What's agaricus blazei a.k.a. cogumelo do sol
Agaricus subrufescens — commonly known as Agaricus blazei Murrill — is a mushroom with one of the most remarkable cultural journeys in herbal medicine. Native to the Atlantic forest highlands of São Paulo, Brazil, where it is known as "Cogumelo do Sol" (Mushroom of the Sun) or "Cogumelo de Deus" (Mushroom of God), it was traditionally used by communities in the Piedade region and became so associated with health and longevity there that the population was studied by researchers who noted unusually low rates of certain chronic conditions. In 1965, the mushroom was sent to Japan by researcher Takatoshi Furumoto, and within a generation it had become "Himematsutake" — the Princess Mushroom — one of the most widely consumed functional mushroom supplements in Japan, where it is studied alongside Reishi and Shiitake as one of the country's most important medicinal fungi.
Gribb grows Agaricus blazei on their own certified-organic farm in Portugal under PT-BIO-10 and double-extracts it to capture both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds — standardised to 32–40% beta-glucans (β1,3/β1,6) ·
Naturally rich in beta-glucans (including the unique proteoglycan FIII-2-b) and antioxidant compounds.

Ideal for
- You want a functional mushroom with a genuinely unique place in global herbal heritage — different from the East-Asian standbys Most functional mushrooms in the Western wellness market trace their herbal heritage to East Asia. Agaricus blazei is different — it began in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, was valued by South American herbal communities for generations, then crossed the Pacific to Japan and earned an independent place in Japanese functional mushroom practice. Two completely separate herbal traditions, two independent recognitions of the same mushroom.
- You want the mushroom that Japanese functional medicine embraced alongside Reishi and Shiitake In Japan, Agaricus blazei is consumed by hundreds of thousands of people daily and has been the subject of decades of research interest. Its polysaccharides — particularly beta-glucans and the unique proteoglycan complex FIII-2-b — are among the most studied in Japanese nutritional science. This is the mushroom the Japanese wellness tradition ranks alongside Reishi and Shiitake in significance.
- You want a rare, genuinely distinctive single-mushroom tincture not found in most supplement ranges Agaricus blazei is present in very few supplement ranges outside of Japan. Gribb grows it in-house in Portugal — one of the very few European producers cultivating this species from whole fruiting body. Double-extracted. Certified organic. The mushroom the wellness world is still discovering.

What to expect
Ritual beats intensity. Same time, every day. That's the whole game.
WEEK 1–2
Your body is absorbing and adjusting to the blend. The functional mushrooms
and adaptogenic botanicals need time to build in your system — most people
notice little change yet and that is completely normal. Stay consistent.
WEEK 3
This is usually when subtle shifts begin. Days feel slightly more even. The
afternoon dip that used to derail you starts to feel less sharp. Not a spike —
a steadier floor.

