Organic Shiitake Tincture

From:

Triple extracted 1:4 Shiitake tincture foraged, farmed and formulated by us.

Shiitake is one of the world’s most recognisable and widely cultivated mushrooms, known for its deep umami flavour and glossy, dark-brown caps. Native to the forests of East Asia, Shiitake grows naturally on decaying hardwood and has been part of culinary and medicinal traditions for thousands of years.

In traditional Chinese and Japanese herbalism, Shiitake has long been used to support general vitality, overall wellbeing, and longevity. Records of its use date back more than 2,000 years, where it was considered both a nourishing food and a restorative tonic. Over time, Shiitake cultivation became a respected craft, and the mushroom was prized enough to be given as gifts to emperors.

What makes Bristol Fungarium's Shiitake tincture unique?

 

100% Soil Association Organic Certified

The first UK-grown organic certified Shiitake Mushroom Tincture. All our mushrooms are grown on our organic mushroom farm in the green county of Somerset, UK with absolutely no use of GMO, pesticides or herbicides. We are organic certified by the Soil Association.


UK-Native Strain 

As much as possible we utilise native strains, not only to help us get closer once again to the of this land – where so much of the knowledge has been lost – but most importantly to have as little effect as possible on local biodiversity and tread as lightly as possible on the Earth. By prioritising native strains we are avoiding the spread of billions of spores that come from commercial mushroom strains that have been selected specifically for their ability to grow fast and fruit heavily, and will therefore easily out compete a lot of the native strains we have growing around the farm.


Farmed & Formulated in Somerset, UK

Once cloned in our lab and successfully inoculated, the substrate transforms into healthy myceliated blocks when they are moved from incubation to the fruiting chamber. Then we harvest, dehydrate, grind, and then extract using plant-derived alcohol. Once ready, the carefully crafted tinctures are packed and posted. Everything happens under one roof meaning origin is fully traceable with no tampering by third parties.


Third Party Tested

We don’t rely solely on our own internal checks. Every batch is sent to an independent laboratory where qualified analytical chemists run a full panel of tests. They confirm the exact active compounds, assess the potency, and check for consistency from batch to batch.


Triple Extracted, 1:4 Ratio (Super Strength)

Many supplements on the market are shipped across the world in powder form as it is a more commercially viable way of transporting extracted products. However, our tinctures are prepared on-site at a 1:4 ratio (1g of mushrooms to every 4ml of water). Tinctures have a longer shelf life than capsules, provide a faster absorption rate and enable flexible dosage.


Fully Transparent & Short Supply Chain

Each bottle of our organic Shiitake tincture contains 128g of Shiitake fruiting body*. Because our supply chain is intentionally short and our batches are kept small, the extracts reach you quickly and at their freshest. That means the bio-active compounds remain potent - not degraded from months in storage or long-distance shipping.

Ingredients

This Shiitake tincture is made simple and strong, with just three ingredients: our organic mushrooms, purified water and alcohol.

Origin

Shiitake is native to East Asia.

Folklore

Once upon a time in China & Japan, logs inoculated with Shiitake during a child's birth would mature with them into adulthood, when they would inherit the ‘fortune in their backyard'. This made shiitake a highly prized possession, which families would regularly rob from one another - leading to what was known as a ‘shiitake war’.

Etymology

From Japanese, 'shii' denoting a kind of oak, and 'take' meaning ‘mushroom’.

FAQS

How much tincture should I take?

We suggest a daily dosage of 1-2ml. This can be either taken all at once (suggested in the morning around 15 mins before food) or distributed throughout the morning and afternoon as preferred.

How should I consume it?

You can consume your tincture in many ways - be it undiluted or in a drink or food. We
recommend taking your tincture in water or fruit juice, ideally alongside a meal. This method is thought to be the best for absorption. Whatever fits your lifestyle and makes it easy to enjoy, some may even wish to add them into soups, salad dressings or smoothies
for additional medicinal benefits at mealtime.

There are 50x 1ml servings per 50ml bottle. Taking the recommended dose of 1-2ml daily means a bottle will last between 25-50 days.
