Their fungal loot could be exchanged with the Shogun for its weight in silver! Hence the name Maitake (dancing mushroom) was born.

Their fungal loot could be exchanged with the Shogun for its weight in silver! Hence the name Maitake (dancing mushroom) was born.
Here in the UK its common name is Hen of the Woods, characterised by layers of caps that are curved like little spoons sprouting from a large tuber-like structure located underground. The fruiting body is a potent source of beta glucan polysaccharides and a compound called D-Fraction, unique to Maitake.
We are the only organic certified UK-native functional mushroom producer currently in the UK.
Etymology
Grifola (intricate or braided) frondosa (leaf- like form). Maitake is Japanese for ‘dancing mushroom’.

Origin
Native to North East Japan, China, North America and Europe. Our Hen of the Woods was found in Wiltshire – our neighbouring county.
What makes Bristol Fungarium’s Maitake tincture different?
100% Organic Certified
The only UK grown organic certified Maitake Mushroom Tincture. All our mushrooms are grown on an organic mushroom farm in the green county of Somerset UK, and are certified by the Soil Association. Our organic functional mushroom tinctures are triple extracted with distilled water and organic UK ethanol, on the very same farm the mushrooms are grown on.
Native UK Maitake
Our Maitake was cloned from a species we found in Wiltshire, UK. As much as possible we utilise native strains, not only to help us get closer once again to the medicine of this land (so much of the knowledge of which has been lost), but most importantly to have as little effect as possible on local biodiversity and ultimately 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 outcompete a lot of the native strains we have growing around the farm.
Triple Extracted, 1: 4 Ratio (Super Strength)
We carry out two hot water extractions and a final organic ethanol extraction to gain access to all the bioactive compounds responsible for Maitake’s beneficial functional prosperities. Many capsules and supplements 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, enable flexible dosage, and are easy to prepare by simply taking one squeeze of mushroom tincture twice per day either directly under the tongue or into a short glass of water.
Fully Transparent & Short Supply Chain
Each bottle of our organic Maitake tincture contains 128g of Maitake fruiting body*. Our Maitake is grown on our organic mushroom farm, where we also prepare the tinctures and pack the orders – meaning origin can be traced back to one location with absolutely no tampering by third parties. Because our supply chain is so much shorter, and we prepare our tincture in comparatively small batches, you can be sure that the extracts you buy from us haven’t lost bioactive compounds due to sitting around for a long time or being shipped halfway across the world. *fresh value
We recommend speaking to a qualified medical practitioner if you are on any medication and unsure of how it may interact.

Chaga
Chaga aka “the king of mushrooms”, has a long history of medicinal use and boasts amazing health benefits, typically found growing on birch trees in cold climates with the appearance of burnt charcoal due to the massive amounts of melanin it holds.
In Siberia, Chaga mushroom is sometimes called a “Gift from God” because of its reported health benefits, including what appears to be a testosterone-boosting effect, which is a vital hormone for overall health.
Chaga also contains various B vitamins, minerals (e.g: calcium, copper, iron, manganese, potassium, zinc), multiple phytonutrients including flavonoids and phenols, and a huge amount of antioxidant compounds. Several test tube experiments have suggested that triterpenes may be the compounds that give chaga its anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, pain relief, and immune stimulating properties.
