the mushroom alchemist
All the mushrooms used by us are foraged in ancient and temperate woodlands around the UK by our small team of experienced foragers! and we only select the freshest examples and leave any fungi that is young or too far gone to assure the resporing of the ecosystem occurs! Now a lot of these mushrooms cannot be artificially created or grown at home hence needing the delicate balanced ecosystem around them and because of this they are seasonal and some of these seasons are short, so stock will come and go.
On this site you will find that we mostly sell Dehydrated Mushrooms, Medicinal Tinctures. Capsules and Healing Balms.
The current star of the show we have limited stock of is the legendary Amanita Muscaria mushroom (The Fly Agaric) After a bumper season foraging this amazing fungi we created the most powerful Tinctures and healing balms we have ever made! By far our strongest to date for example the 100ml tincture bottles pack on average a mighty 17 grams of dry Amanita Muscaria !!
We make all our tinctures using a centuries old double extraction process this practice has evolved and been refined over time, with evidence suggesting it's been used for centuries, in fact the use of tinctures, have been traced back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, who used alcohol as a preservative for food and medicine.
