Why is it a tincture instead of a powder?
For a mushroom’s medicinal values to be activated and bioavailable, they need to be extracted. Liquid extracts are able to hold and preserve the many bioactive compounds that are released during extraction. Liquid extractions are also easier to absorb than powder, as the body doesn’t need to digest anything, and therefore the medicinal properties of the mushroom can be absorbed right into the body.

Why does Adored Beast only use fruiting body for their mushrooms?
The only way to get mycelium is if you’re growing the mushrooms in a bag. When that happens, it’s virtually impossible to remove the substrate in which the mushroom is grown (rice, oats, etc.). The majority of mycelium that’s out there is coming from mushrooms grown in bags, industrially, not on a log.
Adored Beast mushrooms are all grown IN Nature. In the forest, as Nature intended. You’re not going to dig out a log and pull out the mycelium. The roots weave all into the log and you just couldn’t do that. With mushrooms grown in bags, when the mycelium is pulled out, the polyphenols are not coming from the mushrooms - they’re coming from those substrates. What people are seeing now is these mushrooms have such high levels of polyphenols from the oats or rice - not just from the mushrooms themselves. The other thing about using rice and oats is they have to be sterile, otherwise they’ll grow mold. So then you have to ask how ‘smart’ that mycelium is, because there’s no intelligence coming from the bacteria. We don’t believe it has that ancient wisdom. For Julie, the basis of her mushroom knowledge is coming more from the old wisdom of using mushrooms. This means using the fruiting bodies. The different elders Julie has learned from, those around the world who use medicinal mushrooms therapeutically, use the fruiting bodies. The mycelium is newer science. Until we can be sure people are only getting mushroom - no substrates - we keep to this way.
