MycoPure® Huaier Extract – Trametes robiniophila Murrill

A standardized extract powder derived from the fruiting bodies of Trametes robiniophila Murrill (Huaier), provided as a laboratory and research reagent—not a food, not a dietary supplement, not a drug.

Analytical quality – every batch certified

Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization prior to shipment. The most important parameters are:

• β-glucans: At least 42% – each batch is individually tested, and no batch falls below this level. [View analysis]

• Polysaccharides (total glucan): 67.9% [View analysis]

• α-Glucans: [View analysis]

• Amino acid profile: Created and documented on a batch-specific basis [View analysis]

• Ergosterol: Fungus-specific sterol, vitamin D precursor – serves as a quality indicator for the raw material [View analysis]

• Environmental Analysis: Heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbiological parameters – evaluated by the GBA (Society for Bioanalytics) [View analysis]

Backing material: as little as possible

Every extract powder requires a carrier material for stabilization—without it, a stable powder cannot be produced. This extract uses maltodextrin, with a content of only 

This extract contains maltodextrin, accounting for only 6.2% —which means 93.8% pure extract.

For comparison: The product from Gaitianli used in the current clinical trials contains 25.1% maltodextrin. [View analysis]

What is the Huaier mushroom?

Huaier (Chinese: 槐耳) is the traditional name for Trametes robiniophila Murrill, a wood-decaying polypore fungus of the family Polyporaceae. The fungus grows primarily on black locust and other deciduous trees in warm to subtropical regions, where it causes white rot. It has been the focus of scientific research in natural product chemistry for decades.

Taxonomy & Synonyms

Trametes robiniophila Murrill is known by several scientific names: Vanderbylia robiniophila, Polyporus robiniophilus, Perenniporia robiniophila, Poria robiniophila. Family: Polyporaceae.

Frequently Asked Questions About Huaier Mushroom Extract

What is the Huaier mushroom?

Huaier is the traditional Chinese name for the fungus Trametes robiniophila Murrill. It belongs to the Polyporaceae family and grows primarily on black locust trees and other deciduous trees. It has been the subject of scientific research in the field of natural product chemistry for decades.

What is the difference between the Huaier mushroom and Trametes robiniophila?

Huaier is the common Chinese trade name. Its scientific name is Trametes robiniophila Murrill. Other taxonomic synonyms include Vanderbylia robiniophila, Polyporus robiniophilus, and Perenniporia robiniophila.

What is the β-glucan content of this extract?

At least 42%. Each batch is analyzed individually—no batch that falls below this threshold is shipped. The batch-specific analysis data is available upon request.

What are β-glucans?

β-glucans are plant- and fungus-derived polysaccharides that are the subject of intensive research in natural product chemistry. In fungal extracts, they are considered a key group of marker compounds for analytical quality assessment.

Does this product contain maltodextrin?

Yes, 6.2%—the minimum percentage technically required to stabilize the extract powder. That corresponds to 93.8% pure extract.

Why does the extract contain maltodextrin in the first place?

Without a carrier, it is impossible to produce a stable extract powder. Maltodextrin is the most commonly used and best-tolerated carrier. At 6.2%, the concentration in this product is exceptionally low—by comparison, the Gaitianli reference product used in clinical trials contains 25.1%.

Who is this product intended for?

For scientific, analytical, and research purposes only. This product is not a food, dietary supplement, or medicine.

How should the product be stored?

Store in a dry place, protected from light, and at room temperature. The powder is hygroscopic and must not be frozen.
