Always check the source
Fruiting body extract is almost always superior to mycelium on grain. If the label doesn't specify, assume the worst.

Any reputable brand will list their beta-glucan content. No disclosure means no accountability. Walk away.
Consistency beats dosing
A 500mg product you take every day will outperform a 3,000mg product you take twice a week. Build the habit first.
Give it 4 weeks minimum
Mushroom supplements are not caffeine. Results accumulate over weeks of consistent use. Don't judge too early.
