Sustainable Sorcerers gets down with the Virome speaking to the nature of the Biome;)

The American hazelnut (also known as the American filbert) is a native shrub of the eastern United States. The tasty nuts are highly prized by cooks for their easy-to-crack shells and small, sweet kernel. Squirrels love them as well ... most likely for the same reasons. Hazelnut hedges can be used as windbreaks, visual screens, and to attract wildlife.

American Hazelnut Produces small sweet nuts which are highly sought after by chefs and bakers and preferred by squirrels, deer, turkey, woodpeckers, pheasants, grouse, quail and jays. The male catkins are a food staple of ruffed grouse throughout the winter.

Hazelnut canopy provides good windbreak!

In the coming years we should be able to fully transition into utilizing our own forest cultivated Chaga as a means of maintaining our resolve to provide strategic and important medicines from the wild in a sustainable and ethical way promoting Regenerative principals!Your Purchase directly supports our Regenerative work promoting rewilding initiatives with Sustainable Forestry Solutions as well ethical sourcing of these species of concern and increasingly rare and threatened species at risk from over harvesting.CHAGAA fungus known atleast 4,000 years in Traditional Medicine. Used by Ancient Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Asiatic Societies, Scandian and Native Americans. As well a part of shamanic rituals, especially by Khanty/Oystaks who gave it its current, and most frequently used name. Chaga wasn’t unknown to Japan’s indigenous people the Ainu whom brewed chaga tea and drank it to treat their digestive issues, stomach ache, etc. They also used the mushroom in a powder form for religious rituals.Chaga contains rich amounts of Betulinic acid has been shown to induce mitochondrial apoptosis in different cancer cell lines and inhibit the enzyme topoisomerase, which is essential for the unwinding and winding of the DNA strands in cell replication. In addition it possesses anti-retroviral, antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is currently being developed as an anti-cancer agent through the Rapid Access to Intervention Development program of the US National Cancer Institute!In vitro studies on betulinic acid have shown it to be highly effective against a wide variety of cancer cells: human melanoma, neuroectodermal (neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, Ewing’s sarcoma) and malignant brain tumors, ovarian cancer, human leukemia HL-60 cells and malignant head and neck squamous cell cancers, including those derived from therapy-resistant and refractory tumors. However, it was found to have no effect on epithelial tumors, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, small cell lung cancer and renal cell cancer as well as T-cell leukemia cells. Its anti-tumor activity has been related to its direct effects on mitochondria and induction of apoptosis.Other important components of Chaga include polysaccharides and sterols. Its high phenolic content gives it exceptional antioxidant properties and a melanin complex has also been identified as having significant antioxidant and genoprotective properties&nbsp;Chaga mushroom promotes immune system function by encouraging the production of cytokines, proteins vital for cellular communication. With improved communication, your immune system cells can better collectively combat threats posed by viruses or other infection-causing agents. During cold and flu season, regularly drinking a cup of Chaga mushroom tea will give your immune system a welcome boost.&nbsp;Chaga is also a Great dietary supplement during chemotherapy.

Supports healthy blood sugar levels and respiratory tract health. Supports healthy digestion, detoxification and improves the appearance of skin and hair.DIGESTIVE DISORDERS – Melano-glucan complexes have wide antimicrobial activity and Chaga has traditionally been used as an internal cleanse.BLOOD PRESSURE -&nbsp;Chaga helps with diabetes lowers blood glucose from first dose. Betulinic Acid reduces LDL and helps with cardio vascular health. Chaga lowers blood pressure and prevents blood clots. Chaga removes lactic acid from your blood giving you more endurance and energy and giving your liver a break. Chaga is a liver tonic, hepatoprotective detoxifying your liver. Very high level of anti-oxidants Melanin turns Chaga in to powerful anti-aging tool!PSORIASIS – Several anecdotal reports indicate benefit of Chaga for psoriasis and this is supported by a Russian study on 50 psoriasis patients, which reported a 76% cure rate, with improvement in a further 16% of cases. The same study reported that it typically took 9-12 weeks for improvement to become apparentANTI-VIRAL -&nbsp;Chaga has traditionally been used to treat a number of viral conditions and aqueous extracts of Chaga prevented Herpes simplex virus entry. Betalunic acid disrupts assembly and budding of the HIV-1 virus and viral fusion to the cell membrane. key to survivorship of severe viral infections is Lowering the potentially fatal Cytokine storm, a common autoimmune response complication of respiratory diseases caused by corona viruses such as SARS, MERS, H5N1&nbsp;Chaga is also packed with high levels of naturally occurring Vitamin B complex. It’s rich in more than 215 phytonutrients, beta glucans, saponins, amino acids, belulinic acid, and other raw food based soluble minerals. The body can benefit from these things in a variety of different ways.Benefits metabolic healthAnti-inflammatory propertiesHigh levels of anti-oxidantsSupports cellular regenerationImmunity-boosterAntibacterial and antiviral propertiesAids in digestionORAC levels near 60,000Abundance of B Vitamins215 PhytonutrientsAnti-Aging propertiesLongevityRejuvenatingIn 2004, researchers in Korean made a fascinating discovery. They reported that human cells which were pretreated with a hot water extract of Chaga conk had a 40 percent reduction in DNA fragmentation when compared with the positive controlThese types of promising results sparked further research across the globe. Three years later in 2007, at the University of Bradford, U.K., medical research scientists embarked upon another interesting study involving Chaga and a group of patients. They studied the antioxidative effects of a room temperature water-ethanol extract of cultured Chaga mycelium on the DNA of 40 patients. Twenty were healthy individuals, and the other 20 had irritable bowel disease (IBD). They concluded:“Chaga supplementation resulted in a 54.9% reduction of H2 O2 induced DNA damage within the patient group and 34.9% within the control group. Conclusively, Chaga extract reduces oxidative stress in lymphocytes from IBD patients"&nbsp;To be clear: Chaga mushrooms are safe for virtually all to consume. However, there are still certain possibilities to be understand. Consuming chaga mushrooms may increase the effects of anticoagulant medications such as aspirin and warfarin. This can elevate your risk for bleeding and bruising. Those with auto-immune disease should consult with a healthcare professional prior to ingesting chaga mushrooms.Chaga mushrooms should not be used when taking intravenous applications of glucose and penicillin. If you are pregnant or lactating, consult your healthcare provider prior to taking. Be sure to store chaga unopened, or opened in a cool, dark and dry place.

