CERTIFIED ORGANIC SUPPLY
Organic Hericium erinaceus Whole Fruiting Body Powder
Organic lion’s mane whole fruiting body powder, milled without carrier. Most of the material sold under this name internationally is mycelium grown on grain, which is a different product with a different starch load, so the part used is declared explicitly on this page.

Buyer Decision Guide
Lion’s mane powder is one of the categories where the same words describe two different products. Three points keep the order unambiguous.
- Material: whole fruiting body, not mycelium-on-grain.
- Declaration: no carrier, no anti-caking agent, no grain filler.
- Mesh: 80 mesh as standard; other sizes on request.
- Moisture, heavy metals and microbiology reported per batch.
- Organic certificate covering the fruiting body material.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
How This Grade Differs
A mycelium-on-grain product and an organic 30% polysaccharide extract are both available as separate items. This page is the whole fruiting body powder, which carries the natural matrix rather than a standardised fraction.
Quality and Documentation
Identity, mesh, moisture, heavy metals and microbiology are checked per lot, with colour compared against a retained sample and the organic certificate filed alongside.
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.
