I thought Real Mushrooms was anti-mycelium?

We've never been anti-mycelium. Mycelium is a natural part of the fungal life cycle.

What we've spoken up about is mycelium fermented grain, where mycelium is grown on rice, oats, or another grain, then the entire grain-and-mycelium material is dried and sold as a "mushroom" product.

Real Mycelium™ is different. It's pure Lion's Mane mycelium grown through submerged liquid culture, with no grain substrate and no starch fillers. It's also standardized to deliver 5 mg of Erinacine A per serving.

This isn't a change in our position. It's us offering a mycelium product that finally meets Real Mushrooms' standards for transparency, purity, and verified active compounds.