Being blessed with legit sturdy mountain people and woods-wise grandfolks growing up that encouraged me to learn more of the good ol' ways! I learned how Sassafras used traditionally to reduce fevers, soothe chronic rheumatism, gout, and dropsy; relieve eye inflammation, ease menstrual and parturition pain, help cure scurvy and various skin conditions, and act as a disinfectant in dental surgery as well treatment for Oral Cancer!

ooo and did I mention a absolutely divine traditional Appalachian Mountain spicy Chai my Ramapough mountain people called Glaug/Gloog!

good stuff even cold with carbonation and some milk spicy sassy egg nog over seltzer what what?!

Our Russed method is tedious but the outer bark is the goods, yielding 10% Aromatic oil. Many providers of Sassafras root is as whole cut root and wite in appearance, but what you want is red russed look and aromatic. The innerwood/pith is not of much value

WERE TALKKIN MARSHMALLOWS IN SPACE!

WHAT U THINK THE MILKYWAY IS MADE OF!?!

Both Slippery and smooth, marshmallow root tea is traditionally used to create calm throughout the body. Traditionally soaking the root of the marshmallow plant in cold to room temperature water results in a viscous, silky smooth tea. 

 Beneficial Mucilaginous polysaccharides found within the leaf and root of mallow are made rapidly available in hot water and utilizing in this powder form is also very ideal for candy/confection making!

anyone have a kraft style jet puff machine we can put the marshmallow back into marshmallows!?!

Our Grandmother first taught us how to make ol' timey lozenges that are ideal for calming inflammation of the gums, mouth and throat especially

launching these in our shop this winter as well so watch out!!

As the name implies, Marshmallow mucilages are slippery, mucous-like sugar compounds, which attract and gather water molecules, growing and swelling in size as they envelope more and more hydration. The result is a noticeable thickening to your tea, complimented by a sweet, coconut like flavor. It is this water infusion that brings out Marshmallow root’s benefits to moisturize and soothe often compliment with honey for sipping comfort when under the weather

FUN FACT! did you know Marshmallow root remained the primary ingredient in candy up until very recent history being replaced with malodextrin, gelatin and high fructose corn syrup poison blaaaaa

Marshmallow is actually one of humanities’ earliest confections! found grows in marshes, ancient Egyptians boiled and mixed the root with honey to create a dense, cake-like confection reserved for the gods and royalty!!

 The true value of the marshmallow is its medicinal qualities. The root contains a gel-like mucilage that soothes sore throats, gastrointestinal inflammation, stomach ulcers and work well as a laxative! containing 18-35% mucilage.  Is effective in offering relief to Psuedomonis aeruginosa in respiratory infections, Proteus vulgaris intestinal infections and Staphylococcus aureus in respiratory & skin infections. As a anti-inflammatory and expectorant Marshmallow root relieves digestive issues from mouth inflammation, gastritis, acid reflux, peptic ulceration, leaky gut and colitis. Studies have shown marshmallow root equally better than Tagamet for treating acid reflux as well managing upset stomach that comes with taking cortisone.

Black Cohosh is traditionally known through Appalachian folk medicine for its properties in relieving menopausal symptoms and regulating the menstrual cycle. A member of the buttercup family, is a perennial plant native to North America. Other, mostly historical, names for this herb include snakeroot, black bugbane, rattleweed, macrotys, and rheumatism weed. 

Black cohosh has a long history of use. Native Americans used it, for example, to treat musculoskeletal pain, fever, cough, pneumonia, sluggish labor, and menstrual irregularities. European settlers used black cohosh as a tonic to support women’s reproductive health 

Today, black cohosh is most commonly used for menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes (also called hot flushes) and night sweats (together known as vasomotor symptoms), vaginal dryness, heart palpitations, tinnitus, vertigo, sleep disturbances, nervousness, and irritability  Menopause, which typically occurs in women at about 51 years of age, is the cessation of menstruation and the end of a woman’s reproductive period

Goldenseal ((Hydrastis canadensis) 
Aka
 Yellowroot!

The root of this low-growing woodland plant is wild harvested and woodsgrown c as an important antimicrobial agent!
Its use has been so extensive that overharvesting has all but wiped out wild goldenseal.
To protect this popular herb from extinction, never dig up wild goldenseal plants until after they seed. This botanical is now farmed in woodland settings to meet the great market demand without further endangering goldenseal in its natural setting. And the demand is indeed great: More than 150,000 pounds of goldenseal is consumed annually in America alone! With good reason. Goldenseal is a powerful herbal remedy that serves as an anti-inflammatory, digestive aid and more.
Uses for Goldenseal
Goldenseal is so valued because it improves health in many ways: It is a strong antimicrobial, a mild anti-inflammatory, and a digestive tonic! Its astringent properties make it useful for treating conditions of the throat, stomach, and vagina, when these tissues are inflamed, swollen, or infected.
The yellow-pigmented powder also makes a good antiseptic skin wash for wounds and for internal skin surfaces, such as in the vagina and ear canal. Goldenseal eye washes are useful for simple conjunctivitis. An anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial astringent, goldenseal is particularly effective on the digestive system -- from the oral mucosa to the intestinal tract. It is helpful for canker sores in the mouth and as a mouth rinse for infected gums.
For sore throats, goldenseal works well combined with echinacea and myrrh. Gargling with goldenseal is effective, too; extended surface contact with the infected area is ideal treatment. Irritable bowel diseases also benefit from the use of goldenseal when there is diarrhea and excessive intestinal activity and secretions.
For general debility of the stomach and digestion, such a chronic gas, indigestion, and difficulty with absorption of nutrients, herbalists recommend a combination of equal parts goldenseal and cayenne pepper, in tincture or capsules, before meals on a regular basis. Goldenseal has been found useful in treating the many types of diarrhea from travelers diarrhea to the types seen only in AIDS patients. Weakened immune function makes people susceptible to intestinal and other infections; goldenseal can help prevent and treat these infections.
Goldenseal has been found to be effective against a number of disease-causing organisms, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Chlamydia species, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Entamoeba histolytica and many others. Berberine and related alkaloids in goldenseal have been credited with its antimicrobial effects. Berberine may be responsible for the increased white blood cell activity associated with goldenseal use, as well as its promotion of blood flow in the liver and spleen.
Promoting circulation in these organs enhances their general function. Berberine has been used recently in China to combat the depression of the white blood cell count that commonly follows chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. Both human and animal studies suggest berberine may have potential in the treatment of brain tumors and skin cancers. Berberine also improves cardiovascular health, lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides, decreases blood pressure when elevated, and improves the function of the heart muscle.
Since goldenseal acts as an astringent to mucosal tissues, it has been recommended to treat oral cancers, as well as abnormal cells in the cervix (cervical dysplasia) and cervical cancer. Goldenseal's astringent and immune-stimulating action seems to heal inflamed cells and eliminate abnormal cells. Learn & grow

