A Lovely Lion' Mane Day

11/05/2024

For us, fall in North Georgia means growing Blue Oyster mushrooms outside so we can stock up for the winter.

10/10/2024

Mindfull Mycology's annual autumnal road trip continues over the next couple weeks with three shows in two states.

First up is the Gulf Coast Fungi Festival along Alabama's Gulf Coast, where Sam will present on medicinal mushrooms and speak on a panel about mushroom cultivation.

That same weekend, Sophie will attend and vend at our small mountain towns' annual festival, Gold Rush Days Festival.

The following weekend, Sam will head on over to the annual Alabama Muhsroom Faire for another weekend of vending and connecting.

While we haven't gotten out and about much this year as we've been narrowly focused on extracting, R&D, and product manufacturing for our larger clients, that just means we're even more excited to meet more people, spread the fungal gospel and share the mushroom medicine.

We hope to see some familiar faces, as well as some new ones, over the coming weeks.

We were featured in North Georgia Living Magazine for their Fall issue! Check it out and consider signing up for our mailing list so you are notified when we schedule future mushroom foraging workshops. Our final workshop of the year is this Saturday, Sept. 28.

09/25/2024

We'll be hitting the road this October for our annual ride around the Southeast spreading the fungal gospel far and wide. Gulf Coast Fungi Festival is one of our favorite events of the year to attend! We hope to see some familiar faces come Oct. 18-20!

🌟🍄Now Fruiting: Blended Extracts🍄🌟

For years, people have been clamoring for us to make blended extracts like the popular 6 and 12-mushroom blends other companies sell.

For years, we’ve resisted.

Why?

We’d rather you take one concentrated dose of a mushroom extract than multiple diluted doses.

So, why are we now offering blended extracts?

For one, our blends never use more than two mushrooms. Second, these blends are specifically formulated for particular effects.

People often ask us which mushroom extract to try. Our response has always been the same: what effect do you seek?

Are you looking for a boost in focus, energy, clarity, memory, and cognition?

Try our Flow extract, a 50/50 blend of the energetically stimulating Cordycep and brain-boosting Lion’s Mane mushrooms.

More interested in something to boost your immune system, improve digestion, combat pathogens, and keep cancerous cells in check?

Try our Defend extract, a 50/50 blend of Reishi and Turkey Tail mushrooms.

Looking to improve heart health and lessen the symptoms of Diabetes and pre-Diabetes?

Try our Modulate extract, a 50/50 blend of Maitake and Shiitake mushrooms that helps reduce GI tract and breast cancer risk, aid insulin production, and reduce blood sugar spikes, “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels.

Don’t worry! Our single species extracts aren’t going anywhere. Neither is our ethos.

Mush love,
The Mindfull Mycology Team, aka Sam

📣📢📣 NEW PRODUCT ALERT!!! 📢📣📢

We’re extremely excited to announce a new offering from the Mindfull Mycology lab so many people have learned to love and trust:

🍄 Maitake (Grifola frondosa) Extracts!!! 🍄

With the taste, appearance and aroma of a dark ale or Guinness, our Maitake extract is just like all of our other extracts: simple, effective and potent without any fillers, flavors, colors or crap. Just distilled water, USDA certified organic cane alcohol and USDA certified organic Maitake mushrooms are what goes into this extract.

So, what’s it good for?

Well, the main medicinal compound in Maitake is called Grifolan and has shown in studies to moderate blood sugar levels, aid insulin production and reduce cholesterol and blood pressure levels. In other words, it’s an absolutely perfect extract for people with Diabetes, pre-Diabetes, high cholesterol and/or high blood pressure.

Plus, like so many other medicinal mushrooms, Maitake also helps to boost immune system functioning and combat certain types of cancer.

Available in 1oz, 2oz and 4oz sizes, we only have a limited supply of these extracts for this first run so grab one while you can!

WILD CORDYCEPS!!!

I found my first ever wild Cordyceps mushroom (Cordyceps militaris) a few weeks ago in the southern Appalachian mountains while bushwacking up a forested hill in search of a lost hiking trail. Though I’ve grown hundreds of pounds of Cordyceps mushrooms, it was the first time I’ve encountered them in the wild.

Let this post serve as a reminder that when exploring forests, hiking trails (and life’s more well-trodden trails, metaphorically speaking) are best used as paths to take you to a good spot where you can then leave them and begin the real adventure.

Or as C.G. Jung would have said if he pursued mycology instead of psychology, the Cordyceps you seek are often in the chigger and tick dense forested understory you fear most to enter.

SALE ALERT!!! 📢🚨📢🚨📢🚨📢

Last month, Mindfull Mycology crossed a major milestone...

2 YEARS IN BUSINESS!!

Though we’ve been growing medicinal mushrooms since 2019 and producing high quality medicinal mushroom extracts since 2020, it wasn’t until May 2022 that we truly took the leap, went live with our website and hit the ground sprinting by attending the Georgia Mushroom Festival.

To celebrate what feels like one heck of an accomplishment for this largely one-man band and bask in the glory of what is already shaping up to be one heck of a 3rd year, we want to offer our loyal customers a healthy discount.

NOW THROUGH JUNE 30TH, ALL OF OUR EXTRACTS ARE 15% OFF.

So hop on our site, mindfullmycology.com/shop and use the coupon code 2YEARS at checkout to cash in on this deal. We rarely offer sales like this one so stock up while you can!

🌟🍄📈📢 🍫

After months and months of prepping and planning for our 140 person wedding on the land, one of the most beautiful moments of our lives has come and passed.

What the heck does that have to do with Mindfull Mycology, you ask?

There is now way more time and energy for extractions and business building. I, Sam, am very excited to share a lot of huge developments for the business in the coming months like our new state licensed extraction facility (we passed inspection two weeks ago!), new extraction equipment and processes, and a whole lot more.

Suffice to say, we're not resting on our laurels. Lots of R&D is underway. Our extracts are about to take a huge step up in quality and potency. We'll also be exploring and releasing new blends. Plus, we'll be beginning to test and offer some new more palatable and easy to use products.
🍫🍄🍬

Ultimately, our goal remains the same as it did when we started: Create the most potent, effective and transparently produced medicinal mushroom extracts out there. Think small batch, high end, boutique, Georgia grown and extracted.

Sure, we already offer that. But it's now time for V2, the "new and improved" formulations. We can't wait to get back into the lab, hit the books hard, and make extracts that slap you across the face even harxer thwn before with a dose of zing and huzzah!

Stay tuned!
Sam
