This video is worth more to your fellow man than most people will realize. We often have access to very powerful medicinals from nature that are quite often as effective if not more so than what one can get from a doctor. Often times, the natural medicinals will build up health rather than address or cover up symptoms such as current standard medicinal approaches to a health problem.

Excellent point Lonnie. Using natural medicines is very different way of addressing our health. It is worth the effort to learn how to stay healthy and boost our immune systems rather than address our health after we become ill. Thanks for commenting

Birch poly pore everywhere here in Maine. False turkey tail galore, but hard to find trametes versicolor in any amount. I’ve found a little bit of chaga, and the conks you showcased in this video, although I haven’t harvested the red belted or artist polypore yet. yet. The joy is discovering ones own regional assortment of fungi!

Great video Mark, I make a Chaga, Birch polypore and Turkey tail cocktail daily. I love the smell and taste, usually add some honey as the birch polypore can be a little bitter. I am in the process of making a tincture now, have some soaking in vodka will blend the tea with it when it's done. Cheers!

I have been using medicinal fungus for 11 years now. I take them 4 days a week in small doses (6 oz per day). YOU MUST SUPLEMENT WITH A MINIMUM OF 2000mg OF C PER DAY! The red banded polypore uses that much per day and you can end up with "scurvy" if you do not add in extra C....I used tin snips to cut the dried fungus...to your health

hi there, wanted to let you know, i did the same extraction by coincidence but with tinder mushroom and reishi spore powder additionally. as i did not have enough time to do a dual extraction and to wait for 6 weeks, i used red wine as an agent to extract. temperature was about 60 degree celsius in a slow cooker. for quite a while over night you could say. just wanted to let you know about the red wine, as it has alcohol and water parts to get all good stuff out and valuable resveratrol from grape seeds as well. i used lower temperature but for longer to not make the alcohol evaporate at early stages. maybe you wanna try out one day. seems convincing shortcut to dual extraction to me

Interesting. Some mushrooms contain arsenic, so knowledge is key. I assume main benefits are trace minerals, but I'm not a doctor. My only home remedy is strong Chinese Mustard anytime I feel a cold coming on. It works 100% for me, and some few others that have tried it claim benefits. My theory is many viruses are base ph and mustard is acidic, as well as being a natural decongestant with no drowsy side effects. Peace
