Tremella mushroom has created a buzz in beauty circles in recent years yet its fame as the beauty mushroom didn’t arrive overnight. Tremella comes to us from a long tradition of use in ancient China as the secret to a youthful complexion amongst noblewomen who sought to nourish their beauty.
In this Journal entry, we explore how Tremella first became somewhat of an ancient beauty legend and delve into its modern uses for promoting skin health and radiance.
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!
Autumn is a time of reduction, the drawing inward of energy, with nature prompting us to release and let go of what is no longer necessary fortifying our bodies and minds for Winter.
Fallen leaves and fruit return to the earth and aligning ourselves with this sense of returning to source acts as our guide when we think about supporting our physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony throughout Autumn in order to thrive.
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.

Cordyceps has recently been the subject of much fascination after its role in the popular HBO series "The Last of Us."
The program depicts Cordyceps as infecting humans, turning them into zombie-like creatures, and sending the internet into a flurry; could this scenario really play out in real life?
In this Journal entry, we'll explore the truth behind Cordyceps and the Last of Us and the possibility of Cordyceps infecting humans. Spoiler alert, it’s a work of pure fiction – phew!
Something a little bit different on the journal today; a recipe with fresh Lion’s Mane mushroom!
The flavour of fresh Lion's Mane is savoury and meaty with a slightly sweet tone and once it's cooked its texture is often compared to seafood like crab or lobster. With its umami flavour Lion's Mane is a delicious addition to vegetarian or vegan dishes as a substitute for meat.
This recipe is one we often whip up for a quick lunch. It’s bursting with flavour and so incredibly easy!
The day of love, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. There is no force in the world more uplifting than that of love, and while we don’t need an excuse to celebrate this universally uniting force there’s no greater heart opener than practising self-love or getting up close and personal with the person or people you hold dear.
These chocolate, rose and raspberry hearts spiked with Cordyceps and Tremella is one of our favourite lust-worthy treats.