Elderberry is highly reputed for its health-improving effects! Treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, a suggestion that is substantiated by the fact that the antioxidant capacity of elderberry is among the strongest measured in fresh fruits! The consumption of berries is linked to enhancing human health and preventing or delaying the onset of chronic medical conditions. Compared with other fruit, elderberry is a very rich source of anthocyanins (approximately 80% of the polyphenol content). These polyphenols are the principals that essentially contribute to the high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities and the health benefits of elderberry fruit extract. These health effects include attenuation of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory disorders, as well as anti-diabetic, anticancer, antiviral, and immuno-stimulatory effects and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases!

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is an delicious edible medicinal mushroom native to northeastern region we are blessed with abundance of in our Catskill forest region!

Traditionally used in Japan, maitake mushroom has been utilized in traditional medicine for centuries and have gained popularity in the Western world.

Maitake mushrooms are rich in macronutrients (protein, fats, carbohydrates), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and phytochemicals (special plant components). They've been studied for their potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects




Recent research has found potential uses of maitake mushrooms in cancer, inflammation, and immunity. These and other health benefits are thought to be due to bioactive ingredients like polysaccharides and polyphenols present in maitake mushrooms

Maitake mushrooms may also benefit other health conditions, including diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, and neurodegenerative (brain and nerve) diseases. However, research is in the early stages for many of these uses.

Maitake mushrooms are rich in important nutrients and phytochemicals that are thought to offer a wide array of health benefits.

One cup of raw maitake mushrooms contains the following

Calories: 22
Protein: 1.4 grams (g)
Fat: 0.13 g
Carbohydrate: 4.9 g
Fiber: 1.9 g
Calcium: 0.7 milligrams (mg)
Iron: 0.2 mg
Magnesium: 7 mg
Phosphorus: 52 mg
Potassium: 143 mg
Zinc: 0.5 mg
Selenium: 1.5 micrograms (mcg)
Folate: 15 mcg
Choline: 36 mg
Vitamin D: 784 international units (IU)
You'll also find heart-healthy fats, including mono- and polyunsaturated fats and amino acids like tryptophan, leucine, lysine, valine, and others in maitake mushrooms

Maitake mushrooms are also a source of various phytochemicals, which are plant-based bioactive compounds with potential health benefits.

Beta-glucans (types of polysaccharides) are widely present in maitake mushrooms. In laboratory research, beta-glucans have shown antitumor properties.
Flavonoids and other types of polyphenols are also present in maitake mushrooms. These act as antioxidants, which may be necessary for disease prevention.

Another class of phytonutrients found in maitake mushrooms are glycoproteins. The glycoproteins in maitake mushrooms comprise both carbohydrates and proteins. In lab research, they have been found to have blood-pressure-lowering, blood-sugar-lowering, and antitumor effects!

King Trumpet Mushroom are prized for their savory umami flavor and meaty texture. They’re often used in soups and sandwiches — and as a vegetarian kosher and halal substitute for seafood since they closely mimic the texture of scallops and salami These large mushrooms boast an impressive array of health benefits!

The king trumpet mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) is the largest of the oyster mushroom family, also known as  “king oyster mushroom" as well as “French horn mushroom” and “trumpet royale,” refers to the mushroom’s trumpet-like cap, which extends from a thick stem

Health Benefits of King Trumpet Mushrooms
King trumpet mushrooms are loaded with health-supporting and immunemodulating nutrients, such as naturally occurring antioxidants. King trumpet mushrooms have especially high levels of ergothioneine, an antioxidant found in the mushroom’s mycelium and fruit bodies that helps reduce damage from free radicals and oxidative stress. L-Ergothioneine is the only antioxidant that has been found to have its own cellular transport mechanism 

 L-Ergothioneine is not made by the human body and must be sourced from other sources in our diet. King Trumpet mushrooms also contain a high quantity of selenium, another essential antioxidant. Several recent studies have turned up even more impressive potential health benefits of king trumpet mushrooms. These powerful superfoods have been shown to lower cholesterol and help with weight loss. And king trumpet mushroom extracts have also been shown to have anti-viral properties and to support bone health.

LIONS MANE MUSHROOM

Lion’s Mane is perhaps most popular for its use as a nootropic, or brain enhancer and promoting mental clarity, As well as aiding in Re-mylonization from connective Tissue Disorders promoting healing. It is currently being studied for its potential to treat Alzheimer’s Disease and other issues that affect cognitive function and the nervous system. One study found that subjects with mild cognitive impairment who took Hericium powder daily for four months showed significant increases in their brain function.

