Curious about functional mushrooms but not into complicated prep? You’re in the right place. This guide shows you exactly what to take, when to take it, and how to keep it going on busy days and travel days.
Standard Bliss by Standard Extracts focuses on convenient, functional mushroom supplements—think gummies and chocolate squares you can actually stick with. You’ll see where Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga fit into a friendly morning-to-evening routine.
Functional mushrooms are mushroom varieties people use to support specific wellness goals beyond basic nutrition. Think of them as “purpose-driven” mushrooms often taken in supplement form.
Common examples
How people take them
Start your day with Lion’s Mane. Place a gummy by your coffee mug or breakfast spot so it’s automatic. On days that demand more drive—presentations, workouts, travel—add Cordyceps in the morning, too.
Pro tip: Leaving early? Toss your morning gummies in a small travel tin. Take them in the car after you park or right before you open your laptop.
The early afternoon can dip. If your schedule allows, add a second small serving of Lion’s Mane after lunch for steady attention. If you’ve got a late-day workout or back-to-back calls, Cordyceps can be your midday booster. Keep it simple and repeatable. If midday doesn’t fit your life, skip it. Consistency in the morning and evening still works.
Create a calm pre-bed ritual with Reishi about 60 to 90 minutes before lights out. Pair it with a short walk, light stretching, or a few lines in your journal. If you enjoy a small treat after dinner, a functional mushroom chocolate square marks the shift from “on” to “off” in a cozy, familiar way.
Chaga is flexible. Add it where you naturally remember it: morning with coffee or midday with your water bottle. The key is pairing it with a habit you already do.
Life gets hectic. That’s why functional mushroom supplements shine.
This is ideal for those seeking a routine they can follow anywhere. Be that in the kitchen, at your desk, or while traveling, supplements reduce friction and help you stay on track.
Consistency turns a good plan into a lasting habit. Here’s how to lock it in without overthinking it.
Anchor to daily habits. Tie each serving to something you never skip:
One-line tracking.
Write a single sentence each night: “Sharp focus this morning,” “Good energy through meetings,” or “Relaxed wind-down.” A week of quick notes makes patterns obvious.
Keep a travel kit.
Slip a few gummies or wrapped chocolate squares into your work bag or carry-on. Time zones and packed schedules won’t derail your routine.
Adjust timing to your life.
If mornings are chaotic, move your serving to a moment that’s automatic for you—after brushing your teeth, right before you open your calendar, or when you set your nightly alarm.
A wellness routine only works if it fits seamlessly into your life. That’s why Standard Bliss by Standard Extracts keeps it simple with one powerful gummy and four functional mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga. These mushrooms are carefully combined into three product variations to support your day from start to finish.
Start with clarity and focus in the morning with Lion’s Mane, add stamina and drive when needed with Cordyceps, maintain immune support throughout your day with Chaga, and wind down with Reishi at night. It’s all about layering habits for a balanced, productive day. Anchor your mushroom routine to a part of your daily flow, track your progress, and adjust timing until it becomes second nature.
Now, let’s explore how each Standard Bliss product fits into your routine.
Each gummy contains the perfect blend of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga extracts. These four mushrooms come together in one easy, tasty supplement that can become a part of your morning or midday routine.
The KO Blend gummy line goes even further, offering the same mushroom blend alongside cannabinoid blends like CBD, Delta-8, THC-P, HHC-P, HHC, and CBN. This unique combination creates a convenient, all-in-one option. Common effects include mild euphoria or a mood lift, body calm with reduced tension, and for KO blends specifically, feelings of sleepiness or deep relaxation.
Because of its calming properties, the KO Blend is especially great for evening use, helping you wind down and promoting a restful night. If you choose to use it during the day, start with a smaller serving and see how you feel before engaging in tasks that require focus or full attention.
These gummies are portable and easy to keep in your gym bag, desk drawer, or travel kit, making them convenient for on-the-go use.
We also offer functional gummies infused with Amanita muscaria, a mushroom known for its unique psychoactive properties. These gummies are crafted to provide a mild, calming effect, promoting relaxation and stress relief without intense psychedelic experiences. They are ideal for those seeking a gentle way to unwind after a long day.
Our functional mushroom chocolate bar offers a delicious and familiar way to incorporate your daily dose of mushrooms. Each square is packed with Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga extracts, providing all the benefits of these mushrooms in a soothing treat that pairs perfectly with a relaxing evening routine.
Break off a square in the evening, enjoy it with your nightly tea or reading time, and let the mushrooms support your transition from a busy day to a peaceful night. This chocolate is the perfect addition to your wind-down routine, combining taste with the wellness benefits of functional mushrooms.
