San Antonio, Texas
Lion's mane, grown and extracted by hand
Fruiting-body dual extracts in small Texas batches — and guided ecology walks for people who'd rather meet the mushroom in the woods.
Why our batches are different
Third-party lab tested
Active-compound potency (hericenones) verified by an independent lab — COA available.
Small-batch, fruiting body
Dual-extracted from mushroom fruiting bodies. No grain filler, ever.
Made in Texas
Grown, extracted, and bottled by hand in San Antonio.
The brand story
A decade of Texas logs, one bottle at a time
Sam started identifying fungi along San Antonio's creek bottoms long before there was a product. The company came later, out of frustration with labels that hid behind pretty drawings.
Today every lot is grown on hardwood, dual extracted, and lab tested before it earns a label — and the walks are still the part Sam looks forward to most.

Pick your format
Same mushroom, same dual extraction, same lab reports. Shipping is billed separately.
Small batch, made by hand
One lot at a time, start to bottle
Every block is inoculated, tended, and harvested by Sam in a small Texas grow room — no contract manufacturer, no anonymous bulk powder.
Fruiting bodies are dried low and slow, dual extracted in-house, and lab tested before a single bottle gets a label.

The Central Texas Mycological Society
Sam leads field walks and identification sessions in collaboration with CTMS, and observations from every Geeky Gallop are shared back into regional records.