Its compounds are important for helping restore nerve growth factor (NGF), aiding in learning and memory. Hericium has the amazing ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier, stimulating the growth of neurons and protective cells. This means it can improve overall mental performance.

In recent years, Lion’s Mane has finally received more attention from scientists, making star appearances in studies on brain health and immune support. It’s full of antioxidants and antibacterial compounds that may help digestive issues and promote healthy cell growth.

Lion’s Mane has historically been used to treat infections, diabetes (it helps lower blood sugar), and heal wounds. The mushroom is rich in polysaccharides, most notably beta-glucan, which have demonstrated antitumor activity and immune system support in studies

This increasingly popular medicinal mushroom is widely touted to help with concentration and focus and improve memory. As a robust cognitive enhancer can also help with mood and mental health. Many people who consume it regularly find it to be a great ally for stress support.

New studies are showing that Lion’s Mane may be a great alternative treatment for anxiety and depression. It works to support nerves in the hippocampus rather than affecting our neurotransmitters like conventional antidepressants do!

Ohh and did we mention it is an absolutely delicious alternative for meat protein and is very popular with vegan and kosher diets for crabcake substitute and seafood stocks. It is a pretty impressive yummy ingredient and beyond good for you!!!

Botanical InformationBloodroot,&nbsp;Sanguinaria canadensis&nbsp;L., is a member of the Papaveraceae family. It is a native spring wildflower that grows in rich woodlands of North America from Nova Scotia to Florida and west to Alabama, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Manitoba. It can grow in full sun, but is more often found in semi-shaded, light-wooded areas with moist, acidic soil. A perennial that grows up to ten inches tall, the plant has a single, basal leaf that can be as wide as eight inches. The flower is located on a separate stalk and is white with a yellow center. Bloodroot is one of the first wildflowers to bloom beginning in late winter and continuing into early spring. The "root", consisting of a thickened rhizome covered with fibrous roots, is known for its reddish-orange color. Bioactive ComponentsThe main bioactive components of bloodroot are alkaloids, primarily sanguinarine. Others include chelerythrine, berberine, and oxysanguinarine. Sanguinarine is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.Uses and TreatmentsBloodroot was a traditional medicine used by many American Indian tribes to treat fever and rheumatism. Other traditional uses were for treatment of ulcers, ringworm, and skin infections. It was, and still is, used to produce natural red, orange, and pink dyes. Currently, bloodroot is being studied for use as an anti-cancer agent, particularly for the treatment of skin cancer, and as a dissolving agent for skin growths such as warts. Bloodroot has enjoyed some commercial success in toothpaste and mouthwash as an anti-plaque agent. Internal use of bloodroot, however, is not usually recommended. Germany's&nbsp;Commission E. has no recommended uses of bloodroot at the current time and many herbalists consider bloodroot too toxic to ever be taken internally. An overdose of bloodroot extract can cause vomiting and loss of consciousness. Site SelectionSince bloodroot is indigenous to North Carolina, primarily the western part of the state, choosing a site where populations are already present is ideal. Bloodroot prefers a rich moist soil that is well drained with high organic matter content. Moisture is important throughout the growing season. Consider that in its natural habitat, it is found in deep shaded to open woodland areas. Select an area with a humus-rich soil and a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. If the soil pH is too low, it can be raised with lime.Bloodroot can be cultivated under an artificial shade structure or a natural forest canopy at 70-80% shade. In the woods, bloodroot can be grown intensively in raised beds (referred to as "woods cultivated"), intensively in raised beds under an artificial shade structure (referred to as "shade grown"), or in a low-density, low-input method mimicking how it grows in the wild (referred to as "wild simulated"). If an open field is used, a wood lath structure or polypropylene shade structure can be built to provide the necessary shade. Make the structure seven feet tall or higher with two opposite ends open to the prevailing breeze. For woods cultivated or wild simulated, select a site shaded by tall, preferably hardwood trees, where other compatible woodland plants grow such as Jack-in-the-pulpit, mayapple, trillium, wild ginger, or a native stand of bloodroot. PlantingBloodroot propagation is typically done through seed or root division. Bloodroot is easily propagated by dividing the rhizomes in spring or in fall. Plants can be started indoors from seed or seed can be directly sown into the ground, but the rhizome divisions allow for a faster harvestable root. To plant rhizomes, cut them into vertical sections, two inches in length, making sure there is at least one bud attached. There can be up to 12 buds on the rhizome of one bloodroot plant. In a well-prepared 3 foot wide bed, plant rhizome pieces deep enough to cover the top of the rhizome with one to two inches of soil (usually around four inches deep). Any fibrous roots connected to the rhizome pieces can remain attached. Stagger plantings six inches apart, making sure the bud is pointed upright when placing the rhizome pieces in the ground. Mulch beds with at least three inches of shredded hardwood mulch or leaf mulch. Add mulch as needed throughout the growing seasons and supply adequate moisture. While bloodroot does not grow well in a soggy soil, irrigation should be provided during dry periods. Plants should be ready to harvest four to five years after planting rhizomes.Bloodroot seeds mature in mid to late spring. Oblong seedpods contain the developing seeds, and when mature, the pods open and seeds pop out. If the seeds are not collected, young seedlings will sprout around the mother plant, usually the following spring. To collect bloodroot seed, pouches can be made out of cheesecloth or fine nylon mesh (bridal veil material) to cover the young seedpods before they spring open. The pouch should be put over the immature pod and tied loosely around the stalk. When the seedpod opens, the seeds are released, but are captured in the pouch, instead of scattering to the ground.With seedbeds prepared, plant the fresh seeds one to two inches apart, approximately&nbsp;1⁄4&nbsp;inch deep. Never allow fresh seed to dry out. Cover with a two-inch layer of leaf mulch and keep moist. Once the plants have developed small rhizomes (usually after two years), they can be transplanted into regular planting beds. Plants should be ready to harvest six years after planting from seeds.Harvesting, Cleaning, and DryingMost bloodroot is harvested in the fall, but some is harvested and sold in spring. If harvesting in fall, more than likely the leaves will have died back, making it difficult to know where plants are located unless the beds were clearly marked beforehand. If hand digging, a spade fork works well. For larger scale operations, a ginseng digger or potato digger can be used. Great care should be taken not to damage the roots.Shake the roots free of soil and carefully remove any roots that are not bloodroot. No foreign matter, such as rocks, weeds, bugs, or metal, should be included with the roots. Protect from the sun and heat and do not allow the roots to dry out. Bloodroot is very susceptible to mold and should be processed as soon as possible. Wash the roots with a high-pressure stream of water from a hose or with a root washer. A root washer is typically a rotating drum with water nozzles positioned to spray water on the roots as they tumble. All soil must be removed from the roots. This may require breaking some of the larger roots to get them clean.Once the roots are clean, dry them in a warm place with high airflow. If a herb dryer is not available, a dehydrator, greenhouse, or room equipped with racks, dehumidifer, heater, and fan can be used. Dry roots at about 95°F, with high air-flow, for approximately three to seven days. The goal is to use as low a heat as possible, however, when humidity is high, the temperature in the dryer must be raised. Check roots regularly for mold or deterioration. If roots break without bending, they are dry enough to store. Make sure the larger roots are dried thoroughly. Bloodroot will dry down to approximately 25% of its fresh weight. Once the roots are completely dry, store in burlap sacks, cardboard barrels, or cardboard boxes, in a cool, dark, dry location. Protect from rodents and insects. Dried roots can be stored for two years. To date, little commercial acreage has been harvested. Potential yield per acre of the dried root, based on research plots planted in beds, is estimated at 1,500 lb. If roots are to be kept for planting stock, plant immediately or store in moist sphagnum moss at about 40°F. Check frequently, stirring with your hands and inspecting for mold and mildew. Consumption of bloodroot is moderate compared to many of the more popular forest herbs. Currently, almost all the bloodroot on the market is from wild-harvested sources. A recent surge in demand, however, is putting pressure on naturally occurring populations, making the market for cultivated material more attractive. The majority of bloodroot used for animal or human consumption is sold to European and Asian companies for processing. Some US herbalists use it to treat a variety of skin conditions. The popularity of how to make "black salve" on YouTube has resulted in consumers purchasing and making their own products. Bloodroot is available to the retail market online from a variety of small manufacturers and forest farmers. Other buyers for bloodroot include companies who use the plant for landscaping, gardening, and other ornamental purposes.Prices for bloodroot from wild-harvesters and forest farmers were $5.00-9.00 per pound of dried root from the mid-1990s up until about 2016. Those low prices were not sustainable for cultivation purposes. Increasing demand, however, has shifted this material into a higher price band, and it currently (2020) trades from $10.00-16.00 per pound on a wholesale level. Herbs suppliers are selling dried, cut bloodroot for about $90 per pound. Retail, online prices, however, range from $50 to $80 per ounce!

