Shop is going to open today at 11 am. Beef tallow orders that were to be shipped, have been shipped and the others are ready for pickup at the shop.

Last week I mentioned making a Kratom detox protocol using Liposomal Vitamin C. I have done those and they are printed up, and also ready for pickup.

I think that’s all I got for now. FGM tomorrow 9-12. Closed Sunday and Monday.

Have a great day everyone 🌞

After pouring and putting aside what was pre ordered I gave six 2 ounce jars and two 4 ounce jars left.
I may be making a few Amanita Hair Growth Serums this weekend also, since a couple people have asked

Good morning. Change of plans today, we are going to do a delivery day today.

I have a few requests coming in, from those who missed my last run with Amanita Beef Tallow Balm, and I am going to be making a handful of those today. If you would like to be added to that list, please let me know.

2 ounce jar - $25
4 ounce jar - $45

This stuff is incredible. Zero hint of beef tallow. I add Amanita Muscaria extract, local beeswax, and smells like wild orange. I put this stuff on head to toe.

I’m also going to be doing more lab work. I get requests for kits or noc’d bags often, so I will be running a couple dozen bags of grains, and noc’ing them, specifically with that in mind. When they are colonized, I will make an announcement that I have bags for sale. If they don’t sell, then I’ll just fruit them myself. 🥰

I will be going down to the shop this morning, to grab a few supplies and I will put a note on the door.

Please use the website for non local orders. Or DM me for delivery today.
Please begin to take advantage of the delivery option, also. Our brick and mortar is closing in December, and this will be the main option if you miss me at markets.

We’ve got a few markets coming up in November - with one Saturday we will be doubled down in Farmington. Two Mushroom Zen booths in two seperate places. Looking foward to a busy rest of the year.

One of my favorite things is falling asleep really really early (in last night’s case 6:30 pm), waking up around midnight, drinking coffee, and working in my lab for a few hours before I go back to sleep for another couple hours.
Plate work is where all noise between my ears stops. A place where everything is quiet and steady and focused. And working between midnight and 3 am, brings me back to my days back East and the work that was done before it became (much welcomed) full time work.

Here’s a couple T2 plates. I’m looking foward to sending them to grains in a handful of days. For the non grower, simply put, this is mycelium growing on a Petri dish, and this is my second transfer (T2) from the original liquid culture test (LCT) plate, I did a couple weeks ago. I retest all my culture regularly and once a year make a new quart of it. Us growers do every step of this work, including the sterilization and pouring of the agar in the Petri dishes. So when I say I have to “run plates”, it means I’m making the agar to pour in the plates. My plates are always black because I always use charcoal in my agar.

I’m about to test another dozen cultures right now. 🥰

There’s been an uptick in Goddess Support tinctures, being sold, these last couple weeks. So I figured we’d talk about it here.

Our Goddess Supoort tincture was originally made for women in perimenopause. It proved excellent results to the women who have used it for peri and menopause. But then what we started hearing that it is helping women who experience heavy cycles, painful cramping, and other hormonal changes (PMOS) , have found great relief with this tincture. One local woman, in particular, told me that she went a month without the tincture and noticed a huge difference in that her heavy cycle returned.

Our tincture contains 20 ml of each: Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Shiitake, and Maitake. Each mushroom cultivated here, and dually extracted, this combination offers the relief you’re looking for.
What’s in it?

🍄 Lion’s Mane - helps to eliminate brain fog.
🍄Reishi - helps to battle anxiety and irritability
🍄Maitake - an estrogen balancer
🍄Shiitake - science has shown that Shiitake mushroom can prevent fibroids

These mushrooms will also boost your immune system, take down inflammation in the body, and are natural prebiotics so I always recommend taking a probiotic with your tincture, to get the most medicinal benefits.

With this being said, maybe you need a natural Testosterone booster? We’ve got you covered. Our T-Booster is an effective, proven, natural medicine to boost testosterone in both men and women. A combination of 🍃Fenugreek, 🍃Damiana, and 🍄 Enoki mushroom, this tincture can boost energy levels and stamina.

Each tincture contains 60 doses (2 month supply) and is $40 (plus shipping and sales tax when applicable)

Both tinctures are available on our website at
www.mushroomzen.net
Or you can inbox me here or text/call at 475-731-1178

📨USPS shipping
📨Priority Mail (expected 2 day delivery)
📨Tracking number always provided

We take Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, ApplePay, Credit/Debit.
