About the Extracts

Do your extracts contain magic mushrooms (psilocybin)?

No. Our extracts are made from legal, non-psychoactive functional mushrooms only. They do NOT contain psilocybin or any psychoactive compounds.

Are the mushrooms organic?

Yes. All mushrooms used in our tinctures are certified organic and grown in controlled, traceable environments. Most are cultivated at our partner farm in Finland; some varieties (like our current Maitake batch) are sourced from certified organic growers in the Netherlands. Chaga, however, only grows in the wild and is sustainably foraged from Finnish birch trees.

Are your tinctures safe?

Yes. Every batch is produced in a certified facility and tested by accredited third-party laboratories for microbiological purity and heavy metals. Only batches that meet strict safety specifications are bottled.

How do I use the extracts?

Our extracts couldn't be easier to use - simply add a few droppers to any beverage, such as coffee, tea, smoothies, or water. You can also add them to soups & sauces.

Are these fruiting-body mushrooms?

Yes. Our extracts are made from fruiting bodies (the actual mushroom) only - not mycelium.

Are these tinctures legal?

Yes. Our extracts contain only legal, food-grade mushrooms, organic alcohol & water. They comply with Swiss and European food regulations.

What are functional mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms are varieties valued for their unique nutritional profile and naturally occurring compounds. They are non-psychoactive and have been used traditionally in many cultures.

About the Cookies

Are your cookies gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. All of our cookies are naturally gluten-free and vegan, made without dairy, eggs, or wheat.

Do the cookies contain mushroom extracts?

Yes - our cookies are enhanced with mushrooms & adaptogens such as Lion’s Mane, Maca root, Maitake, and Shiitake. They are completely non-psychoactive and used as food ingredients.

Are there any additives or preservatives in the cookies?

No. We don’t use any additives or preservatives in our cookies. They’re made with simple, real ingredients you’d find in your own kitchen - nothing artificial, nothing unnecessary.

How big are the cookies?

Each cookie is baked from 50g of dough and weighs around 47g once baked. Our Classic Chocolate Chip cookies spread more while baking and thus appear larger in comparison to the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.

How should I store the cookies?

You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze them for longer storage. They reheat beautifully in the oven.

Will your cookie doughs be back?

We are kneading out a few issues with manufacturing - so hopefully in the near future! In the meantime, you can buy our baked cookies which are made with the same recipes.