Sappy delicious seasonal greetings from the Sustainable Sorcerers birch patch!Located in lush Spring fed pristine Catskill Mountain Forest our Birch Syrup, Which I equate to the Savory colloidal Mineral Concentrate of the Forest is astoundingly renowned for its nutritive and medicinal healing values in Traditional Northern Societies is Time honored traditional for restoring vitality and connecting with the awakening of spring!We dewater the Birch Sap to syrup in a gentle 120 to 1 gallon ratio thru partial dewatering in reverse Osmosis system to reduce boil time to preserve dynamic flavors and efficiency!&nbsp; &nbsp;Seldom used for pancake or waffle syrup, more often it is used as an ingredient paired with pork or salmon dishes in sauces, glazes, and dressings, and as a flavoring in ice cream, beer, wine, and soft drinks. It is condensed from the sap, which has about 0.5–2% percent sugar content, depending on the species of birch, location, weather, and season. The finished syrup is 66% sugar or more to be classified as a syrup. Birch sap sugar is about 42–54% fructose and 45% glucose, with a small amount of sucrose and trace amounts of galactose. The main sugar in maple syrup is the more complex sucrose and the chemical contents of maple syrup is also different, leading to a flavor difference. The flavor of birch syrup has a distinctive and mineral-rich caramel-like taste that is not unlike molasses or balsamic condiment or some types of soy, with a hint of spiciness. Different types of birch will produce slightly different flavor profiles; some more copper, others with hints of wildflower honey. While birch syrup has the same sugar content of maple it is darker and stronger and more complex than maple

