Organic Cordyceps Mushroom Tincture

(Cordyceps militaris)

Our Cordyceps tincture potentially supports:

  • Energy and stamina
  • Physical performance and endurance
  • Respiratory health
  • Immune function

Cordyceps has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it was prized as a rejuvenating tonic for vitality and longevity. Used by herders in the Himalayas and later adopted by Chinese royalty, Cordyceps was traditionally consumed to boost physical strength, increase stamina, and support the lungs. In ancient times, it was often reserved for the elite due to its rarity and was brewed as a tea or added to broths to support recovery from fatigue or illness.

Double Extracted (1:5)

That’s 1 gram of Cordyceps for every 5ml of liquid.

Our tincture process begins with the extraction of key bioactive compounds, including cordycepin, polysaccharides, and adenosine, which contribute to its ‘adaptogenic’ and energizing effects. We use organic alcohol extraction to draw out the fat-soluble compounds, followed by a hot water extraction to ensure a full spectrum of beneficial constituents. Since some of these compounds are only extractable via alcohol and others only by hot water, a dual extraction is essential for a complete, potent tincture.

We only use 3 simple ingredients in our tinctures… Distilled water, organic grain alcohol, and of course, our Cordyceps mushrooms.

No additives, fillers or any other nasties.

Short supply chain

Unlike many supplements shipped across the world, losing potency along the way, our tinctures are grown, harvested, and prepared on-site. This ensures the maximum strength and freshness of bioactive compounds in every bottle.

Grown and prepared in Cornwall

All of our tinctures are prepared by hand on our farm in Cornwall, using only mushrooms we’ve cultivated ourselves. Each bottle comes with a tamper-evident cap to ensure quality and peace of mind.

Bottle size 50ml.

We recommend speaking to a qualified medical practitioner if you are on any medication and unsure of how it may interact.

  1. Alfie –

    Great presentation and non-invasive addition to my nutrition protocol. I added the cordyceps tincture to an electrolyte drink in the morning. As an amateur endurance athlete, energy and endurance are critical. This tincture is a great option for those looking for a straightforward addition to their supplementation.

FAQs

Tinctures

What Are Mushroom Tinctures?

Mushroom tinctures are concentrated liquid extracts made from mushrooms, typically using alcohol and/or water to extract beneficial compounds.

How do I take mushroom tinctures?

Most people take tinctures by placing a few drops under the tongue or mixing them into water, tea, coffee, or smoothies. Follow the recommended dosage on the bottle.

How much should I take?

Dosage varies by tincture type and individual needs. The recommended daily dose is 1-2 droppers (1-2 ml) per day. That’s 1-2 whole pipettes.

When is the best time to take mushroom tinctures?

It depends on the type of mushroom:

  • Chaga: Anytime for immune support.
  • Lion’s Mane: Morning or midday for focus and cognitive support.
  • Reishi: Evening for relaxation and sleep.
  • Cordyceps: Morning for energy and endurance.

What’s the difference between single and dual extraction?

Single extraction uses only alcohol or water.

Dual extraction (which we use) combines both, ensuring the full spectrum of beneficial compounds is extracted.

Are your tinctures organic?

We source high-quality, organically grown (or wild-harvested) mushrooms for our tinctures.

Do your tinctures contain alcohol?

Yes, our tinctures use alcohol as a preservative and to extract certain compounds. If you prefer, you can mix the tincture into hot tea to allow some of the alcohol to evaporate. All together our tinctures contain 35% alcohol. The whole bottle contains about 17.5ml of alcohol, that’s less than a standard shot at the pub.

Are mushroom tinctures safe for everyone?

Most people tolerate them well, but if you’re pregnant, nursing, on medications, or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before use.

Can I take multiple tinctures at once?

Some mushrooms (like Reishi) may interact with blood thinners or immune-suppressing drugs. If you’re on medication, consult a healthcare professional before use.

How should I store my tincture?

Keep it in a cool, dark place. No need to refrigerate.

How long do tinctures last?

Properly stored tinctures last 2+ years due to the alcohol content.

Why is my tincture cloudy or has sediment at the bottom?

Cloudiness or natural sediment in your tincture is completely normal — and actually a good sign. It often comes from beneficial compounds like polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenes, which are key active components in medicinal mushrooms. These compounds are not always fully soluble in alcohol or water, so they can settle or cause cloudiness over time. We avoid over-filtration to preserve the full-spectrum goodness. Just give your bottle a good shake before each use to evenly distribute the actives.

Dried Mushrooms

How should I use dried mushrooms?

Rehydrate them in warm water for 20-30 minutes before cooking, or grind them into powder for soups and teas.

How much dried mushroom equals fresh?

About 10g of dried mushrooms = 100g fresh (roughly a 10:1 ratio).

What different options do you offer dried mushrooms in?

We offer dried (dehydrated) and dried and powdered.

How do I store dried mushrooms?

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration can extend shelf life.

How long do dried mushrooms last?

Properly stored, they last 1-2 years or longer if vacuum-sealed.

Cultures & Spores

What’s the difference between liquid culture and spore syringes?

Liquid culture: Contains live mycelium, grows faster.

Spore syringe: Contains spores, takes longer to germinate.

How do I store spore syringes and liquid cultures?

Store spore syringes in a cool, dark place (refrigeration optional).

Keep liquid cultures in the fridge for 2-6 months.

How do I use liquid culture to inoculate grain spawn?

Inject 1-2 ml of liquid culture into sterilized grain and incubate at the recommended temperature.

Are spore syringes legal?

Most culinary and medicinal mushrooms are legal, but always check local laws regarding spore sales.

Can I use spores to grow mushrooms at home?

Yes, but they require sterile conditions for best success.
