Quick Answer: This comparison evaluates four non-melatonin, Reishi-containing sleep gummies — Charlotte’s Web Quiet Sleep, PENGCHI Mushroom Sleep Gummies, Plant People WonderSleep, and SuperMush Daily Sleep — against formula transparency, mushroom species and extraction disclosure, and melatonin/cannabinoid-free status. No single formula is the strongest match for every reader; the right pick depends on whether you want a simple three-ingredient formula, a high-potency dual-mushroom blend, or a broader multi-botanical stack.
How We Evaluated These Sleep Gummies
We selected these four products because each is currently sold as a dedicated, melatonin-free sleep gummy built around Reishi mushroom as a primary or supporting ingredient — the same product category and use case, evaluated on the same terms. Each entry below was checked against its brand’s own published ingredient list and product marketing as of September 1, 2026. Pricing changes frequently across this category and was not independently re-verified for all four brands at publication time; readers should confirm current pricing directly on each brand’s site before purchasing. No independent product testing was conducted for any of the four formulas; all label and ingredient information is sourced from each brand’s own published materials. This comparison contains no affiliate relationships and no paid placements.
The Comparison Framework — Decision Points That Matter
Four factors distinguish these formulas in ways that actually matter to a buyer: how many mushroom species are used (several “mushroom” sleep gummies, this category included, lean on Reishi as the sole fungal ingredient despite mushroom-forward branding); whether individual ingredient doses are disclosed on the label or hidden in an undisclosed blend; whether the extraction ratio or method is stated; and whether the formula is melatonin-free only, or also free of other actives like cannabinoids that some readers specifically want to avoid.
Charlotte’s Web Quiet Sleep Mushroom Gummies
Charlotte’s Web, a publicly traded company best known for hemp-derived CBD products, launched Quiet Sleep Mushroom Gummies in September 2025 as an explicitly melatonin-free and cannabinoid-free formula — notable specifically because it comes from a CBD-focused company choosing to leave cannabinoids out of this particular product. The formula pairs organic Reishi mushroom fruiting body with chamomile flower extract and bioavailable magnesium citrate. It’s the simplest formula of the four by ingredient count, and the brand’s public materials do not disclose individual milligram doses per ingredient, which limits how precisely a reader can dose-check it against research the way we did for WonderSleep in our ingredient dose research article. Available in 30- and 60-count bottles in a strawberry lemon flavor.
PENGCHI Mushroom Sleep Gummies
PENGCHI’s formula is the most ingredient-dense of the four, combining Reishi mushroom, Saffron, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Passionflower, GABA, and Chamomile in a 90-count bottle — overlapping heavily with WonderSleep’s six-ingredient formula but adding Vitamin B6 and Magnesium on top. Like Charlotte’s Web, PENGCHI’s publicly available marketing materials describe the ingredient list without disclosing individual milligram doses per ingredient, meaning a reader can identify formula overlap but can’t directly dose-check this specific product against research the way our ingredient article does for a fully disclosed panel.
Plant People WonderSleep Mushroom Gummies
WonderSleep combines Reishi mushroom (200mg, 10:1 extract) with GABA (88mg), Saffron (60mg), Passionflower (60mg), Chamomile (60mg), and Corydalis (50mg) — the most fully disclosed panel of the four, with exact milligram amounts for every ingredient. That transparency is a genuine strength: it’s the only formula in this comparison a reader can directly check against published research doses, which we do in detail in our independent WonderSleep review. It’s also the only formula here whose marketing includes a widely repeated “4,300mg/serving” figure that, per our dose-math analysis, describes pre-extraction raw-herb weight rather than the 518mg of actives actually delivered — worth knowing before comparing this number against a competitor’s smaller-sounding label claims. Priced at $34.99 for a 60-count, 30-night supply as of September 1, 2026, per the brand’s own site.