Sustainable Forestry Solutions is very excited to bring to market this hallowed treasure known as Himalayan Gold In Tibet!Known as Yarsagumba or yartsa gunbu and in China it is known as Dōnɡ Chónɡ Xià Cǎo (冬虫夏草) which translate to summer grass, winter worm, and in modern times Tibetan Viagra!Most recently, concerns over the sustainability of Cordyceps have been raised due to over-harvesting, ecosystem degradation and climate change as the wild strain realized 20,000 per KG!Sustainable Sorcerers have been collaborating with fellow mycologists to address this concern and bring this much needed medicine to market in a good way for the people and planet!Cultivated indoors in optimal growing conditions, dialed in for this wonder of nature without the use of their insect hosts they generally grow from, nor need for pesticides we can now offer this vegan option so no one gets left out from utilizing this incredible medicine!These whole fruiting bodies are a blessing to sustainable principal in creating a much needed and superior rendering of active compounds not found in 95% of mushroom powder/pill markets conceived from non fruiting mycelliated grain grown spawn.One of the unique things about this Cordyceps militaris strain that Sustainable Sorcerers is offering is that it produces the compound cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine) in much higher amounts when compared to Cordyceps sinensis, the famed wild strain from tibet (20k per kg)!!!Beta Glucan content of Cordyceps Milataris 25% (Our Strain) vsCordyceps Sinensis 7.58% (Tibetan Strain)VersusCordyceps myceliated grain 1.5% (95% of non fruited market powder/extracts)DOING IT!!!TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) USEIn Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cordyceps (Dōnɡ Chónɡ Xià Cǎo 冬虫夏草) was considered a very special tonic as it was offered to the Emperor’s court and others among Chinese nobility. The first written record was mentioned in the year AD 620. Traditionally it was used as a lung and kidney tonic making it useful for respiratory ailments, physical exhaustion and for those with a weak constitution. Low sexual function, libido and performance are also keynotes for cordyceps use in traditional literature.Cordyceps is considered a jing tonic by nourishing yin, boosting yang and supporting kidney essence. Essence is considered to be the elixir of life in TCM. Essence comes from lifestyle (post-natal qi: breathing, diet, meditation, mushrooms and herbs) or from energetic reserves which we are born with (pre-natal qi). Cordyceps is considered to be placed on equal value with other valued tonics like ginseng, reishi and deer antler velvet.Cordyceps has a sweet flavour and is slightly warm in energetics. These more subtle qualities of cordyceps are used to make sure cordyceps aren’t used in the wrong scenarios. For example, due to the stimulating and strengthening nature of cordyceps, it is contraindicated in conditions with lung heat (infections) based on its ability to not only strengthen the person but also the external pathogen causing the lung compromise.Think vigor and vitality when looking at the traditional applications of cordyceps: a secret tonic known to strengthen, rebuild and energize the body and mind.INCREASE EXERCISE PERFORMANCECordyceps showed improved exercise performance in healthy older patients with improved respiratory and metabolic functioningWith all essential amino acids present as well vitamins mainly E, K, B1, B2, B12; carbohydrates, proteins, sterols, nucleosides and essential elements (Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pi, Se, Al, Si, Ni, Sr, Ti, Cr, K, Na, Ca)TRACE ELEMENTAL MYCOBIOMINERAL MAGIC!!!Studies show that the polysaccharides in cordyceps can have an anti-fatigue effect and improve exercise performanceThe antioxidative and general adaptogenic effects of cordyceps can support athletes during and after their performance. Recovery is a critical time often overlooked by athletes of all levels. Athletes using cordyceps for performance enhancement should also consider its recovery potential.CANCERNumerous in vitro and animal experiments have been conducted which enhanced cytokine activity and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, thereby reducing tumor cell proliferation and enhancing survival times by enhancing cytokine activity and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, thereby reducing tumor cell proliferation and enhancing survival times. Cordyceps also demonstrates increased tolerance to radiation and chemotherapy (possibly caused by enhanced immune function), and reduction in tumor size with coadministration of cordyceps. Animal experiments suggest a protective role for cordyceps in radiation- and chemotherapy-induced injury, with increased survival times!!INCREASED EXERCISE PERFORMANCECordyceps showed improved exercise performance in healthy older patients with improved respiratory and metabolic functioning. Polysaccharides in cordyceps can have an anti-fatigue effect and improve exercise performance. This was also shown in another study which found that two weeks of Cordyceps militaris supplementation displayed greater levels of delayed fatigueThe antioxidative and general adaptogenic effects of cordyceps can support athletes during and after their performance. Recovery is a critical time often overlooked by athletes of all levels. Athletes using cordyceps for performance enhancement should also consider its recovery potential. Traditionally, cordyceps has been used in the elderly population to improve weakness, impotence, and fatigue associated with aging. Clinical studies have been conducted among elderly subjects. Other antioxidant effects, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and decreases in lipid peroxidation are thought to be responsible for the antiaging effects, as well as effects on the adrenergic and dopamine systems. Increases in learning and memory have been shown in experimentsANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIESBeta-glucans and cordycepin in Cordyceps militaris have been shown to be the main compounds responsible for it’s anti-inflammatory effect. Human cell studies show cordyceps can decrease inflammation markers. Studies on type 1 diabetes suggest that the immune and inflammation properties of cordyceps may slow destruction of pancreatic beta cells. The immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties of cordyceps may help rebalance the T regulatory and Th17 cell ratioAs autoimmune conditions are often accompanied by inflammation, cordyceps could become an important therapeutic strategy. Rheumatoid arthritis in vitro studies suggest that cordycepin may decrease inflammation in immune cells related to inflammation.Age related inflammation to the cells and mitochondria can be influenced by free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Cordyceps help oxygen delivery at a cellular level which can help decrease inflammation.TESTOSTERONETraditionally cordyceps were used for sexual performance, low libido, and as an aphrodisiac but modern science may also support its use for androgenic potential by decreased bisphenol A (BPA; a hormone-disrupting plastic) induced reproductive damage while increasing testosterone, sperm motility and sperm count.Cordycepin may increase steroidogenic acute regulatory (STAR) enzyme which allows the starting substrate of all hormones, cholesterol, to enter the mitochondria for the production of steroid hormones. Cholesterol is converted to pregnenolone and pregnenolone to testosterone.A lot of individuals looking for increases in testosterone often make the mistake of overtraining. Overtraining can lead to an increase in free radicals, leading to oxidative stress on the sexual organs. Cordyceps has been shown to have anti-oxidative properties.An animal study on sperm quality and quantity showed positive results using cordyceps mycelium (not specified but likely liquid fermentation mycelium as the study is from Taiwan).31An endurance athlete study showed that cordyceps supplementation combine with reishi mushroom supplementation decreased overtraining markers and the testosterone and cortisol ratio improved. This same study showed decreases in oxidative stress.RENAL FUNCTIONImproved renal function as demonstrated by increases in creatinine clearance, and decreases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. In a 2014 Cochrane review (n = 22 studies; 1,746 participants) in patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis in which renal parameters (serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, 24-hour proteinuria) were significantly improved.In patients in whom cordyceps was coadministered with amikacin and gentamicin, less nephrotoxicity was observed.5, 9 In transplantation recipients, the incidence of nephrotoxicity was lower among cordyceps-treated patients, thus allowing for higher cyclosporin. Renal function indices related to contrast-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) were significantly reduced in patients who underwent coronary intervention and were administered cordyceps (3 g 3 times daily for 3 days before and 3 days after angioplasty) compared with basic treatment (antiplatelet agents, statins, and anticoagulant therapy) in a randomized clinical trial (n = 103) in China. Although prevalence of CIN was not statistically significantly different between groups (5.77% vs 11.76%), mean peak serum creatinine, change of serum creatinine from baseline, kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and interleukin-18 were significantly lower in the test groupLIBIDOCordyceps was used traditionally to support libido and all things related to sexual functioning. Most of the in vitro studies suggest that cordyceps libido-enhancing effects may come from its testosterone regulatory and hormone supportive actions.A study on patients with low libido given cultured cordyceps showed a 64.5% improvement. A 2016 review referenced a cordyceps study which increased libido and sexual performance in men and women.One other thing to consider is that medicinal mushrooms can be 5-alpha-reductase (5AR) inhibitors which could prevent testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is also why you see claims to take medicinal mushrooms to combat hair loss as many male pattern baldness drugs are 5AR inhibitors.TYPE 2 DIABETESCordyceps may help manage common symptoms of type 2 diabetes such as high blood sugar, weight loss and excessive thirst.36 Cordyceps were also shown to have kidney protective and antioxidant effects. High blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes can cause damage to the kidneys due to increased oxidative stress and free radicals while decreasing blood glucose levels by improving glucose metabolism and enhancing insulin sensitivity!!HEART HEALTHCordyceps has been shown to decrease LDL levels as its protective ability on the cardiovascular system may be due to its adenosine and antioxidative effects. The compounds in cordyceps are thought to activate adenosine receptors which can provide some cardioprotective effects. In fact, cordyceps is used in China for heart rhythm disorders as well reducing transplant rejection. One study that tested the effect of Cordyceps in rats with chronic kidney disease saw a decrease in heart injuries after only 8 weeks. This is significant because heart injuries from chronic kidney disease is believed to increase heart failure.Other studies show Cordyceps may decrease bad cholesterol aka LDL cholesterol and reduce triglyceride levels. (Both high levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides are associated with heart disease.)It’s also interesting to note that Cordyceps is approved in China to treat arrhythmia, a condition that affects the rate your heart beatsHEPATIC FUNCTIONHepatoprotective effects of cordyceps extracts have been demonstrated in Open-label clinical studies conducted in patients with active hepatitis and posthepatic cirrhosis reported improvements in liver function testANXIETYSupportive in mental health protocols such as anxiety which has been associated with higher levels of inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of cordyceps decrease oxidative stress while providing support to the psychoendoneuroimmunology processes in the body. This field of study incorporates the interaction between the psychological, nervous and immune systems of an individual. Adaptogens are known mediators of this system with their ability to build resilience.Cordycepin exhibits neuroprotective benefits in neurovascular dysfunction and brain injuries. Synaptic functions (neurotransmitters in neural tissue) depend on healthy mitochondria and ATP for proper functioning.Cordyceps is considered a stimulating adaptogen, meaning it is more energizing and anabolic compared to other adaptogens that are more neutral, calming or restorative. An example of a calming adaptogen is holy basil. TCM and ayurvedic knowledge has best understood the applications of different classes of adaptogens.RESPIRATORYA stimulatory effect on ion transport in human airway epithelial cells, possibly because of cordycepin and adenosine. The observed effects on respiration are caused by enhanced oxygen utilization capacity, supporting the traditional use of cordyceps in Tibet and Nepal to offset altitude sickness. Clinical studies conducted in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchitis have suggested efficacy for cordyceps.ALZHEIMERS DISEASETreatment with Cordyceps on memory impairment related to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) was observed by studying the role of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M1 mAChR) on F11 neurohybrid cells [11].ERK (Extracellular-signal regulated kinase) phosphorylation was induced in F11 neurohybrid cells by muscarinic agonist carbachol (CCh), used as a ligand for M1 mAChR. The constituent of ECS comprised of oleic acid, triglycerides, cholesterol, ergosterol and palmitic acid, whereas carbohydrate and protein were main component in HWCS. It was found that treatment stimulation of the M1mAchR by CCh was the key factor leading to ERK phosphorylation enhanced by extract of CS. Pretreatment with DCM and PIR exhibited drastic inhibition of CCh induced ERK phosphorylationEffect of M1mAchR by the extract of CS was further confirmed in vivo experimenting on amnesia mice model Memory impairment in the mice was induced by injecting anticholinergic drug scopolamine which is reported to malfunction the mAChR activity. Than the extract of CS (HW+E) was administered orally and memory test results were compared, result suggested that action of scopolamine induced memory impairment was dominantly attenuated by the treatment by CS extract, suggesting the enhancement of mAChR activitySooooooo!

