Product Name: Fungus Powder
Common Names: Mushroom powder, fungal biomass powder
Recommended Uses: Nutritional supplement, ingredient in food products, laboratory research
Manufacturer Contact: Provided by distributor or label
Emergency Phone Number: Listed on product packaging
Synonyms: Dehydrated fungi, microbial fungal product, edible fungal powder, reishi powder, shiitake powder, lion’s mane powder
Hazard Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to GHS criteria
Physical Hazards: Fine organic dust may form combustible mixtures with air
Health Hazards: Inhalation of dust may trigger allergies or cause irritation to respiratory tract; skin and eye contact may provoke irritation in sensitive individuals; not known to be carcinogenic
Environmental Hazards: No known significant effects, but avoid uncontrolled release to environment
Main Ingredient: Dried and milled fungal biomass (usually from species such as Ganoderma lucidum, Hericium erinaceus, Lentinula edodes)
Purity: More than 95% fungal matter
Other Constituents: Trace amounts of processing agents (anti-caking silica, calcium carbonate), possible trace nutrients or contaminants depending on source
Chemical Formula: Mixture of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, mineral salts, and water (less than 6%)
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; allow to breathe freely; seek medical advice if breathing difficulty persists
Skin Contact: Wash gently with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing; seek attention if irritation occurs
Eye Contact: Rinse with clean running water for several minutes; lift eyelids to flush thoroughly; medical help needed for persistent symptoms
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; drink water if adverse reaction; monitor for gastrointestinal effects such as nausea or cramping; seek medical help if symptoms develop
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct strong water streams may disperse dust
Specific Hazards: Fine powder may cause dust explosion hazard in confined, dusty environments; burning may generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and irritating smoke
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Firefighting Advice: Avoid inhaling smoke; cool adjacent containers to prevent thermal expansion
Personal Precautions: Put on dust mask or suitable respirator, protect eyes and skin
Environmental Precautions: Keep spillage out of watercourses and drains
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up gently without creating dust; collect in suitable containers for disposal; ventilate area; wash spill surfaces with water if needed
Handling: Minimize dust generation; wear suitable respirator, avoid eating or smoking near product; keep containers tightly sealed
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry place; avoid heat, open flames, or sources of static electricity; keep away from food and feedstuffs
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis
Packing Materials: Food-grade, moisture-resistant packaging such as polyethylene or laminated foil
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established global limits for fungal powder; ACGIH TLV for respirable dust (10 mg/m³ total, 3 mg/m³ respirable recommended as guideline)
Engineering Controls: Use of local exhaust ventilation, dust extraction units, or air filtration where handling large quantities
Personal Protection: N95 or P2 dust mask, chemical splash-proof goggles, nitrile gloves, lab coat or long sleeves; wash hands thoroughly after handling
Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke near material; keep contaminated clothing separate from personal laundry
Appearance: Fine, light brown or beige powder with characteristic fungal or earthy odor
Odor: Mild to strong earthy, mushroom-like scent
Melting Point: Not applicable (decomposes before melting)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
pH: 5 to 7 in water suspension
Solubility: Insoluble in water, partially dispersible; soluble fractions in alcohol or alkali
Density: Bulk density 0.3–0.7 g/cm³
Flash Point: Not established
Explosion Properties: Combustible as a dust under certain conditions
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not determined
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and usage conditions
Reactivity: No dangerous reactions with proper storage; avoid contact with incompatible materials
Conditions to Avoid: High humidity, heat sources, open flames, strong oxidizers
Decomposition Products: On combustion: carbon dioxide, water, small amounts of nitrogen oxides, organic vapors
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: No acute systemic toxicity observed in animal studies at high oral doses (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg); large doses may cause mild gastrointestinal upset
Chronic Effects: No recognized chronic toxicity, but may provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals; rare cases of respiratory sensitization reported
Symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, eye irritation, skin rash in rare cases
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: Not listed as carcinogen or mutagen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Ecotoxicity: No bioaccumulation or significant toxicity expected in aquatic or terrestrial systems; high organic load may deplete oxygen
Mobility in Soil: Moderate; particles settle and break down naturally over time
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable, breaks down by soil microflora
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate
Other Effects: Excessive release could promote microbial growth in water, depleting oxygen and disrupting balance
Waste Treatment Methods: Small quantities may be disposed of with general waste, following local or regional guidelines; large bulk waste should go to composting or biowaste processing plants if permitted
Packing Disposal: Empty containers can be reused or recycled after thorough cleansing
Disposal Cautions: Avoid creating dust during disposal, prevent entry to drains or watercourses
UN Number: Not regulated as hazardous material
UN Proper Shipping Name: Not regulated
Transport Hazard Class: Not applicable
Packing Group: Not assigned
Special Precautions: Transport in sealed, proper containers; avoid rough handling that might tear packaging
Marine Pollutant: Not applicable
Global Inventories: Not listed on US TSCA; generally recognized as food ingredient or natural product
OSHA Status: Not classified as hazardous chemical
EU Regulations: Not subject to classification or labeling under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP)
Label Information: Usual food labeling applies for edible fungi; laboratory samples labeled according to research institution policy
Other Regulations: Must comply with local, national, and international regulations for food, supplements, or chemical substances as relevant
