What Makes Our Deep Work Bundle Work?
Share
Anyone whose day asks for real thinking, for hours at a time.
A thesis. A long piece of code. A business plan. Pages of research. A difficult project that cannot be finished between two meetings.
Some days are simply built around long stretches of work. Deep Work brings together two very different mushrooms for people whose routines look like that.
🍄 What It Actually Is
Deep Work pairs Lion's Mane with Cordyceps. Two mushrooms from very different environments, brought together in one bundle.
Lion's Mane grows on damaged and dying hardwood across Europe, Asia, and North America. Its white fruiting body is covered in long hanging spines. Cordyceps is a very different story. The wild species grows high on the Tibetan Plateau and Himalayas and has one of the strangest life cycles in the fungal world.
The two also have different histories. Lion's Mane has been eaten as food in East Asia for centuries and is known as Houtougu in China and Yamabushitake in Japan. Cordyceps has a long history in the regions where it grows and is now also produced through controlled cultivation.
Valdspore combines the two in a simple daily bundle. One bottle of Lion's Mane and one bottle of Cordyceps, each with 100 ml of liquid extract.
🌳 Why These Two?
The idea behind Deep Work is not that the two mushrooms do the same thing. They are simply two very different extracts that make sense beside each other for a certain kind of day.
Lion's Mane is a mushroom people often encounter in the context of reading, writing, studying, research and creative work. It is one of the more extensively studied functional mushrooms and contains compounds including hericenones, erinacines and beta-glucans.
Cordyceps comes from a completely different place. Its wild form develops in association with moth larvae high in the mountains, while commercial strains are cultivated under controlled conditions. Valdspore uses Cordyceps sinensis CS-4.
That makes the pairing quite straightforward. One mushroom associated with long stretches at the desk. Another with a long history and very different place in the fungal world.
Two extracts. Two origins. One bundle for a particular kind of day.
🌿 Who It's Actually For
Deep Work can be a good fit for students working through long study and reading blocks. Developers spending an afternoon inside a codebase. Founders moving between research, planning and writing. Designers, editors and writers with a large project in front of them. Researchers reading through papers. Anyone preparing for a difficult exam, writing a thesis, or sitting down to something that will take several hours.
The work itself can look completely different. The common thread is the routine: long periods at a desk, fewer interruptions, and enough time set aside to finish something properly.
If your days are built around that kind of work, this is the bundle built around your routine.
☘️ How To Use It
Take 3 mL per day of each extract, equal to three full droppers of Lion's Mane and three full droppers of Cordyceps.
The extracts can be taken directly or mixed into a drink. The two bottles each contain 100 ml, giving approximately 33 days of use at the stated daily amount.
Both extracts are alcohol-free and naturally preserved with citric acid and rowan berry extract. They are certified organic under EE-ÖKO-03 and free from all major allergens.
Once opened, keep both bottles refrigerated and use them within 45 days.
🌲 Two Mushrooms, One Long Day
Lion's Mane grows on hardwood. Cordyceps begins its wild life high in the mountains. They could hardly look more different.
One bottle of each makes the Deep Work bundle.
For long days at the desk. Long pages. Long projects. Work that takes time.