Our Seasonal Delight abounds the Catskill Forest once again!These treasured white Oyster mushrooms are carefully harvested and their spawn distributed amongst other dead and dying hardwoods in our forest to aid in beneficial native regeneration practices, as well to culture our own plugs and mycelium for future mushroom log production efforts.Careful low heat drying to best preserve flavor and medicinal properties of this culinary delight is taken, with no need for Sulphur or any additives, these mushrooms are harvested deep in the pristine spring fed woods far from roads. White Oyster mushrooms have a delicate, mild flavor with a velvety texture.Can be eaten rawOyster mushrooms Contain the following Minerals and NutrientsNiacin: Almost every cell in the human body requires niacin to function and metabolize other nutrients.Vitamin D: Vitamin D is not easy to find in food products (it typically comes from sunlight).Iron: Red blood cells require iron. One cup of oyster mushrooms gives you 12% of your recommended iron intake which makes them a great meat substitute in that respect.Oyster mushrooms also contain 8% each of your daily recommended amount of important nutrients likeRiboflavinPotassiumVitamin B6B VitaminsFolic acid (folate)MagnesiumVitamin CPantothenic acidAmino acids8 Health Benefits of Oyster MushroomsTraditional Chinese medicine has understood the value of oyster mushrooms and other medicinal mushrooms for centuries.Here are some of the most well-researched oyster mushroom benefits.1. Immune System SupportThe beta-glucans in oyster mushrooms make them one of the best foods on the planet for protecting your immune system against short- and long-term illnesses.Unlike some foods that either stimulate or repress the immune system, mushrooms balance it.Plus, oyster mushrooms are loaded with other antioxidants to help prevent free radical damage and oxidative stress so your immune system can defend itself against aging.2. Lowering High Blood PressureYour body needs nutrients like vitamin D to regulate blood pressure levels.Did you know that most people who live in cold climates are deficient in vitamin D?One study found that dietary mushrooms like oysters reduced blood pressure in rats with spontaneous or unexplained high blood pressure.3. Regulating Cholesterol LevelsSince mushrooms like oysters have a savory flavor and no cholesterol, they're a great substitute for meat in many sautéed dishes.4. Building Strong BonesOyster mushrooms have plenty of important nutrients for building strong bones. Specifically, vitamin D and magnesium.While most people focus on calcium, your body also needs vitamin D and magnesium to process calcium and store it in your bones.5. Anti-Inflammatory PropertiesThe beta-glucans and antioxidants in oyster mushrooms make it a great food for lowering inflammation.Some research shows that beyond beta-glucans, some of the oyster's anti-inflammatory properties come from a unique and somewhat unknown amino acid called ergothioneine.6. Anti-Cancer PropertiesThe beta-glucans in mushrooms like oysters function as potent antioxidants that may protect the body against cancer.One study found that oyster mushrooms have potential to be effective for certain types of cancer cells. (3)7. Protecting the Heart Against Cardiovascular DiseaseErgothioneine is also an excellent amino acid for protecting the heart because it prevents the buildup of plaque. Perhaps this is also why oyster mushrooms are able to lower cholesterol levels.According to the research, ergothioneine lowers "systemic" inflammation across the entire body which often contributes to diseases like dementia and diabetesOne study also found that consuming oyster mushrooms reduced triglycerides and cholesterol levels in diabetic patients (as well as high blood sugar levels).8. Defend Against Neurodegenerative DiseasesFinally, the amino acid ergothioneine is a cytoprotectant. In other words, it protects cells against oxidative stress and free radical damage.That's why mushrooms like oysters have potential for defending against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and dementia.Happy to share our bounty and blessings with you and supporting our native species regenerative forestry efforts!

