The Chicken of the Woods dual extraction tincture is well on its way so I'm opening pre-orders for those who would like to secure one! Limited bottles will be shipped 9/10! And are offered in 1oz and 2oz sizes. 
This is my favorite wild edible, but as with all wild mushrooms its incredibly medicinal too and requires a certain extraction process.
Chicken of the woods is probably most noted for its anti inflammatory properties. Containing acetly eburicoic acid this can help stop macrophages activation which suppresses inflammatory diseases. Equally rich in exopolysaccharides, this reduces pro inflammatory cells. Its also well known for its ability to boost immune function (modulating not stimulating, great for folks with autoimmune), improving mood, and is anti microbial (anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral). Chicken of the woods is incredibly nutrient rich and loaded with antioxidants like quercetin, kaempferol, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and lanostanoids which I was unaware of previously! All of which support the immune system and neurological function. It's also found to be a great source of protein (packing 21 grams in just a cup!) and vitamins B, C, K and D. This is important because vitamin K and D need to be taken together for the body to utilize it.
This is the first year I've tinctured COW, but treated it the same as all wild mushroom tinctures, doing the initial ethanol extraction in 190 proof, and then completing the process with a water extraction to pull all of the medicinal constituents from this beautiful mushroom 🥰🥰
