Cordyceps, almond mushroom and fu-ling – three classics of the Chinese mushroom tradition
Espara Vital-Pilze brings exactly these three mushrooms into one vegan capsule – as concentrated extracts, combined in a single formula.
🍄
Three mushrooms, one formula
Cordyceps sinensis, Brazilian almond mushroom (Agaricus blazei Murill) and fu-ling (Poria cocos) – combined in one capsule.
💎
Extract instead of powder
All three mushrooms come as concentrated extracts – not as plain ground raw mushroom.
🧪
Declared polysaccharide content
The cordyceps extract states its content of polysaccharides – the group of complex sugars characteristic of mushroom cell walls.
🌿
Vegan with V-Label
V-Label certified, gluten-free and lactose-free – no ingredients of animal origin.
These three mushrooms, fresh at the supermarket? Not a chance. Cordyceps originally comes from Asian highlands, fu-ling matures underground at tree roots, and the almond mushroom is native to Brazil. Anyone wanting these mushrooms in their routine will find them neither in the vegetable aisle nor at the weekly market – and preparing traditional mushroom decoctions takes time.
This is where the capsule format comes in: the mushroom material is concentrated until one part of extract stands for several times the starting amount – the composition table below shows exactly how much. Dextrin serves as the carrier, complemented by pea fibre and medium-chain triglycerides from coconut.
Behind the formula stands a Salzburg-based manufacturer that has been developing micronutrient preparations since 1996 and has worked with food supplements since 1986. The vegan formula carries the internationally recognised V-Label.

What actually is fu-ling?
Fu-ling is the Chinese name for Poria cocos, a fungus that forms no classic cap. Instead it grows underground as a tuber-like sclerotium – a dense, compacted mycelial mass – at the roots of pine trees. Chinese herbal tradition has used fu-ling for centuries, usually dried and cut into slices. For the capsules, this raw material is concentrated into an extract.
