Where it began

Built Different

From the Pitch

I entered professional rugby at fourteen. Training, nutrition, recovery, discipline - they weren't optional. They were life. The gym wasn't a phase. Health wasn't a trend. Performance was non-negotiable.

That environment wired my brain. Progress came from consistency. Results came from respecting fundamentals. If you wanted to last, you learned fast how to look after your body and your mind.

The Reset

Injury ended my rugby career. Like many athletes, I had to start over. I moved into corporate recruitment - learning how systems work, how to sell, how to operate under pressure. But the disconnect was undeniable. The work didn't align with the life I wanted to build.

So I walked away. Harvest work, twelve-hour days on a pea viner. Repetitive, quiet, stripped back. That silence created space to think.

The Discovery

The same questions kept resurfacing: How do you sustain output day after day? How do you recover properly? What actually supports cognitive clarity and physical resilience?

Functional mushrooms stood out - not as a trend, but as tools aligned with the principles I'd lived since my teens. Support the system, don't overstimulate it. Build foundations, don't chase shortcuts. That was the start of Naked Fungi.

Designed for Athletes.
Built for Everyone.

Naked Fungi Supplements

Naked Fungi was born in the training room, shaped by the demands of professional sport. Our supplements are formulated with the athlete's mindset - performance, recovery, and consistency above all else.

Every supplement is manufactured in the UK under strict domestic standards. Our hero ingredient - Lion's Mane - is grown right here on British soil. Where we source other mushrooms, we work only with vetted suppliers held to the same quality and traceability standards. We don't outsource accountability.

Most brands in this space rely on marketing - bold claims, flashy packaging, imported ingredients. We took a different path. Everything we make starts with the question a serious athlete would ask: does this actually work, and can we stand behind it?

The result is a product range built without shortcuts. Honest ingredients. Transparent sourcing. A no-compromise approach to what goes into your body - whether your arena is the rugby pitch, the boardroom, or the early morning run before the rest of the world wakes up.

The apparel

Look Good
While You
Feel Good

Performance isn't just internal. The gym is where you put in the work - your clothing should reflect the same standard of quality you demand from your supplements.

Every piece of Naked Fungi clothing is printed right here in the UK. Our accessories are a mix of UK-made pieces and items from vetted European manufacturers - selected for quality, not convenience.

We believe you should feel as good about what you're wearing as what you're putting in your body. Both tell the same story.

Where it's made

Manufactured in Britain.
Sourced with Standards.

Every supplement manufactured in UK facilities. Our Lion's Mane grown on British soil. Every piece of clothing printed domestically. Where we source beyond our borders - for other mushrooms or accessories - we work only with vetted suppliers who meet our standards on quality and traceability.

We control what we can. We verify what we can't. That's the only way to stand behind every product with confidence.

The foundation

Three Pillars

01
Performance

From fourteen in professional sport to building this brand, one thing hasn't changed: performance is earned through consistency, not shortcuts. Designed with athletes in mind - supporting recovery, focus, and sustained output. Built for those who train hard, but beneficial for anyone wanting to perform better every day.

02
Transparency

You deserve to know exactly what you're putting in your body. We manufacture our supplements in the UK. We grow our Lion's Mane here. Where we source beyond our borders, we tell you - and we only work with suppliers who meet our standards. Trust is built through honesty and consistent delivery.

03
Discipline

The fundamentals aren't glamorous. They're essential. Discipline built my foundation in rugby. Discipline built this brand. We don't chase trends or cut corners. Quality ingredients, uncompromising standards, relentless improvement. Day after day. This is the long game.

I started this at fourteen with nothing but a rugby kit and the habits that sport forces on you. Everything since - the injury, the career change, the long shifts on the farm - led here. Naked Fungi is the product of that whole journey. Built properly, from scratch.
