Editorial Policy

This policy describes how content in The Funglia Journal is researched, written, reviewed, and corrected.

Sourcing

We prioritise primary, peer-reviewed research and reputable government and academic sources. Where an article references a specific study, we link to the original record — typically on PubMed, PubMed Central, or via a registered DOI — so readers can consult the source directly. Citations are checked to confirm they resolve to a real, published record before an article goes live.

How we make claims

We describe functional mushrooms using structure-and-function language, consistent with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). That means we discuss how a compound has been studied for its role in supporting normal physiological processes. We do not claim that any product diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease, and we avoid presenting preliminary or animal-model findings as settled human outcomes.

Review before publishing

Every article is reviewed for both compliance and quality before publication. The compliance review checks claim language against our standards; the quality review checks that the piece is accurate, useful, and clearly written. Content that does not meet the bar is revised or held rather than published.

Honesty about uncertainty

Where evidence is early, small, or mixed, we say so plainly. Accurate uncertainty is more useful than false confidence, particularly on topics that affect wellbeing.

Corrections

If something in the Journal appears inaccurate or out of date, we want to know. Email hello@funglia.com and we will review it. When we correct a substantive error, we update the article.

Editorial independence

Funglia sells functional-mushroom supplements. Our editorial content is written to inform rather than to justify a product. Articles may link to relevant products, but the substance of what we publish is not altered to make a sale. The Journal is educational and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
