From the Forest Floor 🍄🌲
Triple-Extracted Adaptogenic Honey Elixir
Some of the forest’s most extraordinary treasures never bother reaching for the sun.
From the Forest Floor brings together four beloved fungal allies — Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Chaga, and Reishi — in one deeply concentrated, honey-based elixir made with wildcrafted mushrooms.
These wonderfully complicated forest beings are prepared through a slow, multi-step extraction process designed to unlock a broader spectrum of their naturally occurring compounds. Because mushrooms deserve considerably more attention than being ground into beige powder and tossed into a capsule.
🍄 Four Forest Allies
Lion’s Mane
With its cascading, shaggy form, Lion’s Mane is one of the forest’s strangest beauties. It naturally contains beta-glucans and other polysaccharides and has a long history of use in traditional mushroom preparations.
Turkey Tail
Named for the bands of color that resemble a wild turkey’s tail, Turkey Tail naturally contains polysaccharides including beta-glucans and has been treasured in traditional mushroom preparations for generations.
Chaga
Chaga looks less like a mushroom and more like a smoldering little chunk of the forest itself. Traditionally gathered from trees in cold forests, it naturally contains polysaccharides, polyphenols, and antioxidant compounds.
Reishi
Often called the Mushroom of Immortality, Reishi has been used for centuries in traditional East Asian herbal practices and naturally contains beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and triterpenoids.
🌲 Why We Triple Extract Our Mushrooms
A mushroom is built a little like a tiny forest fortress. Its cell walls contain chitin, an incredibly tough structural material that humans do not digest particularly well. Tucked behind those sturdy walls are many of the compounds we are trying to capture.
So rather than asking your digestive system to storm the castle, we unlock the gates first.
Different mushroom constituents respond to different extraction methods, which is why our preparation uses several intentional stages:
- Steam Processing: gently prepares the mushrooms and begins breaking down their chitin-rich cell walls.
- Fermentation: further breaks down the mushroom structure and helps make naturally occurring polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and alkaloids more accessible.
- Hot Water Extraction: draws out water-soluble constituents, including many mushroom polysaccharides and beta-glucans.
- Long Alcohol Extraction: the mushrooms extract in alcohol for approximately three months to capture alcohol-soluble constituents, including triterpenoids.
No shortcut powders. No single quick soak. Just time, chemistry, fungi, and a healthy respect for doing things the long way when the long way makes sense.

The Wild Indigo Way 🌲
We have very little interest in turning the natural world into another fluorescent aisle of quick fixes. Our apothecary is rooted in something older: plants, fungi, time, tradition, curiosity, and the belief that the things growing quietly around us deserve to be known, respected, and prepared with care.
From the Forest Floor is our love letter to one of the strangest and most brilliant kingdoms on Earth.
The forest keeps some of its best secrets close to the ground. 🍄🌲✨
