Mushroom Extract Powders
Mushroom mycelial extract are a highly potent mushroom “superfood” that is stronger than extracts derived from caps alone. Mycelium are the start of the fruiting bodies of the actual mushroom. You can think of mycelium as the “root” from which the body of the mushroom grows, and is generally known to be more potent than the mushroom caps themselves. Our cultivation and extraction process focuses on capturing this highly potent mycelium (although powdered caps will be present in small amounts as well).
Our extracts contain no fillers and are rich in polysaccharides, arabinoxylans, and triterpenes. Beneficial compounds are already made available by the extraction process, so you can simply add the powder to food or drink for an effective medicinal dose. Cooking with mushroom powder will not alter or hinder its potency so it may be added to soups, sauces, yogurt, smoothies, juices, or anything else you are already eating or drinking.
Please note that the overall appearance of mycelium is very consistent from species to species so there are only subtle differences in color and flavor between species.

Please note:
There's a lot of misunderstanding and negative messaging in the mushroom industry about the use of mycelium because of the substrate required to grow it. However, there is a fundamental difference between a SUBSTRATE and a FILLER.
The ‘substrate’ is what the mycelium grows on, and is what feeds the mycelium in its growth. is used to make many well-known superfoods, including tempeh, yogurt, kombucha. In each of these foods, a process of fermentation occurs as the primary ingredient consumes and converts the substrate. In the case of our mushroom mycelium, the organic Sorghum substrate becomes an immunologically-active fermented Sorghum biomass that complements the benefits of the mycelium.
A ‘filler’ is an additive, or an ingredient that either serves to add bulk or weight to the end product, but that has no discernible health benefit. There are no ‘fillers’ used in Healing Spirits Full-Spectrum Mushrooms, both the mushroom mycelium and the fruit body work together for the overall health of the body.
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE
Maintenance: 1 tsp twice daily
Acute: 1 Tbsp twice daily
NOTE ON GLUTEN: Mushroom products are naturally gluten free and are grown in sorghum (a naturally gluten-free grain) however our facility also processes wheat and other grains containing gluten. Extracts are processed using gluten free dedicated equipment with significant attention paid to preventing cross-contamination. However, when growing whole grains such as sorghum in organic fields there is always the chance of “orphan” grains which do contain gluten being harvested as well. Therefore, trace amounts of gluten may be present in the sorghum we use for our extract.
Medicinal Mushroom Tonic & Tincture Blends
Medicinal Tonic & Tincture Blends: These 8 oz packets of carefully formulated dried medicinal mushrooms and herbs allow you to make your own concentrated liquid extract at home. We blend our organic and wildcrafted herbs with organic and wildcrafted mushrooms.
Combine entire bag of herbs and mushrooms with 1 gallon of water in a large slow cooker. You can add organic chicken or beef bones to flavor the tonic if desired. Turn the slow cooker on low and cook for a minimum of 24 hours, adding water as needed to maintain level. For maximum medicinal potency, continue to cook on low for a total of 48 hours. Once cooking has finished, allow to cool. Next strain the mixture by pouring the entire contents through a kitchen strainer into a separate stock pot. Discard herbs and mushrooms. Once strained, ladle tonic into ice cube trays and freeze for convenient storage. Add 2 cubes per day to soup or any beverage. Enjoy!!
