An important update regarding the FSANZ re-classification
Hello shroom folk,
We have received some devastating news this week - Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) have just reclassified some medicinal mushroom products as ‘novel foods’ (March 2021), which means we are unable to continue selling our Reishi and Lion’s Mane products with immediate effect.
We’re working with our expert advisors to find out as much as we can about this change, but until FSANZ has re-assessed the status of Reishi and Lion’s Mane as a food product, we will have to cease all production of these mushrooms. We are heartbroken as this is the heart of our business.
We are extremely passionate about our 100% Australian grown medicinal mushrooms as so many mushroom products on the market today are imported from overseas. All of our products have been fully lab tested for microbiology and nutritional content and we have complete confidence that we are growing - and have always grown - a top-quality product.
Thank you so much for your support over the last seven years – it’s been an absolute blast. This isn’t the end of Milton Mushrooms, just a hiatus. In the meantime we will continue to sell our zines, prints, stickers, shirts and totes. We are also planning to supply our fully DNA sequenced cultures to those who wish to grow their own medicinal and gourmet mushrooms. We hope to see you all again soon.

We do our own culturingWe grow our medicinal mushrooms from independently lab tested cultures at our farm. No chemicals or nasties added in the process.
|
Grown on Australian brown riceWe grow our mycelium on Australian Demeter Biodynamic Brown Rice, so our products are gluten and dairy free.
|
Tasty, immune-boosting powdersWe dehydrate, powder, and blend our medicinal mushrooms with organic cacao and spices to make the perfect immune-boosting tonics.

Try our Reishi and Lion's Mane
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) are natural immune enhancers.
Our reishi and lion's mane are sustainably grown on Australian Demeter Biodynamic brown rice, which is then dehydrated for 12 hours and powdered, capturing a spectrum of beneficial compounds and metabolites. With strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, our medicinal mushroom powders are the perfect addition to your daily coffee or cacao.

So delicious!! Fills my little heart with happiness and my body full of health. I love the Reishi Spiced Cacao, and drink it instead of a coffee in the morning.

Great texture and very mild taste making it perfect to add to smoothie! Highly recommend!!

I've been buying this for nearly year and I drink it multiple times a week. It has really helped me get off coffee as it has a similar warm cosy nourishing feel without the sugar and caffeine. I only add almond milk, it doesn't need anything else. Love it!
