Toni and Emily engage Joni in an insightful discussion about mushrooms, delving into essential consumer considerations when shopping for their pets. Each mushroom type presents unique health benefits for pets, and Joni provides a detailed exploration of how each variant contributes to specific aspects of a pet's well-being. From immune-boosting properties in Reishi mushrooms to cognitive health support from Lion's Mane, Joni offers a comprehensive understanding of the diverse advantages of different mushrooms. This conversation underscores the importance of informed choices and highlights the targeted health benefits that mushrooms can bring to a pet's overall health.  
Micelated mushrooms typically refer to mushroom extracts that utilize mycelium, the vegetative part of the fungus, as the primary source of bioactive compounds.
