Verified Aug 17, 2026
A powdered mushroom-based supplement for dogs and cats intended to support skin, coat, and overall immune function. It relies on a blend of organic medicinal mushrooms, such as cordyceps, reishi, and maitake, rather than traditional vitamin or oil sources. This is used alongside a complete diet, not as a primary food.

Worth a Conversation
This is a niche, mushroom-focused supplement that may appeal if you’re looking to add an immune and skin/coat support product on top of a balanced diet. The ingredient list is very simple and based entirely on organic medicinal mushrooms. Because it is not a complete diet and there is no nutrient analysis provided, it should be viewed as an optional add-on rather than an essential part of daily nutrition.

Where these benefits come from
Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Uses a blend of organic medicinal mushrooms, which are a concentrated source of beta-glucans and other polysaccharides.
- Very short, simple ingredient list, which can be helpful for pets that need minimal added ingredients.
- Safe to use in both dogs and cats, which can be convenient for multi-pet households.
Considerations
- This is not a complete or balanced food and should only be used with a nutritionally complete main diet.
- There is no guaranteed analysis, so we do not know levels of key nutrients like protein, fat, or calories.
- Mushroom-based supplements may not be appropriate for pets with certain medical conditions or on immune-modulating drugs; check with your vet first.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Mushroom
Mushrooms are used in pet foods as a low‑calorie vegetable ingredient and flavor enhancer that adds dietary fiber and bioactive components such as beta‑glucans, antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals. These compounds can modestly support immune health and antioxidant status in dogs and cats, but mushrooms should be included only in moderation and sourced/processed safely because some wild species are toxic and some pets may experience allergies or gastrointestinal upset.

02
Cordyceps
Cordyceps is a medicinal mushroom often included in pet foods or supplements as a functional ingredient rather than a primary nutrient, marketed for its antioxidant properties and potential to support energy, respiratory function, and immune health in dogs and cats. Evidence in companion animals is limited, so benefits are not guaranteed; quality and dosing vary between products and there can be risks of gastrointestinal upset or interactions with medications (for example immunosuppressants or blood thinners), so consult your veterinarian before use, especially for pregnant, nursing, or medicated pets.
03
Coriolus Versicolor
Coriolus versicolor (turkey tail mushroom) is used in pet supplements and functional foods for its polysaccharide-rich profile—notably beta-glucans—that act as immunomodulatory and antioxidant compounds to support immune health rather than serve as a nutrient source. In dogs and cats it may help modulate immune responses and support overall wellness, but evidence is limited, and considerations include variable product quality and dosing, possible gastrointestinal upset or allergies, and potential interactions with immunosuppressive medications, so use should be discussed with a veterinarian.
04
King Trumpet
King Trumpet (king oyster) mushroom is used in pet foods primarily as a low-fat, low-calorie vegetable ingredient that contributes dietary fiber, some plant protein, savory flavor, B vitamins, potassium and bioactive polysaccharides like beta-glucans. It may aid palatability and support digestive and immune health in small amounts, but it is not a complete protein for cats, can cause GI upset or allergic reactions in sensitive animals, and should only be included as cultivated, properly processed mushroom rather than wild varieties.
05
Maitake
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is a culinary and medicinal mushroom used in pet foods and supplements as a functional ingredient that supplies dietary fiber and bioactive polysaccharides (notably beta‑glucans) thought to support immune response and provide antioxidant benefits. It should be considered a complementary ingredient rather than a primary nutrient; use food‑grade, cultivated sources and consult your veterinarian—especially for pets with immune disorders, those on immunosuppressants, pregnant animals, or pets prone to gastrointestinal sensitivity—as wild mushrooms can be toxic and overconsumption may cause digestive upset.
