"To take advantage of the full range of medicinal properties
mushrooms represent, you want to extract both their alcohol soluble
and their water soluble compounds. Double extraction involves first
making a simple alcohol tincture, then a hot water decoction, and
finally blending the two together in the proper ratio. Mushrooms
species best extracted using the double tincture method include
Reishi, Chaga, Artists Conk, Birch polypore Red Belted polypore.

You want the alcohol content of your tincture to be 20-25% or higher.
You do the extractions separately and then mix them together so that
the mix contains 75% Water extract, and 25% alcohol extract using
the alcohol content, not by volume. The author goes into great
detail on how to figure out mathematically that your mixture is at
this level, but I do not feel it would be right to type out 4+
pages of this book.

I highly suggest buying it, is full of great info on the properties of
most common medicinal mushrooms, along with some foraging tips, extraction
tips, and ingestion tips.

Hope this helps