SuperMush Daily Sleep Gummies
SuperMush is the only formula in this comparison built around two mushroom species rather than one, combining a 16:1 Reishi fruiting body extract with a 20:1 Chaga fruiting body extract, alongside magnesium citrate and L-theanine. The brand markets these extraction ratios prominently as a potency signal and states its formula avoids mycelium-on-grain fillers in favor of fruiting-body extraction for both mushrooms. As with Charlotte’s Web and PENGCHI, individual milligram doses per ingredient are not disclosed in the brand’s publicly available marketing materials, so extraction ratio is the main potency signal available for this formula rather than an absolute milligram amount.
Side-by-Side: The Decision Points
On mushroom species count, SuperMush stands alone with two (Reishi and Chaga); the other three, including WonderSleep, use Reishi only despite “mushroom” branding across the category. On dose transparency, WonderSleep stands alone with a fully disclosed, exact-milligram panel; Charlotte’s Web, PENGCHI, and SuperMush all describe ingredients without individual doses. On extraction disclosure, SuperMush’s stated 16:1 and 20:1 ratios are the most specific potency claim of the four; WonderSleep discloses a 10:1 ratio; Charlotte’s Web and PENGCHI don’t specify extraction ratios in their public marketing. On melatonin and cannabinoid status, all four are melatonin-free, and Charlotte’s Web is the only one to explicitly market cannabinoid-free status as a feature, which matters specifically to readers coming from — or actively avoiding — CBD-based sleep products.
Serving size and format are worth a note too, since they affect both cost-per-night and day-to-day convenience. WonderSleep and Charlotte’s Web both label a two-gummy nightly serving, while PENGCHI’s larger 90-count bottle and SuperMush’s smaller-count packaging change how often you’re reordering even at a similar nightly dose. None of the four brands in this comparison publish an independently verifiable, publicly posted Certificate of Analysis specific to these sleep formulas at the time of writing — a transparency gap that applies across the category, not to any single brand here, and one worth asking about directly if third-party lab verification matters to your purchase decision.
Which Formula for Which Situation
If you want to personally verify every ingredient dose against published research before buying, WonderSleep’s fully disclosed panel is the only formula here that lets you do that directly — see our dose research breakdown for exactly how those numbers compare to the science. If you specifically want a broader-spectrum, multi-mushroom formula rather than a single-species one, SuperMush’s Reishi-plus-Chaga combination is the only option among these four that delivers that. If you’re coming from CBD-based sleep products and specifically want to rule cannabinoids out while trying a mushroom-based alternative, Charlotte’s Web’s explicit cannabinoid-free positioning, backed by a major hemp-industry brand, is a relevant differentiator. And if you want the widest ingredient spread — seven actives instead of five or six — PENGCHI’s B6-and-magnesium-added formula covers the most ground per gummy, at the cost of the same dose-transparency gap shared by Charlotte’s Web and SuperMush.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is more mushroom species always better in a sleep gummy? Not necessarily — it depends on what you’re optimizing for. A single well-dosed and clearly disclosed Reishi extract, as in WonderSleep’s panel, gives you more ability to actually evaluate the formula against research than a multi-species blend with undisclosed individual doses. SuperMush’s two-species approach is a genuine differentiator for readers who specifically want broader mushroom coverage, but species count alone isn’t a substitute for dose transparency.
Why do three of these four brands not disclose individual ingredient doses? This is common across the supplement industry and isn’t unique to sleep gummies — brands sometimes cite formulation-protection reasons for withholding exact milligram breakdowns. From a reader’s perspective, though, it does mean you can identify which ingredients are present but can’t directly compare the dose against the research the way you can with a fully disclosed panel like WonderSleep’s.
Should I pick based on price or ingredient transparency? Ingredient transparency is the more useful signal for evaluating whether a formula is likely to be effective at the doses used, since price alone tells you nothing about whether a “proprietary blend” delivers a meaningful amount of any given ingredient. That said, price and value should still factor into your decision once you’ve narrowed the field using transparency and formula fit, which is why we recommend checking current pricing directly on each brand’s site before deciding.
