The season of turning inward
The Autumn Equinox marks the balance point between light and dark. From here, the days grow shorter, the nights longer, and the landscape begins its slow transition toward winter.
On the farm, the tremendous growth and abundance of summer begins to settle. Seeds ripen, roots deepen, leaves begin to fall, and our attention turns toward rest, restoration and preparing for the darker months ahead.
And in the forests around us, it is mushroom season.
Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal mushrooms have a long history of use as restorative tonics, particularly for supporting resilience, vitality and immune function. Different species have their own unique properties, but many are rich in polysaccharides such as beta-glucans and other compounds that have become the subject of considerable modern research.
At Ravensong, our mushroom extracts begin in the forest. We wildcraft the mushrooms we work with ourselves here on Vancouver Island, gathering them in season and preparing them in small batches in our farm apothecary.
Because some important mushroom constituents extract best in water while others extract into alcohol, we prepare our mushrooms using a double-extraction process, combining a concentrated decoction with an alcohol tincture to create a more complete extract.
Explore Some of Our Favourites
Explore a few favourites from our collection of wildcrafted medicinal mushroom and lichen double extracts.
Western Reishi
Traditionally associated with longevity and vitality, Reishi is a restorative adaptogenic mushroom with a particular affinity for the nervous system. It is used to support mood, ease nervous tension and build resilience, while also helping to support and regulate healthy immune function.
Turkey Tail
One of the most extensively researched medicinal mushrooms, Turkey Tail is particularly valued as an immune tonic. Rich in immune-active polysaccharides, it is used to support and regulate immune function and strengthen the body’s natural defences.
Lion’s Mane
Best known for its affinity for the brain and nervous system, Lion’s Mane is used to support memory, cognitive function and mental clarity. Its neurotrophic compounds have also attracted growing research interest for their potential role in supporting nerve growth and neurological health.
