Mushroom tinctures are concentrated liquid extracts created by soaking fungi in a solvent—typically alcohol and/or water. These solvents separate the desired compounds from the mushrooms and leave you with a concentrated liquid packed with nutrients that can be dosed by the drop.
Mushroom tinctures are a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of medicinal mushrooms, such as *Reishi, *Chaga, *Lion’s Mane, *Cordyceps, and more. More than 100 species of medicinal mushrooms are used in Asia. These mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and are now gaining popularity worldwide for their healing properties.
Some of the benefits of mushroom tinctures include:
– Boosting immune system function
– Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress
– Supporting brain health and cognitive function
– Enhancing energy and stamina
– Improving mood and stress response
– Promoting healthy skin and hair
– and many more!
How to Use Mushroom Tinctures for Optimal Results
Mushroom tinctures are very versatile and can be used in different ways depending on your needs and preferences. Here are some tips to get the most out of them:
– Take them sublingually (under the tongue) for faster absorption into the bloodstream.
– Start with a low dose (about 10 drops) and gradually increase it until you find your sweet spot. The recommended dose varies depending on the type of mushroom, but generally ranges from 20 to 60 drops per day.
– Take them in the morning or afternoon for an energy boost or in the evening for relaxation.
– Mix them with water, juice, tea, coffee, smoothies, or any other beverage of your choice. – Experiment with different combinations of mushrooms to create your own custom blends.

What Makes Texas Fungus Tinctures Special?
Texas Fungus Mushroom Tinctures are made from 100% Mushroom Fruiting Body, and processed using a Dual-Extraction Technique.
All of our mushrooms are grown directly in-house, or wild-foraged in the US.
To create our tinctures, we first dry and powder the fruiting body of each mushroom to increase the available surface area for the extraction process.
Next we begin the Alcohol Extraction by soaking the mushroom powder in 120 proof (60%) Sugarcane Alcohol for a minimum of 2 weeks.
When completed, the alcohol extract is filtered off, and then the mushroom powder is simmered in hot water (~200F) for a minimum of four hours. This solution is then filtered again to remove the mushroom powder, and the Hot Water Extract is cooled to room temperature, so it can then be mixed in a 1:1 ratio with the sugarcane Alcohol Extract to create the final product that will then be bottled up.
All of our tinctures are 30% alcohol (by volume) in their final state making them fully shelf-stable and ready to be mixed in any beverage or taken sublingually.
