Organic Extracted Mushroom Tinctures
Certified Organic Mushroom Tinctures
Triple-Extracted & Third-Party Tested
Extracted slowly, to deliver the best nature has to offer. The mushrooms in our tinctures are carefully steam-processed to start breaking down the chitin in the cell walls, then triple-extracted over about 100 days! First, we ferment them to boost bioavailability of polysaccharides, triterpenoids and alkaloids. Next, comes a hot-water extraction for the polysaccharides. Finally, we do a 90-day alcohol extraction for the triterpenoids and other beneficial compounds.* This is how we make the highest-quality mushroom tinctures possible.

Why We Triple-Extract Our Mushrooms
Since the beneficial compounds in raw mushrooms are “locked” within the cell walls, we process them to ensure bioavailability of those active constituents.* The cell walls of mushrooms are primarily made mostly of chitin, an indigestible material that also makes up fish scales, insect exoskeletons, and crustacean shells. Thankfully, each extraction method is the key to unlocking those different compounds to make them more bioavailable. Due to their unique biochemistry, certain compounds require a specific “key,” or extraction method.
We start with the highest-quality USDA Certified Organic and USA-sourced mushrooms. Then we spend 100 days (or more!) extracting them. First, we ferment them to boost bioavailability of polysaccharides, triterpenoids and alkaloids. Next, comes a hot-water extraction for the polysaccharides.
Why We Use Fruiting Bodies & Mycelium
Simply put, mushroom fruiting bodies are the above-ground parts you can see (including the cap, stem and gills). They’re what you think of when you think “mushroom.” Mycelium are like the “roots,” hidden below ground and stretching far and wide. Both possess their own beneficial constituents, but most high-quality supplements use only fruiting bodies.* We use both. Here’s why.
Mycelium isn’t a dirty word — but it can be. Our trusted partner farmers take things slow when it comes to cultivating mushrooms. Each mycelium grows until it’s ready, no matter how long that takes. A longer growth cycle allows the mycelium to take over the substrate almost entirely. Once we harvest, less than 5% of the growth material remains. That means all mushrooms, zero fillers! The final result is a better-quality extract that captures the beneficial compounds found in both the mushroom fruiting bodies and the mycelium. When growers cut corners, rush the process and give the mycelium only weeks, the final product contains much higher amounts of the substrate (they are filled with mostly grain-filled mycelial biomass)!
Our mushrooms are grown the right way and extracted the right way — with the third-party lab test results to prove it! You can trust our full-spectrum, whole mushroom powders and extracts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tincture?
Tinctures are extracts in a solution that contains alcohol. In this case, it is extracted mushroom(s) in USP Grade Organic Cane Alcohol (no gluten). It also contains filtered water.
Why do you triple-extract the mushrooms in your tinctures?
We triple-extract our mushrooms to deliver the best nature has to offer. This multiple-step process ensures that our products are as bioavailable as possible.
How should I store my mushroom tinctures?
As with all supplements, store your mushroom tinctures in a cool, dry and dark place whenever possible. Keep them out of direct sunlight.
Where do you get the mushrooms for your tinctures?
We have been working with the same trusted farmer partners for over 10 years! Our mushrooms are grown with care, using sustainable and organic methods, in North America. They are USDA Certified Organic.
Can mushroom tinctures expire?
Yes, all of our mushroom tinctures will expire. They have a two-year shelf life. For specific questions about yours, reach out to us: hello@ediblealchemysd.com
Is it OK to mix different mushroom tinctures?
Absolutely! We call this process of mixing and matching custom mushroom blends “stacking.” Experiment with what you like — there’s no one right way to do it, and you can’t do it wrong!
Why do you use alcohol?
Alcohol is used in our mushroom tinctures to extract triterpenoids and other beneficial compounds that are only alcohol soluble.
How do you use a tincture?
Taking a tincture is easy. Simply place a dropperful in a small amount of water, then drink, or hold it under your tongue for a minute, then swallow. You can also add tinctures to your favorite beverage.
Do you test your finished tinctures?
Yes! All of our mushroom products undergo heavy metal testing, mycotoxins and other lab testing. Refer to each individual product page, which will show the product’s COA (certificate of analysis) with the lab test results.
What if I don’t like a mushroom tincture after I buy it?
Our products are all satisfaction guaranteed. You can purchase any product and as long as it is your first time purchasing it, if you are not 100% satisfied, just send the bottle back to us and we will give you a full refund for the purchase price of the product (minus shipping). This is how confident we are that you will love our products!
When should I take my mushroom tinctures?
The best time to take them is when you want to — or when you’ll remember. Some people take them in the morning; others opt for evening. It depends on the person, their intentions and the mushroom tinctures they chose.
