[@DrWhit-vz6nr]

Did you reuse the tinctured mushrooms in your decoction or do equal portion of mushrooms in alcohol extraction : water decoction?

[@FindInNature]

Wow, that's a lot of mushrooms. I like to make it separately. I make the tea when I want to drink it (I've filmed how I make my tea too), and then I add the tincture (the tincture can be store for a long time). I prefer this way because it's less liquid that we have to store. In nature I only use to find three of them: Ganoderma lucidum , Trametes versicolor and Ganoderma applanatum. I think it won't be easy for everyone to find all of those 5 species, even by buying them... but as you said the tincture can be done with only one species. Nice share. Congratulations for your 150k my friend.

How do you know the temperature has not destroyed or changed the molecular make up of the "mushroom goodness" during this process? Certain temps change or decarb, or destroy. Examples: THC and temps or Pscilocybin and temps. Any science papers out there regarding this information for these medicinal mushrooms?

[@paulg687]

Are you able to use a pressure cooker to create the decoction? So something like 2000ml of water pressured in an instant pot for a couple of hours. Then put it on sauté until the liquid gets to the 1500 mark. This would be a lot easier and not involving gas stoves etc. So the process would be something like: 1. Get 750ml of 75% alcohol in a mason jar and put in 150g of mushrooms. You can use 150 proof vodka. 2. Shake for 2 weeks. 3. After 2 weeks, pressure cook 300g of mushrooms in 2000ml of water fo 2 hours. 4. Let it cool and self release. 5. Simmer and stir using the saute function until the liquid is 1500ml. Shouldn't take long to reduce it to 1500ml. 6. Replace the lid and let it cool down for a while until warm. 7. Add the alcohol mix and use a sealed silicone lid. Shake every now and then for 2 days. 8. Strain and bottle. No stoves, no gas, no risk of setting fire to the alcohol, and most of it is temperature controlled with the instant pot so no worries. Set and forget.

[@kennethhathaway3090]

Have you ever tried ultrasound to speed up extractions. I have tried it on aging and infusing alchol using california white oak and with cinnamon bark. It would probably cut your 2 weeks down to 2 hours. Oh I also used it on a stinging nettle tincture. A 4 hour ultrasound seemed stronger than a two weeks tincture. There is also a possible benefit that it might be making nano particles for an easier uptake and bioavailability like it does for liposomal vitamin C. So a win win in my book. You do need to keep an eye on temperature. If you are in oregon washington area I would not mind bringing my equipment to see what you might think. I know it impressed me. Hope to hear back from you.

You can use 100 proof vodka, 50% water 50 % alcohol. That way you get all of her properties.

[@RTFosmark]

That works for a cold water extraction, but you don’t get the benefits of a hot water decoction, which arguably does a lot more because the heat breaks down the chitin and makes the medicinal water-soluble compounds much more bioavailable.

[@paulg687]

Different materials (mushrooms, herbs, cannabis etc) require different strength alcohol to extract the nutrients correctly. You need about 75% for this. 50% will extract something, but not as much as 75%.

Yarrow, thank you for sharing this process! I had a question regarding the freezing method. Would it be possible to do the alcohol extraction first and then strain the mushrooms to be used in a hot water decoction? This would save the freezing step and possible be a bit more efficient.

[@jemmathomas4951]

Hello yes i would also like to see this answer i belived that the freezer was to eliminate bugs but do you then when making the tincture use as frozen or defrost and then dry out?

[@cyberolla]

@@jemmathomas4951 Me too. what i have read on other websites is you can do that. first alc extraction and after that water extraction.

[@sailtulsi7267]

problem with that, from my understanding, is that the alcohol, if more than 25% ABV, will destroy most of the beta-glucans before you can even get them out with the hot water decoction, so hence doing the decoction before the tincture. Also understand that the hot water will also evaporate off many of the triterpenes you’re trying to extract with alcohol, so really it is best to do them separately, and combine by adding the tincture to the decoction, and not the other way around, so as to slowly increase the ABV in the final product up to around 25%, keeping those triterpenes intact. Hope this helps, and makes sense.

