In this hands-on workshop, you will learn:
Which mushrooms are considered to be "functional" or "medicinal" to humans
What are the reported health benefits (or downsides) to consuming functional mushrooms
Which compounds that exist in mushrooms are reportedly beneficial to our health
Where to find the latest published research
What is a mushroom "extract" or "tincture"
Single, Double and Triple Extraction methods for obtaining your desired compounds
A repeatable process and formula that you can use to create future extracts
Each participant leaves with an in-process half pint jar containing 80% alcohol of lion’s mane. After a week, you can extract that into a tincture and use it as-is or perform the double extraction step. We will demonstrate three ways to extract and will provide digital links to the step-by-step process.
