Hush Hour - an evening mushroom ritual
The benefits at a glance
The benefits at a glance
Hush Hour contains intentionally extracted compounds from the mushrooms below.
Reishi
Some might argue that Reishi, or Ganoderma lucidum, belongs on the wall as a piece of fine art. While we agree this mushroom is stunning, we also recognize it's impressive index of reported benefits. Reishi is believed to bolster a robust and dynamic immune system, improve sleep, aid in stress response and relaxation, and is packed with antioxidants.
Turkey Tail
Turkey Tail, or Tremetes versicolor (among other names), is a widely-examined mushroom in therapeutics. It contains powerful compounds believed to have anti-cancer properties, immunomodulatory effects, and antioxidant properties. To boot, it can also make you poop (it's reported to improve digestive health).
Chaga
The benefits of this medicinal mushroom have garnered praise over generations in traditional medicine as a potent source of antioxidants, a natural way to stimulate an adaptive immune system, a promoter of digestive health, and an excellent choice for combating fatigue.
A note about Chaga and oxalates:
The list of reported benefits of this medicinal mushroom is staggering. However, there are certain potential drawbacks to Chaga: oxalates. Before using Chaga, please seek advice from your medical provider if you:
- Have diabetes or are on diabetes medication
- Experience blood clots or are on medication to regulate blood pressure
- Are scheduled for a surgery
- Have osteoporosis, are prone to kidney stones, or are explicitly avoiding oxalates in your diet.
How to use it!
How to use it!
Take 1 serving (1mL) in the evening, alongside your end-of-day routine, or approximately 1 hour prior to when you want to experience the effects.
The compounds in Hush Hour can be potent for some and less so for others, so finding out what works for you is important. We recommend you start with the above daily dosage, and then vary as necessary from there
There is a break-in period with Hush Hour, too. This means their effects are most noticed after consistent use. With this, you can also expect an adjustment period for your body - you may be sensitive to compounds in mushrooms (be they fresh or extracted), so easing yourself into the supplementation process is a great idea.

Reishi
Known as the “Mushroom of Immortality,” Reishi has been historically used to promote relaxation and support the immune system. A variety of studies and clinical trials have explored the hypnotic, or tranquilizing, effects of Reishi extract in humans, suggesting its potential in promoting sleep and relaxation. More recent studies have also shown that extracts from the Reishi mushroom can help the body better respond to stress.
Turkey tail
Turkey tail contains two important types of polysaccharides called polysaccharide peptide (PSP) and polysaccharide krestin (PSK).
PSP and PSK are immunomodulators, with a mixture of in-vivo, in vitro, and clinical trials indicating antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. It can increase the cell wall secretion and expression of cytokines, which are proteins that affect the behavior of the immune system. In other words, they regulate immune response to disease, which can have beneficial effects in the treatment of cancer.
Chaga
Chaga, like all mushrooms, has polysaccharides in it’s cell walls. These polysaccharides come with purported antitumor properties, immunomodulatory properties, and benefits to gut health. Other polysaccharides found in Chaga have been reported to reduce glucose, triglycerides, fatty acids, and cholesterol levels in blood. Chaga is also packed full of antioxidants, produces triterpenoids and betulinic acid, which led to it’s associated anti-inflamatory effects.

Week One: Re-learning to breathe
The first week of the Wellness Log focuses on basic concepts of mindfulness, particularly the breath. We shift from deep belly breathing in early life to shallower lung breathing as we age, which affects our mental and physiological state. By mindfully returning to a deeper, diaphragmatic form of breathing, we can improve our physiological and mental well-being. This practice, central to mindfulness and meditation, helps achieve equilibrium and is a suitable starting point for your mindfulness journey.
Week 2: Creating safety
An exercise in shifting awareness between the internal and external to create moments of safety.
Week 3: Observing thoughts
A simple observation of your thoughts, without judgement. What are their characteristics? Do they have a speed, or a motion? Where are they in your body? Do they have a sound?
Week 4: Focusing attention
An exercise in shedding thoughts and focusing on the breath. People often get frustrated with the practice of letting go of thoughts and coming back to the breath. They think the “goal" is to stay focused on the breath and achieve a deep state of relaxation with no thoughts. Then they take on an attitude of frustration or failure when that doesn’t happen, like they are doing it wrong or it doesn’t work for them.
A quiet mind and deep relaxation are certainly benefits of mindfulness meditation that come over time. But there is also a great benefit that comes from letting go of that most compelling thought or emotion as soon as you notice it and bringing your awareness back to your breath with kindness and no judgment toward yourself.
