Often over-shadowed by Reishi, Turkey Tail is the most studied medicinal mushroom in the world and shows the most aggression and vitality in the petri dish. While growing any culture, if there’s a contamination (viruses, bacteria, or other fungus like a mold) all other fungi will die and we must toss them out. With Turkey Tail, however, we never have to throw the petri dish out. Turkey Tail always overpowers the invading contaminant and kills it. It is the strongest fungus species I’ve ever worked with. If you’re looking for immune support look no further. I choose new strains to work with based on the growing conditions when I find them in the woods. When choosing specimens I consider the size, the vitality, the proximity to other invaders, and what type of wood it’s growing. We take a lot of pride in delivering to you a solid extract that will actually benefit you. You have our word on that.
All of our mushrooms are first foraged by Clayton, cloned in our lab, and expanded and harvested on our farm, then processed in our laboratory kitchen. Our tinctures are made through a triple-extracted process of fruiting bodies only. No fillers. No “myceliated” rice. We do it the long way, the right way; literally bringing the benefits of the forest to you in a bottle!
Content Notes - Our tinctures are 40% organic vodka and 60% artesian spring water. The vodka is necessary for a couple of reasons:
Preservation. Instead of introducing an inorganic preservative we use the alcohol to stabilize the tincture and prevent it from decaying at room temperature.
Extraction. Some of the polysacharrides are water-soluable and therefore can be extracted with hot water. However, some are alcohol soluable. In order to provide you with the most potent tincture with the most benefits we must use alcohol in the extraction process.
If you’re concerned about the use of alcohol for spiritual, religious, or health reasons:
There are 30mL per bottle. At the recommended usage you will be using only 1mL each day. That would equate to .4mL of alcohol/day. That’s 12mL or less than half an ounce per month.
If you’d like to reduce the amount of alcohol, simply add the tincture to a hot beverage like coffee or tea before adding cream or sugar and let sit for a couple of minutes. The heat will evaporate much of the alcohol before you drink it without affecting the strength or effectiveness of the mushroom extract.
We are planning to create an oil-based tincture in the future but this will be more costly because it will require a lengthy addition to the already 1-year long forage, clone, grow, & triple-extraction process.

“This turkey tail really came through for my dad during his cancer fight. It gave him an extra boost and honestly, made a difference. Don’t know what magic is in that bottle but I’m grateful. Thank you.”
