On this episode of ‘In Search of Insight’ (episode #21), we explore Lignosus rhinocerus, better known as the tiger milk mushroom. Tiger Milk is a newcomer to the functional mushroom scene, and up until recently has been extremely rare. Traditional knowledge about tiger milk mushroom comes from Malaysia, where the indigenous population has been using this mushroom for hundreds of years. Its rarity is due to the fact that tiger milk mushrooms do not tend to grow close to each other in the wild. According to traditional knowledge, the tiger milk mushrooms seem to grow many kilometers apart from each other. This makes gathering sufficient amounts of tiger milk mushroom in the wild extremely difficult! The logical answer is to cultivate the tiger milk mushroom.

A little over a decade ago, Dr. Tan Chon Seng made major advances in the cultivation of tiger milk mushroom. Once a viable cultivation method was scaled up for production, research on tiger milk mushroom started to boom. For the first time in history, researchers had access to sufficient quantities of tiger milk mushroom. In a short period of time, there are fully fledged human clinical trials coming out about the unique respiratory effects of tiger milk mushroom!

Despite cultivation and research in the last decade, there are still plenty of knowledge gaps. Within the United States, there wasn’t a botanical reference material (BRM) that could be used to verify whether a tiger milk mushroom product is Lignosus rhinoceros. We needed to get our own BRM made for tiger milk mushroom. This project was undertaken by our lab director, James Jursich (Jay)! With this in mind, and the hard work Jay put into this project, we thought it would be interesting to have Jay as a guest on our podcast.

We are the first major U.S. functional mushroom vendor to come out with a very high quality tiger milk mushroom product, and are sure to make waves in the functional mushroom space! Tune into this episode to find out why we are over the moon about this unique mushroom!
