Pheasant Backs are also known as Dryad's Saddle, or Ceriporus squamosus. When fresh they have a texture like tofu and take well to other flavors. I like to use the dried mushrooms to flavor soup stocks. It is especially tasty to make a vegan dashi stock by cooking dried pheasant backs with kombu seaweed.

Bear corn, Conophlis americana, or cancer-root, is a non-photosynthesizing plant that grows from the roots of oak and beech. There are places in the US where it's not common, but we harvest from flourishing patches here in Ohio. It's known for relieving a lot of painful menstruation symptoms and general pelvic cramping. My partner has endometriosis and it's their favorite tea for cramp relief, mixed with some raspberry leaf and angelica root. Young stems have a powerfully astringent taste when fresh, but are incredibly mild in a tea. We recommend boiling a few dried stems on their own before adding some more exciting flavor to your tea. We have also noted that this is another slow medicine that your body might need to acclimate to. My partner's first two cups provided no relief, but the next day the tea worked substantially well.&nbsp;

Dried and ground up reishi (Ganoderma tsugae). We like to add it to our coffee grounds in the morning or throw some in soup broth. It has a mild taste in small quantities.Reishi is a term that's used for a specific Lingzhi species of Ganoderma native to east Asia, but also used to encompass all Ganoderma species&nbsp;used medicinally. Ganoderma mushrooms are very closely related: different species are very difficult to tell apart. Some species are only differentiated by&nbsp;where&nbsp;they grow with no other distinguishing features. Ganoderma&nbsp;Lingzhi has been the subject of study and use for centuries in Chinese medicine, but we use our locally-growing Gandermas knowing that they also have medicine. Reishi mushrooms are especially known to help regulate the immune system, both reducing inflammation from an over-active immune response (including seasonal allergies) and stimulating under-functioning immunity. There are related claims of&nbsp;anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties, as well as claims to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and regulate blood sugar. Reishi is also helpful in managing energy and sleep.

Dual-extraction uses both water and alcohol to extract all kinds of medicine from these mushrooms. The resulting taste and smell of musty chocolate in alcohol are moderate strength and take a little getting used to.&nbsp;

The tincture inside is still exactly the same!﻿Turkey-tail mushroom is a mild medicinal mushroom that is good at helping your body regulate a lot of its systems,&nbsp;particularly those related to digestion. It's known for reducing general inflammation, helping your gut sort helpful and harmful bacteria thus reducing infections, regulating blood sugar, and general immune system support. As a mild medicine, it's best taken every day. My partner usually takes one full dropper every morning when they know their gut is going to need some extra help.&nbsp;Dual-extraction uses both water and alcohol to get as much medicine out of the mushroom as possible, as each solvent dissolves different compounds. While turkey tail has a mild orange-vanilla smell, the final extraction does taste and smell like watered-down alcohol.&nbsp;
