Reishi
Reishi mushroom, known in Chinese medicine as the 'mushroom of immortality', is one of the most well-researched mushrooms in the world. A number of clinical trials have demonstrated that reishi promotes immune modulation in both healthy adults and adults with systemic immune dysregulation.

The Lucidum Story
Dr. Anna Sitkoff, ND
Co-founder, Chief Science Officer
I embarked on my journey into the world of medicinal mushrooms during a deeply challenging time: my father's treatment for leukemia. This pivotal experience led me to begin researching, writing, and teaching about medicinal mushrooms, and, after his death, to complete my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine.
During my medical training I completed laboratory research on the impacts of medicinal mushroom extracts on leukemia cells, published in the prestigious Journal of Immunology, and authored the Medicinal Mushrooms chapter for the industry standard Textbook of Natural Medicine.
I was disappointed with the quality and effectiveness of commercially available mushroom products as I started clinical practice, so I co-founded Lucidum Medicinals with a clear mission: to harness the therapeutic power of mushrooms, providing a foundation for health and wellness rooted in nature, and validated by science.

The Lucidum Difference
Physician-founded, physician-formulated
Lucidum Medicinals is the only mushroom brand founded and formulated by physicians. Dr. Anna brings her decade of experience in mycology and natural medicine to each formulation so that every patient gets what they need, and none of what they don’t. See what other practitioners are saying about Lucidum formulas below.
Formulas, not "blends"
Other brands sell either single mushrooms or “blends” that throw the kitchen sink at you. Single mushrooms lack synergism, while blends with 5+ ingredients lack focus and specificity. Our formulas are carefully crafted for each body system, informed by available scientific evidence and traditional use, using only the mushrooms that matter.
Guaranteed quality & potency
Our mushrooms are tested extensively to guarantee not only safety but potency. Each is tested for key active ingredients, like beta-glucans and terpenoids, as well as for the absence of the alpha-glucans you would find in myceliated grains or “full spectrum” mushroom products.
Extracted for maximum potency
The active molecules in mushrooms are a major component of the fungal cell wall, making them hard to digest and absorb. Our formulas use fruiting body extracted in water and alcohol that is easy to absorb and highly bioavailable so you get the most out of your mushroom medicine.
100% fruiting body - no mycelium or grain
What we know as a mushroom is the fruiting body - what we see above ground, and can harvest in the wild. The below-ground mycelium part of the fungus has no traditional use, and, crucially, cannot be separated from what it’s growing on. Commercial mycelium products are grown on fermented grain - which makes up a substantial portion of the final product. We use potent 100% fruiting body only, so you get the most out of each mushroom.
Committed to mushroom medicine
Mushrooms and natural medicine are not a trend for us - we founded Lucidum Medicinals on a backbone of 10+ years of experience in mycology and natural medicine. We use mushrooms to support a deep life of connection, love, and vitality for our families, our communities, and our patients. We hope you will too.
