Emerging Markets Report: A Milestone for Mycelium
Underreported D.E.A. Letter and Policy Position Could be a Game Changer for Mushroom Enthusiasts
An Emerging Markets Sponsored Commentary
ORLANDO, Fla., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the Emerging Market Report we are comprised of a team of veteran journalists, authors, former stock brokers, financial professionals, and unabashed opportunists who all come together to publish these tidy missives on our client profiles. We are constantly searching for impactful news that could be gamechangers for the Companies we cover.
And we sure missed a big piece.
So did just about everybody else.
That big piece could be a major catalyst for Hypha Labs (OTCQB: FUNI) which makes the first at-home and commercial patent-pending mushroom ingredient maker of its kind. The elevator pitch is that Hypha Labs is to mushrooms as the clever Keurig was, is, to coffee. Massive potential disruptor in a massive market.
Hypha’s story is already a game changer as it is going to allow the soccer mom at home to make her preferred mushroom ingredient in a simple eight-day cycle. Pop in a cartridge, scan the bar code, wait eight days and enjoy the magic of the mushroom.
Total privacy, no more growing ‘shrooms in animal feces.
But the mushroom industry is a decade or more behind the Emancipation of Cannabis. That cannabis revolution has almost completely come already with weed available most everywhere and a reasonable expectation that the government will change the arcane way it is classified/scheduled at the federal level.
The cannabis movement started simply enough; some vocal folk argued the medicinal benefits AND the economic benefits to states that would listen and states started to go green. Once a few states implemented pro-Cannabis legislation they provided good working test market examples for other states to see that there wasn’t a new filming of Reefer Madness on the streets and there were indeed many a cannabis driven dollar going into the state coffers that could be used for things like better schools and roads.
I’ve buried the lead here but then again, it’s been buried for a long, long time. Don’t kill the messenger.
Here’s the buried bombshell:
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) appears to have taken a firm position that mycelium is ok to ship across state lines, although there are three states which currently don’t allow mycelium to be shipped across state lines. Mycelium is the inactive root-like structure which later becomes a mushroom when it begins to fruit, which is what happens when it is fed nutrients.
That’s pretty good news if you’re a company like Hypha Labs that will ship mycelium across eligible state lines once the retail roll-out of the Micropearls machine goes live. As described, Hypha sends you mycelium and based on your desires and a little A.I. you set your eight day harvest to whatever mushroom crop you’re feelin’.
Here are two sources for the D.E.A.’s position, which of course, come from cannabis sources who know what this means for the mushroom. One has an actual letter from the D.E.A. to the inquiring attorney way down at the bottom of the page. Read that.

DEA CONFIRMS PSYCHEDELIC MUSHROOM SPORES ARE LEGAL
What is absolutely bizarre is we can find ZERO national news coverage other than these industry blogs. And we are good at Googling.
This means you are among the very few who knows about the milestone moment for mycelium and mushrooms and what an absolute gamechanger it is for Hypha Labs and their magical Micropearls.
Editor’s Note: As this article was being prepared for release, breaking news from New Mexico warrants mention. The state’s governor has signed a bill allowing for psilocybin use in the state. As indicated in this release from Hypha, this is a massive step forward to acceptance and a rapidly expanding market for Hypha Lab’s revolutionary Micro Pearls device.
