It is a standardised agaricus blazei mushroom extract powder produced from mycelium through a patented solid-state fermentation process, and standardised for beta-glucan and polysaccharides. Positioned for immune support, recovery and everyday vitality, OmniMycan® gives supplement and functional food brands a premium, traceable and Halal-suitable ingredient — available for wholesale and B2B supply.
Understanding the Ingredient
What Is Agaricus blazei?
Agaricus blazei — known botanically as Agaricus blazei Murill (also classified as Agaricus subrufescens) — is a functional mushroom highly valued in Japan as a traditional daily health food. Often described as a superfood, it is a rich natural source of polysaccharides and beta-glucans, the bioactive compounds behind its reputation as an immune-supporting agaricus mushroom.
Key Bioactive Compounds
Beta-glucans — complex polysaccharides known for immune-modulating activity — and polysaccharides, supporting overall immune function and vitality.
Market Landscape
Forms of Agaricus blazei Extract on the Market
Agaricus blazei is sold in many forms — organic fruiting body extracts, mushroom powder, capsules, tinctures, bulk powder and water-soluble extract powder. Quality and composition vary widely — OmniMycan® takes a different, branded approach, built on standardisation and documentation rather than commodity variability.

For Formulators & QA
Evaluating an Agaricus blazei Ingredient: What to Check
One species, many names. The same mushroom appears on documents as Agaricus blazei Murrill (the long-standing trade name), Agaricus subrufescens (the name most taxonomists now accept) and Agaricus brasiliensis. It is also sold as almond mushroom, himematsutake in Japan, and 姬松茸 (jī sōngróng) or 巴西蘑菇 in Chinese-speaking markets. It is a different species from Agaricus bisporus, the common button mushroom. Check that the specification, Certificate of Analysis and your label use a consistent name.
β-glucan and total polysaccharide are different numbers. A total-polysaccharide figure counts all carbohydrate polymers, including α-glucans such as glycogen and starch, not only the β-glucans usually of interest. OmniMycan®’s own specification lists both figures (polysaccharides ≥12% and β-glucan ≥1.2%). That is the informative way to specify a mushroom ingredient. When comparing offers, compare β-glucan with β-glucan.
The method behind the number. Enzymatic β-glucan assays, colorimetric total-carbohydrate methods (such as phenol–sulfuric acid) and gravimetric precipitation methods measure different things and can give very different results for the same powder. Ask for the method to be named on the Certificate of Analysis, and treat figures produced by different methods as not comparable.
What the mycelium was grown on. Mycelium produced by solid-state culture is grown on a substrate, and some of that substrate can remain in the finished powder. Ask what the substrate is: a cereal substrate can affect allergen and gluten declarations. Ask for α-glucan to be measured alongside β-glucan.
Agaritine. Agaricus species, the button mushroom included, naturally contain agaritine, a hydrazine derivative that has been examined in food-safety assessments. Levels vary with the material and fall with heat processing. Ask whether the supplier measures it, particularly for products intended for daily long-term use.
Contaminants and documents. Mushrooms can accumulate heavy metals, and cadmium in particular has been reported in Agaricus fruiting bodies. Ask for cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic results against your target market’s limits, along with microbiological results. Ask for pesticide screening for field-grown material. For Halal-positioned products, confirm which body issued the certificate and whether your export markets recognise it.
