● Behind Shroomer

Independent and Research-First

Shroomer is an independent mushroom publication. Every week the newest research gets read, checked and translated into Shroom Scan, and the best of it lands here in the study library, species index and guides.

● How It Works

Straight From the Source

Every study summary links to the original paper and names the journal it ran in, so you can check the work yourself.

Evidence, Labeled

Each finding is tagged by how strong it is, from a lab dish to large human trials, so early results never read like settled science.

Corrections in the Open

When something is wrong, it gets fixed and noted on the page. Send corrections to corrections@shroomer.com.

Disclosed Connections

Shroomer's co-founder also co-founded Naturealm, a mushroom supplement brand. Whenever Naturealm comes up, we say so, and we don't rank supplements.
