How we make them
About Our Extracts
Alcohol-free, solvent-free, made from whole mushrooms and extracted on our own farm in New Smyrna. This is what goes into a bottle and how it gets there.
How the method got here
Every change we have made to how we extract
We did not start with this. Each step below replaced something that was not good enough, and the first one started with a customer telling us so at the booth.
Ultrasound extraction
We dropped the alcohol
A customer at the market told us our first alcohol batch was tough to take, and an extract you dread is one you stop taking. So we rebuilt it around ultrasound: sound waves moving through pure water, drawing the compounds out of whole fruiting bodies with no solvents at all.
Nanoencapsulation
Getting more of it past the first hurdle
An extract is only worth what your body can take up. Six months later we brought in nanoencapsulation, which helps your body take in more of the extract than a plain powder would. Still alcohol-free, in a glycerin base built for cleaner delivery.
Outdoor cultivation
Better mushrooms going in
We built our first shade house and started growing outdoors. Mushrooms that come up through real sun and real moving air grow fuller, and better mushrooms going in is the plainest way we know to make a better extract.
Cryo-extraction
Straight from the harvest
Our Lion's Mane is extracted from fresh fruiting bodies rather than dried ones, and cryo-extraction stabilizes it through sublimation with no heat degradation. This one is a Lion's Mane step only. The wild-foraged mushrooms reach us dried, so neither fresh extraction nor cryo applies to them.
Three things decide whether an extract is any good: what you start with, how you draw the compounds out, and whether your body can use them. We handle all three ourselves, on one farm. When we find something better, we change.
Built to absorb
An extract only works if your body can absorb it
Mushroom compounds are hard for your body to take up, and most products stop once the extraction is done. We kept going past that point. Three things in every bottle work on absorption itself.
- Nanoemulsification
- Nanoencapsulation
- Sublingual liquid
Every step, from the extraction to the dose under your tongue, is there so your body can use what is in the bottle.
No middlemen
No middleman between the mushroom and the bottle
We grow Lion's Mane and half our Reishi on our own farm, and our partner wildcrafters supply Chaga from Michigan and Turkey Tail from Oregon. Every extraction happens here in New Smyrna. Whole mushrooms, no alcohol, no solvents, and a chain of custody we can account for end to end.
Always
- Grown with nature.
- Whole mushrooms.
- Extracted with no alcohol, solvent-free.
Never
- Mycelium on grain.
- Fillers or cheap binders.
- A vague "proprietary blend."
Every extract starts as a whole wildcrafted mushroom, never mycelium grown on grain. You should be able to know where your mushrooms came from.

Come find us in person
Taste one before you buy it
We pour samples at the booth. Come taste an extract, ask what is in it, and buy it from the person who made it. We are at four markets every single week.
Fresh mushrooms sell out fast at the booth. Preorder and we'll set yours aside for market pickup.
