What Is Micro Dot and Who Is the Simple Vape Brand Behind It?
Micro Dot is a functional mushroom edible brand produced by Simple Vape, operating under Simple Brands — the alternative product company that also manages Hixotic, Dome Wrecker and Rave Kratom in the hemp and alternative retail market. This parent company context matters because it explains how Micro Dot achieves the distribution scale it does without a standalone brand website: Simple Brands distributes through established retail networks including Green Dragon CBD, SMOKEA, Delta 8 Resellers and ProCannabis. Simple Vape produces Micro Dot under the positioning that mushrooms should be as convenient as any other supplement — the brand tagline is "Mushrooms have never been so convenient." That is not a claim about what the mushrooms do. It is a statement about the format: pre-dosed, portable, flavored and ready without preparation.
ShrooMap.com, a dedicated mushroom product review and rating platform, lists Micro Dot among the top-tier legitimate brands in its 2026 Best Microdose Brands guide — meeting all three legitimacy markers the guide requires: published compound content per unit (Reishi, Chaga and Lion's Mane named on the label and confirmed on the COA), Certificate of Analysis available on request per batch and consistent batch-level dosing across production runs. This places Micro Dot alongside Wunder, Silly Dots and Road Trip as brands that ShrooMap distinguishes from the unverified gas-station mushroom product category where ingredient disclosure and COA availability are inconsistent. For buyers choosing between dozens of mushroom tablet brands with similar packaging, the ShrooMap top-tier ranking is the most practical third-party signal available.
What Are the Micro Dot Functional Mushrooms — Reishi, Chaga and Lion's Mane vs Psilocybin?
Every Micro Dot product — chocolate bar and tablet — is built on three functional mushrooms: Reishi, Chaga and Lion's Mane. These are not psilocybin-containing species and they produce no psychedelic effects through psilocybin or tryptamine pathways. Understanding this distinction is the most important piece of information for any buyer approaching the Micro Dot brand for the first time.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum): A bracket fungus documented in published research for its beta-glucan content — complex polysaccharides studied for immune system modulation and adaptogenic stress response. Reishi has been used in East Asian traditional medicine for over 2,000 years and is one of the most clinically studied functional mushrooms. It contains no psilocybin, no muscimol and no psychoactive alkaloids.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus): A parasitic fungus growing on birch trees, documented for the highest antioxidant activity of any measured food or supplement including melanin-based compounds and superoxide dismutase — an enzyme that neutralises reactive oxygen species in mitochondria. Chaga is an adaptogen with no psychoactive properties.
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus): The most extensively studied functional mushroom in the neuroregenerative literature. Lion's Mane contains hericenones and erinacines — compounds documented in published research for their association with Nerve Growth Factor stimulation. NGF is involved in the maintenance and regeneration of neurons. This is why Lion's Mane appears in nootropic formulations and why Micro Dot names the blend "Proprietary Nootropic Blend" — the naming references the cognitive and neural research literature, not a psychedelic effect claim.
Micro Dot markets its tablet products with experiential language — "trippy vibes," the Vibe/Flow/Trip/Melt dosing scale, "consciousness-expanding effects" — as a positioning choice targeting buyers who want a pronounced mushroom experience. The compound basis remains these three legal, non-scheduled functional mushrooms. At higher doses, functional mushroom extracts can produce more pronounced perceptual shifts without the psilocybin pathway, which is the effect Micro Dot positions the Melt (two-tablet) dose around. All Micro Dot products are legal, ship federally and are third-party lab tested confirming no psilocybin and no scheduled compounds.
What Is in the Micro Dot Mushroom Chocolate Bar — Belgian Chocolate, the Dubai Chocolate Trend and Why It Is Not Vegan?
The Micro Dot Mushroom Chocolate Bar is 8g of Belgian chocolate divided into 15 equal squares — one square per serving, 15 servings per bar. No THC. No psychoactive compounds. The functional mushroom content is the Proprietary Nootropic Blend (Reishi, Chaga and Lion's Mane) integrated into the chocolate base. Full ingredient list: Cocoa Mass, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk, Soy Lecithin, Sunflower Oil, Palm Oil, Pistachios, Enriched Wheat Flour, Corn Starch, Whey, Lactose, Natural Colors (Anthocyanin, Curcumin), Natural Flavors, Salt, Proprietary Nootropic Blend. Contains tree nuts. Made in a facility that processes tree nuts. Third-party lab tested per batch.
Critical allergen note: The Micro Dot Mushroom Chocolate Bar is not vegan despite widespread retailer descriptions stating otherwise. The ingredient list contains Milk, Whey and Lactose — three dairy-derived ingredients that make this bar unsuitable for vegan buyers or those with dairy intolerance. Multiple competing retailers incorrectly list the bar as vegan. Buyers who require vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free formats should choose the Micro Dot Tablets instead — the tablet formula contains no dairy, no gluten and no sugar. The bar also contains Soy Lecithin (soy) and Enriched Wheat Flour (gluten).
