Mama Shrooms Wins: Growing a Functional Mushroom Brand with Purpose

gemma Ogston
Building a functional mushroom brand isn’t always easy.

The world of mushroom supplements and adaptogens is growing fast, and running a female-founded wellness business takes resilience, clarity and deep commitment to quality. I often share the challenges - but today I want to share the wins.

Because Mama Shrooms is growing. And it’s growing intentionally.

Launching in Soho House Health Club

A huge milestone: Mama Shrooms has launched in Soho House Health Club.

For an independent functional mushroom supplement brand, this represents trust and credibility. What started as a kitchen-table idea built around high-quality medicinal mushrooms is now stepping into respected wellness spaces — and that feels incredibly meaningful.

National Press Recognition

We’ve recently been featured in:
• Olive Magazine
• Women’s Running
• Women’s Health
 •  The Independent 

Press coverage helps more people discover functional mushrooms for immune support, cognitive function and hormonal balance. It also allows us to talk about what truly matters -sourcing, extraction methods and beta-glucan content.

In a saturated supplement market, education is everything.

Educating on Beta-Glucans & Mushroom Quality

I’ve also recorded in-depth mushroom conversations exploring:
• Why beta-glucans are essential in medicinal mushrooms
• The difference between fruiting body and mycelium
• The importance of dual-extraction
• How to choose a high-quality mushroom supplement

Functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Chaga have centuries of traditional use — but modern quality standards matter just as much.

Mama Shrooms has always been about transparency, potency and properly formulated mushroom extracts.

Supporting Mental Wellbeing

We’re also working on initiatives around University Mental Health Day, exploring how adaptogenic mushrooms may support stress resilience and focus.

Functional mushrooms are not a quick fix — but they can be part of a long-term approach to wellbeing and nervous system support.

Scaling Up with Higher Beta-Glucans

Our newest production batch is arriving this week and we’ve scaled up.

We’ve increased beta-glucan levels, refined the formula and maintained strict sourcing standards. Growth for us isn’t about volume alone it’s about improving quality with every batch.

Growing with Purpose

The wellness industry can be noisy. But Mama Shrooms is being built slowly, intentionally and with integrity.

Functional mushrooms deserve respect, education and proper formulation — not hype.

If you’ve supported Mama Shrooms in any way thank you. Independent brands grow through trust and community.

We’re growing. And we’re doing it properly 🍄✨
