Macpherson and Gwyneth Paltrow add them to everything from their morning lattes to protein shakes, and they are even being added to skincare products and craft beer.

Fungi like cordyceps and reishi have “adaptogenic” properties to help fight stress and support the immune system, while one fungi, lion’s mane, can be used to make mushroom coffee as it works like caffeine without the crash.

They long been used in traditional Asian medicine for their ability to improve health and preserve a youthful appearance.

Now Britons will soon be able to buy the functional shroom offerings from brand Marley One, which was created by the Marley family in collaboration with Toronto-based firm, Silo Wellness.

Products to be rolled out to independent UK retailers, health food stores and on e-commerce sites, via a distribution partnership with listed firm LocoSoco, will be five functional mushroom tinctures.
