The Yield Growth development team has been working to create additional products to add to the company’s base catalogue of edible mushroom formulas acquired on October 10, 2019. Through its subsidiary, Flourish Mushroom Labs, it intends to commercialize its edible mushroom catalogue, going to market first with mushroom-based soups and coffees.
The mushroom coffees will be infused with various wild mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi, Shitake, Chagas and Cordyceps. Yield Growth plans to begin testing the coffees in the next quarter for market launch in the first half of 2020.
The global functional food market is forecasted to reach USD 34.3 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 8.04% during the forecast period (2019-2024), according to a report by Research and Markets.
A press release by Fortune Business Insights on October 21, 2019 entitled, “Why the Functional Mushrooms Market is set to explode…” states that it has released a report predicting that the global functional mushrooms market is expected to gain momentum from growing awareness regarding the health benefits of mushrooms. According to the report summary, “Functional mushrooms due to their several functional properties can be utilized in the production of functional food products, medicines, and cosmetic products. The product is rich in antioxidants hence can offer skin-enhancing benefits, aid immune and digestive function, and can balance the energy level. Anticipated growth in consumption of dietary supplements to remain healthy and disease-free is projected to propel the demand for functional mushrooms during the forecast years. Rapid urbanization, changing lifestyles, and increasing per capita income of people is anticipated to aid the growth of the global functional mushrooms market in the upcoming years.”
“We are excited about the growing consumer interest in legal edible mushrooms and intend to launch our coffee products in Canada and the U.S. in 2020, using some of the distribution channels we have developed for our hemp products ,” says Penny White, Yield Growth CEO. “Beyond functional mushrooms, we are also interested in how magic mushroom induced psychedelic states of mind may have therapeutic benefits.”
According to The New York Times, on September 4, 2019 Johns Hopkins Medicine announced the launch of the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research to study compounds like LSD and psilocybin to treat a range of mental health problems, including anorexia, addiction and depression. The center is the first of its kind in the country, established with $17 million in commitments from wealthy private donors and foundations. CNBC says that investors are starting to bet big on psychedelic medicine with ATAI Life Sciences completing a $40 million round in March 2019 at a $240,000,000 valuation. The market for mushroom products, both functional and psychedelic, represents a massive opportunity for wellness companies, and Yield Growth is poised to take part in this rapidly growing sector.