Our Seasonal Delight abounds the Catskill Forest once again!These treasured Shiitake mushrooms are Organically grown by our production partners, Tivioli Mushrooms in Hudson NY and their spawn distributed amongst other oaks in our forest to aid in beneficial native regeneration practices, as well to culture our own plugs and mycelium for future mushroom log production efforts.Careful low heat drying to best preserve flavor and medicinal properties of this culinary delight is taken, and zero additives you find in store bought!Shiitake mushrooms have been a staple food in many Asian households for many centuries. These mushrooms hold the record as the second most popular and the third most cultivated mushroom in existence today.Shiitake is native to East Asia. It is widely used as a medicinal plant in traditional medicine due to the many health benefits documented in ancient medical books. It has a meaty texture and woody flavor. It is an excellent additive to salads, soup, and meat dishes.It's not surprising that you can find shiitake mushrooms in grocery stores. Its meaty and savory flavor are features that make it attractive to many grocery shoppers. Besides, it is loaded with lots of vitamins, including B12. It is also widely acclaimed to fight cancer as well as other cardiovascular infections, among many other beneficial features.One might start wondering why this mushroom is so powerful. The reason is not farfetched; shiitake mushrooms have a combination of antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. They are also potent in fighting inflammations and controlling blood sugar. You can gain all these and more from simply adding shiitake mushrooms to your diet.THE BENEFITS OF SHIITAKE MUSHROOMSResearch has shown that shiitake mushrooms contain several phytochemicals that can protect the DNA from oxidative damage. Lentinan is one of its vital components found in shiitake mushrooms; it protects chromosome damage caused by anticancer treatment. This mushroom is also unique because it contains all of the eight essential amino acids and many other types of amino acids. It is not surprising that this mushroom has proved beneficial to human health in many ways. Here are eight benefits of consuming shiitake mushrooms in your diet.PREVENTS OBESITYSome of the chemical components in shiitake mushrooms, such as eritadenine and b-glucan, have fat-reducing properties. Research has proved that b-glucan reduces food intake, increases satiety, and can reduce the level of fat in the plasma.According to research published in the journal of Obesity, shiitake mushroom was effective in curtailing the weight gain in rats fed with high-fat diets. The results of the study made researchers conclude that adding shiitake mushrooms to high-fat diets is efficient in preventing weight gain. Some other ongoing research is focusing on the efficiency of shiitake mushroom for the prevention and treatment of obesity and other metabolic disorders in man.SUPPORTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEMThe high nutrient content of shiitake mushroom, which includes vital vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, makes shiitake a potent immune booster.A study carried out by the American College of Nutrition made participants consume five to ten grams of mushrooms daily. The test also has a control group that does not consume shiitake mushroom at all. At the end of the experiment, it was found that the group that consumed shiitake mushroom has improved gut immunity and cell-effector functions. The research also shows that shiitake mushroom consumption leads to a reduction in gut inflammation.KILLS CANCER CELLSSome research has indicated the potency of shiitake mushroom in fighting cancer cells. Also, lentinan, one of the chemical compositions in mushroom, is thought to restore chromosomes damaged caused by cancer treatments.In 2006, a group of researchers made a study on the potency of ethyl acetate extracted from shiitake mushroom. The result published in the Alternative and Complementary Medicine shows that shiitake mushroom is capable of inhibiting growth in tumor cells through microchemical actions. Shiitake mushroom was able to induce apoptosis, which is the process of programming cell death. This result indicates that shiitake mushrooms could be a potent natural treatment for cancer.ENHANCES CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTHShiitake mushrooms have a family of compounds called sterols that can control the way the liver produces cholesterol.