Four flavors, each with a distinct character:
Dark Chocolate Sea Salt: Rich bittersweet dark chocolate with sea salt crystals — the most classic combination and Micro Dot's most flavour-forward option for buyers who want the chocolate character to lead rather than a sweet base.
Dubai Chocolate: Micro Dot's entry into the viral Dubai chocolate trend — the pistachio and kadayif-based Belgian chocolate format created by Fix Chocolatier in Dubai in 2021 that exploded on social media in 2023 and has since appeared at Trader Joe's, IHOP, Costco and Starbucks globally. Micro Dot's mushroom version delivers the trending pistachio-forward milk chocolate with the functional mushroom stack embedded — putting Reishi, Chaga and Lion's Mane inside the most searched chocolate format of 2024-2025. For buyers who found the Dubai chocolate trend on social media and are also curious about functional mushrooms, this is the intersection product.
Hot Cocoa Crunch: Nostalgic milk chocolate with a crispy cereal texture — the comfort-forward option in the Micro Dot lineup for buyers who want a familiar warm cocoa profile with added texture.
Strawberry Shortcake: Belgian white chocolate with strawberry flavoring — the sweetest, most candy-forward option. White chocolate base rather than dark or milk. The choice for buyers who want the least chocolate-forward flavour profile in the range.

What Are Micro Dot Mushroom Tablets and How Does the Vibe, Flow, Trip and Melt Dosing Scale Work?
The Micro Dot Mushroom Tablets are sublingual chewable discs — the same formula in both the 2-count and 10-count packs. Vegan, sugar-free and zero calories. Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Silicon Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate, Dicalcium Phosphate, Monkfruit Natural Coloring, Natural Flavors, Proprietary Nootropic Blend (Reishi Extract, Chaga Extract, Lion's Mane Extract). Three flavors: Magic Mint (cool herbal mint), Mandarin Dream (citrus-forward, zesty), Berry Blast (sweet-tart berry mix). Can be dissolved sublingually for faster absorption or chewed and swallowed through standard gastrointestinal processing.
Micro Dot uses four named experience levels as its dosing guide — a practical framework for buyers calibrating their personal response:
Vibe — ½ tablet: The entry dose. Micro Dot positions this as a subtle functional mushroom shift — a mild perceptual change appropriate for first use or for buyers who want the lowest-intensity experience. Half a tablet is the universally recommended starting point for any buyer new to Micro Dot or new to functional mushroom tablets.
Flow — 1 full tablet: The standard single-unit dose. Micro Dot positions this as the primary intended experience — the functional mushroom effect at its core intensity. Most buyers who have established their Micro Dot tolerance land here as their regular dose.
Trip — 1.5 tablets: An elevated dose for experienced Micro Dot users who have established their response at the Flow level and want more pronounced effect. Micro Dot positions this as the intensified experience — not a recommendation for first-time use.
Melt — 2 full tablets: The maximum dose per session. Micro Dot positions this as the full-intensity experience for established users only. Do not exceed two tablets in any single session. Individual response varies substantially by body weight, metabolism and prior functional mushroom experience — Micro Dot states onset is typically 20 minutes to one hour after ingestion, with peak effects within one to three hours.

Micro Dot Chocolate Bar vs Micro Dot Tablets — Which Format Should You Choose?
Both formats use Reishi, Chaga and Lion's Mane as the active mushroom content. The choice is about delivery base, dietary needs and dose control — not potency tier. The chocolate bar and the tablets are not different strengths. They are different consumption formats.
Choose the Chocolate Bar if: You want an edible format that is genuinely enjoyable as food, not just a supplement. Belgian chocolate with a functional mushroom stack is a real sensory experience — particularly the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt and Dubai Chocolate variants. One square per serving, break from the bar. You are not vegan or dairy-intolerant. You want a choice from four distinct chocolate flavour profiles including the trending Dubai Chocolate format. The bar contains Milk, Whey and Lactose — confirm this before purchasing if dairy is a concern.
Choose the Tablets if: You are vegan, avoid dairy or need gluten-free. You want zero sugar and zero calories in the delivery base. You want sublingual absorption rather than full chocolate digestion. You want the cleaner dose precision of the Vibe/Flow/Trip/Melt scale where each level is a defined tablet increment. The 2-count pack at ProCannabis is the trial format — the lowest commitment purchase for first-time Micro Dot buyers. The 10-count pack is the ongoing supply format delivering 20 half-tablet servings for buyers who have established their preferred dose. Browse every high-dose and functional mushroom edible at ProCannabis for the full Micro Dot format range.