Why dual extraction matter
Most functional mushroom products use a single extraction — which means they only capture part of what this mushroom has to offer.
Gribb's tincture uses a dual-extraction process: first with hot water to release the water-soluble beta-glucans, then with organic alcohol to extract the fat-soluble compounds. The two extracts are then combined into a single, full-spectrum liquid. It's a more time-intensive method — and the reason this tincture delivers what a capsule or powder alone cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Agaricus blazei Murrill — also correctly known as Agaricus subrufescens — is a mushroom native to the Atlantic forest highlands of São Paulo, Brazil. It grows in the region around the town of Piedade, where it was traditionally used by local communities and known as "Cogumelo do Sol" (Mushroom of the Sun) or "Cogumelo de Deus" (Mushroom of God). In 1965 it was brought to Japan by researcher Takatoshi Furumoto, and within a generation it had become "Himematsutake" (Princess Mushroom) — one of the most widely consumed functional mushroom supplements in Japan. It is also known as "the Royal Sun Mushroom," "the almond mushroom" (for its naturally nutty flavour), and in China as "Ji Song Rong." It is one of the few functional mushrooms with equally deep herbal heritage on two separate continents.
After arriving in Japan in 1965, Agaricus blazei attracted significant research interest from Japanese scientists, particularly at institutions studying functional foods and medicinal mushrooms. Within decades it had become one of the three most consumed medicinal mushroom supplements in Japan alongside Reishi and Shiitake — an extraordinary adoption rate for a mushroom not native to Asia. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has been the site of ongoing research into its polysaccharides and proteoglycans, including the unique compound FIII-2-b (a proteoglycan complex composed of protein and carbohydrate) that is specific to Agaricus blazei and not found in other functional mushrooms. Today, hundreds of thousands of people in Japan consume Agaricus blazei daily — a fact that reflects decades of independent cultural and scientific validation.
Agaricus blazei is particularly rich in beta-glucans (β-1,3 and β-1,6 glucans) and unique proteoglycans — protein-polysaccharide complexes that are studied for their biological activities. The most notable is FIII-2-b — a proteoglycan complex of approximately 43% protein and 50% carbohydrate that is unique to this species and has been the subject of significant research interest in Japanese nutritional science. It also contains ergosterol (a precursor to vitamin D), polysaccharides including agaritine, naturally occurring antioxidants, and a distinctive almond-like aroma compound (benzaldehyde). Its beta-glucan profile is standardised to 32–40% (β1,3/β1,6) in Gribb's double-extracted tincture.
Agaricus blazei is the only mushroom in the Gribb range with South American herbal heritage — all others (Reishi, Lion's Mane, Chaga, Maitake, Mesima, Tremella, Shiitake, Cordyceps) trace their traditional roots primarily to East Asian or Siberian practice. Its unique proteoglycan FIII-2-b is not found in any other mushroom. Its flavour profile is distinctive — naturally mild with an almond-like character, the most pleasant-tasting of the standalone tinctures. And its cultural journey — from Brazilian Atlantic forest to Japanese herbal medicine — is unlike any other mushroom in functional supplement use.
No — Agaricus blazei is far less common in European supplement ranges than in Japanese or North American markets. Gribb is one of the very few European producers growing this species in-house from whole fruiting body. Most European products that include Agaricus blazei use imported mycelium-based material or spray-dried extracts of uncertain provenance. Gribb grows it on their certified-organic farm in Portugal under PT-BIO-10 and double-extracts every batch for full-spectrum potency — making this one of the rarest and most carefully produced Agaricus blazei tinctures available in Europe.
Yes — every mushroom is grown in our own certified-organic urban farm in Portimão, Portugal. We grow them ourselves from spore through to harvest. Nothing is imported from third-party suppliers or rebranded from elsewhere.
Our production is certified organic by NATURALFA (PT-BIO-10) and every batch is third-party tested before it ships. Full traceability from farm to your door.
Yes — the tincture contains 20–30% organic alcohol, which is required for the dual-extraction process and acts as a natural preservative. At a standard 1ml dose, the amount is very small. To minimise it, add the drops to a hot drink — the heat causes most of the alcohol to evaporate quickly without affecting the mushroom compounds.
Take 1 full dropper (1ml / approx. 20 drops) up to twice daily. For fastest absorption, hold it under the tongue for 30–60 seconds before swallowing. Alternatively, add it directly to any hot or cold drink. Most people find the easiest approach is to add it to their morning coffee or tea — it becomes habit immediately and you never forget a dose.
Each 50ml bottle contains approximately 50 daily servings at the recommended 1ml dose. At once daily, that's roughly 7 weeks. At twice daily, approximately 3–4 weeks.
Yes — this tincture is designed for daily use as part of a consistent wellness routine.
As with any supplement, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medication, please consult your healthcare provider before starting. This is a food supplement, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Yes. Every mushroom used in Gribb's Lion's Mane tincture is grown on Gribb's own certified-organic farm in Portugal — certified under PT-BIO-10.
