Cordyceps Militaris Tincture - 50ml Dual Extract
Cordyceps militaris
Cordyceps, dual extract
A 50ml Cordyceps militaris tincture made from UK-grown fruiting bodies and prepared in small batches in Dorset. We combine a hot-water extract made with ultrasound and a separate plant-derived ethanol extract.
All our mushrooms, apart from Chaga, are grown locally by Jurassic Coast Mushrooms, based in Dorchester.
Cordyceps militaris produces small, bright orange, club-shaped fruiting bodies, and grows wild in Britain, where it is known as the scarlet caterpillarclub. It is a close relative of the Himalayan caterpillar fungus, which has been part of Tibetan and Chinese botanical traditions for centuries. Today it is cultivated, and it is popular among people interested in active lifestyles.
We extract the fruiting bodies in hot water, using ultrasonic extraction, and in plant-derived ethanol, then combine the two extracts into a single tincture. Nothing else goes in: no fillers, no grain-grown mycelium, no preservatives.

Our extraction process
Every bottle passes through the same careful stages, in batches small enough to watch closely.
Step 1: Selected
Carefully selected mushrooms: UK-grown fruiting bodies, and wild chaga from Finland.
Step 2: Extracted
Extracted in hot water with the help of ultrasound, and separately in ethanol.
Step 3: Combined
Each extract is carefully brought together into the finished formulation.
Step 4: Bottled
Prepared in small batches in Dorset.
How it's made
Fruiting body first
We use whole fruiting bodies rather than grain-grown biomass. Our chaga, which grows differently, is wild-harvested from birch.
Small-batch preparation
Prepared in deliberately limited batches in Dorset, so each one can be looked after properly.
Dual extraction
Hot water with ultrasonic extraction, and ethanol, each draw out different mushroom constituents.
Carefully sourced
Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Oyster are grown in the UK. Our chaga is wild-harvested in Finland.
