Hey there I think these and others could possibly be amazing! I have been some doing initial research and been getting very excited First off might be to try some extract and get a feel for them. Could someone point me the right direction for quality stuff. Of course I would prefer sponsors, members before some random retail Tia!

Alright I could certainly give a go at extraction, if only dried fruit is available. Any leads on source or reishi or LM appreciated

alot out there. look for fruit extracts. may be something with lions mane mycellium extract but generally fruit is whats up. also want dual extract or alcohol for lions mane to get the better neuro properties vs just betaglucans with water. some of the "top" branded stuff isnt actually the best .

Etsy is a good place to look, especially if you can find someone local. People running a small business on there tend to put more care into their products than big companies like Stamets'. Plus they almost always use actual fruits.

Great help! I’m getting closer to finding it. When you look on Etsy is there a way to find locals easier. A big yes absolutely the fruit! Thanks

I just started an extract of lions mane 100g dried lions mane (ground to powder) to 1000ml high proof grain alcohol. I will update in a week. I’m having a hard time finding ratios so I just winged it. Seems like I could have gone lighter on the mane.
It will be combined with a water decoction to make it the dual extract. I don’t have reishi, but I have wild harvested turkey tail, maybe 100+g dried.
Source of lions mane was a local mushroom farm.

OP- do a search in your area for a mushroom farm, hit up farmers markets and ask some of the shop owners

The decoction is the fun part with LM - boiling it makes it super gelatinous so it's almost impossible to filter. I just leave it chunky. If you boil down your decoction enough, your final double extraction (even with 25% alcohol in it) can become completely gelled if it gets cool enough, to where you have to warm it up to make it liquid again! (this happened the last time I did it with H. americanum anyway )

Forrester, I don't filter lions mane. We have a 2 handle lemon press and just squeeze all the liquid out. What is left almost looks like shredded pork.

Yeah I don't mind mine chunky, filtering is a pain in the ass.

The extract is thick looking liquid , no chunks in it.
