Back of Pack

Comparable (90)

These labels say enough to price. Cheapest per gram of extract first. Tick any two or more and press Compare to put them side by side.

Priced, but not like for like (3)

The figure is real and the comparison would not be. A coffee with a token amount of mushroom in it is not a bad supplement, it is a different product, and ranking it against capsules would flatter the capsules for the wrong reason.

Cannot be compared (339)

Not a gap in the table. Each of these is a specific thing the label does not say, and that is worth knowing before you buy.

Quantity not published (162)

We read the label and it gives no figure at all for how much mushroom is in it.

Basis not stated (82)

The label gives a weight but never says whether it is extract or raw equivalent. Those differ by roughly ten times, so pricing it would mean guessing which.

Raw powder, not extract (27)

Sold as ground mushroom rather than a concentrated extract. A 10:1 extract is about ten times the strength by weight, so pricing the two on the same scale would make this look far worse value than it is.

Servings not disclosed (22)

The label gives a quantity per serving but never says how many servings are in the pack, so the pack cannot be priced.

Sold by weight, mushroom content not given (19)

The pack weight is printed, but not how much of it is mushroom. Common for lattes, coffees and blends, where mushroom is one ingredient among several.

Price too old to rank (7)

We know what this pack costs and what its label says, but we have not been able to confirm the price recently enough to put it in a ranking of today’s prices. The figures below are what we last read. It will rank again as soon as we can check the price.

Only a front-of-pack figure (6)

The pack prints a headline figure but the label never says how much is in a serving, or whether that figure is extract or the raw mushroom it is equivalent to. Headline figures are usually the raw equivalent, so we do not price from them.

Linked listings disagree (6)

This listing does not publish the figure itself, and the other shops selling the same product state different figures for it. That is a different pack, a reformulation or a wrong link, and we do not pick between them.

Not read yet (5)

We have the listing but have not read this product’s label yet. This is our gap, not the brand’s.

Held while we check it (1)

This figure is so far out of line with every comparable product that we do not believe it. Usually that means we have misread the label. It is set aside until someone has looked, rather than shown to you as a price.

Under review (1)

We read this label and the figure we took from it was wrong, so it has been set aside. The page will be read again on the next collection run.

Raw equivalent only (1)

The label states what the extract is equivalent to in raw mushroom, but not how much extract is actually in it.
