30ml glass dropper bottle
Birch polypore is a mushroom with a long, practical history.
Growing quietly on birch trees across northern forests, Fomitopsis betulina has been found alongside human journeys for thousands of years. It’s perhaps best known from archaeological finds — carried, dried, and valued not for ornament, but for usefulness. This is a fungus that earned its place by being reliable.
Traditionally, birch polypore was gathered and worked with for its drying, steady, and protective qualities, and was often associated with resilience and self-sufficiency. It wasn’t a flashy mushroom, but one that appeared again and again in folk practices where practicality mattered more than performance.
Our Birch Polypore Tincture is made as a slow, alcohol-free extraction using vegetable glycerin and water, a method well suited to its firm, fibrous nature. Prepared in small batches with patience, this approach allows the character of the mushroom to come through gently, without harshness.
This is a tincture for those who appreciate straightforward preparations — simple, measured, and quietly dependable.
