As self-confessed mycophiles when we started on our journey 5 years ago to bring Inner Atlas to life we set out to offer the highest quality medicinal mushroom extracts possible. In other words, we work hard to provide mushies that we know are active and potent and deliver their intended benefits.
In this journal entry we will run through our sourcing principles and what to look out for, so you know you’re working with a quality product. Buckle up, we’ve got a few mushie truths on the way!

We hope some of the practices in this guide help you to find your own rhythm and drop into a sense of coherence with nature and her cycles.
