An adaptogen is an element that helps our bodies adapt - this can be focused on immune response, nervous system, gut, or energetically. It’s a core benefit of most fungi that we use and we believe can be beneficial to most folks moving through the modern world.

Many years ago, sourcing began in deep forests of the Pacific Northwest, far away from contaminants and noise of the modern world. We understand that elements procured from such environments hold the most life force and vitality. Creating foods and medicines from these elements connect us to these pure landscapes and energies. This way of sourcing and creating has only evolved and elevated as we have grown. As with the seasons, some things are available at certain times in abundance and not in others. Within this ebb and flow of nature, we supplement our sourcing with organically grown plants and fungi from our most trusted partners.

Another important thing to note is that we only use the fruiting bodies of fungi as we believe that that is where the most potent form of medicine exists in the mushroom realm.

We hold ourselves to high standards as we continue to investigate, learn and shift as we find new information and the purest elements to put in all of our magical creations.
