The DNA in fungi more closely resembles the DNA in the animal kingdom than it does the DNA in the plant kingdom. Mycological tinctures have many health benefits and can have positive impacts on your physical, mental, and emotional health. In this class we will learn about the benefits of medicinal mushrooms, how to prepare them, and how to do a double extraction process. We will also discuss complementary tincture ingredients, bottling, and proper storage, all while keeping environmental impact in mind.
