Description
CERTIFIED ORGANIC SUPPLY
Organic Lentinula edodes Whole Fruiting Body Powder
Organic shiitake whole fruiting body, dried and milled to powder without a carrier. Nothing has been concentrated, so the product is bought on fruit input, mesh and moisture rather than on an assay figure, and the organic certificate is what actually differentiates it from the conventional powder.

Buyer Decision Guide
A whole mushroom powder has no percentage to negotiate, so the acceptance criteria sit elsewhere. Four points are worth fixing in writing.
- Declaration: whole fruiting body on fruit input, no carrier and no anti-caking agent.
- Mesh: 80 mesh as standard, with other cuts reviewed against your blending step.
- Moisture and water activity reported per batch, since caking is the usual complaint.
- Identity confirmed as Lentinula edodes, with the cultivated substrate declared.
- Organic certificate and lot transaction certificate supplied with the shipment.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
How This Grade Differs
The organic shiitake extract at 30% polysaccharides is listed separately. This page is the unconcentrated whole powder, so it is priced per kilogram of dried mushroom rather than per kilogram of polysaccharide, and the two serve different parts of a formula.
Quality and Documentation
Each lot is checked for identity, mesh, moisture, heavy metals and microbiology, with colour compared against a retained sample. The organic certificate set is filed with the batch record.
Regulatory Note
Organic grade: the material is sourced from certified organic growers and processors. The organic certificate and the lot transaction certificate are provided with each shipment on request. The certifying body and the standard applied differ by origin lot, so confirm the standard your market requires (for example NUS/NOP-type, EU 2018/848 or China Organic) before ordering. Certification is held by the producing operation and travels with the lot.