[@RTFosmark]

@@sailtulsi7267 Super helpful, thank you!

[@mindyshuman5900]

Thank you for also letting me know how to proof down alcohol that way. Any reason why to proof down to 75% for the mushroom tincture? Would a stronger solvent kill the medicinal properties? Thank you so much. I really appreciate your effort in sharing with others 🙏

It doesn't do that with RSO so I don't think alcohol would mess up mushrooms but good question though? 🤔🙄

My guess is he’s using 75% alcohol so it’s around 35% alcohol by volume when finished.

Im confused, I’ve heard mushrooms and all fungi are structurally composed of chitin while plants are structurally composed of cellulose. Cellulose can break down in alcohol while chitin has a natural resistance to it meaning alcohol tinctures aren’t all they’re cracked up to be but I could be mistaken. I’m new to all of this and for now will just stick to boiling in water as a tea or coffee.

[@o5245607]

Good content. Would you then cut back on the amount of turkey tail used in a turkey tail tincture also or would you increase the amount of alcohol because of the greater volume of turkey tail? Is the 1 to 5 ratio the minimum amount of alcohol to extract the greatest amount of active ingredients of each type of mushroom? I am all about using the least amount of alcohol to get the best result, because alcohol is expensive and I don't drink alcohol other than an occasional shot of tincture which is rarely at all.

[@Mari-pz8qt]

I took a short 2 hour mycology class where the teacher said alcohol extraction is the best way to extract the medicinal compounds out of mushooms because the chitin isn't broken down through any other way. So my question is: why do the decoction if water is unable to break down the chitin to get to the medicinal compounds? Does heat break chitin down?

75% alcohol is 150 proof. Making the alcohol he used to be everclear, it can come stronger too lol. When he puts the water in it dilutes the alcohol and brings it down to 25% or 50 proof. The alcohol acts as a preservative as well so you don’t get no nasty mold up in there. Cheers

[@paulg687]

I saw a 150 proof vodka called Devils Spring. You can even get it in 750ml!

[@FrantasticStuff]

All sounds good... the math is boggling my noodle. I plan to use brandy instead of ethanol.

[@paulg687]

It's not hard - just initially confusing. I posted a comment on how to work it out recently. Check it out. Brandy may not be strong enough. You need something that when finally assembled will result in about 25% to prevent spoilage. I used a brand of vodka called Devils Spring. It's 75% and you can get it in 750ml. Perfect for this I reckon. So when everything is mixed together 750ml of vodka (75% alcohol) and 1500ml of decoction (a ratio of 1:2) the alcohol in the final product is diluted to 25%.

I already make Usnea Tincture and that stuff is an amazing Natural anti-viral, anti- infective solution combined with my Colloidal silver I call them the dynamic duo. We are just getting into the Turkey Tail and Mushroom tinctures. WE have 44 acres full of so many medicinal mushrooms so I am game on. We do have Chaga sorry you do not. I know that the alcohol and heat extraction is the one way that does the best medicinal extraction. I was told that the alcohol soak needs to be 2-4 weeks. In Usnea it is 8 weeks. So I am leaning towards alcohol soak first then strain and now take your very clean water Our well is Mountain Spring tested quality about 70 TDS on a meter. No iron or arsenic nothing but pure goodness. Ingredients are important especially the water. For a 1 quart jar I would then boil 1-2 cups of water and now put the Turkey Tail in that stir for a bit and turn off the heat and leave it steep until room temperature. Strain again and combine the liquids Wa La Tincture made. I then want to take the strained remains and put them on a tray in a dehydrator. Then crush them into powders to make Chocolate powder mushroom mix and capturing all of the medicinal value of the Turkey Tail. Have you ever heard of anyone doing this? What are your thoughts on my potential process?

[@hannahmulligan1103]

Are the tinctures bioavailable at that temperature? Chitin is broken down at 340 degrees Celsius. I think in the hot water extraction tanks, they are 180 degrees Celsius - they sit for 8 hours at this temperature though. I'm wondering if my extract will be just as bioavailable when done on a lower temperature. Or if completing it at a higher temperature will be better? I forgot to ask to, what temperature was the hot water extract done at?
