AIDP, Inc. has become the exclusive sales distributor agreement for Functional Fungi organic mushroom nutraceuticals. Functional Fungi offers a full line of certified organic, multi-patented mushroom powders produced in its US-based, large scale indoor growing, drying and manufacturing operation.

Functional Fungi’s state-of-the art, cultivation technology creates US-grown, single species mushroom powders or custom blends. Moreover, its mushrooms are grown utilizing multiple patented and patent-pending processes including the use of a high antioxidant (anthocyanin) substrate, purple corn. This is in contrast to other brands, which use inert or nutrient poor substrates such as oat, rice, millet, and sawdust.

Functional Fungi combines an ancient fermentation process with the innovative ByoDry technology that helps preserve naturally occurring polysaccharides. The Functional Fungi mushroom powders also are gluten-free throughout the entire process and the finished product.

Mushrooms contain important, immune-boosting compounds: beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and prebiotics. Mushrooms are adaptogens and act to augment and regulate the body’s immune system while providing support for daily environmental stressors. Mushroom ingredients are growing at a high rate and appearing in a wide variety of beverages, supplements and functional foods.

“We are excited to add the line of Functional Fungi to the AIDP portfolio. This trending ingredient has a wide range of applications for our customers,” says Mark Thurston, president of AIDP. “Functional Fungi provides the highest quality, organic mushroom powders in a wide variety of historically proven strains.”

“AIDP is the perfect partner for Functional Fungi,” adds Jordan Rubin, head of formulation. “AIDP customers align with Functional Fungi and have a great opportunity to include them in supplement, beverage and functional food formulations.”
