Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis)

Cellular & Immune Wellness*

Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis) is one of the most ancient and revered fungi in the Western herbal tradition. Bitter and acrid in character, this remarkable polypore has also been called the "quinine conk" — long thought to contain the compound quinine, though modern analysis suggests its distinctive properties arise from its own unique phytochemistry.

Dioscorides, the 1st-century Greek physician and botanist, documented the traditional use of this fungus in his foundational herbal text De Materia Medica — a testament to its deep roots in Western botanical tradition.

This mushroom produces a thick, resinous extract. Precipitate is normal and expected in this tincture — a sign of its full-spectrum potency.

All Agarikon specimens are ethically harvested from fallen fruit bodies in Pacific Northwest old-growth forests. We strongly discourage harvesting Agarikon from living host trees in order to protect this rare and slow-growing species.*
