Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis) stories aren’t always glamorous… sometimes they involve creek crossings, rock walls, thorns, and a very determined mycologist. 😅🍄​ Here’s the important part:​ Even when we trek into the forest, we never harvest whole Agarikon fruiting bodies (unless it's a rescue mission from a fire or logging). This ancient species is extremely rare and survives mainly in old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. Our team only takes teeny-tiny, non-invasive tissue samples—

Paul Stamets talks about the monumental achievement of banking over 100 Agarikon strains. Paul and the R&D team at Fungi Perfecti have been working hard for decades to create this biodiverse genomic library.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve collected our 100th Agarikon strain! For more than 20 years, the Fungi Perfecti R&D team, led by Paul Stamets and directed by Renee Davis, has been collecting samples of Agarikon found in the wild. Once collected, we take them back to the lab where we culture and preserve each valuable strain. Here, Paul and Renee talk about this exciting accomplishment, and what it means to support the preservation of this important fungal species. Paul Stamets is member, fo

Collecting fungal samples responsibly matters. 🍄🌲 Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis aka Laricifomes officinalis) is a rare, long-lived polypore found in old-growth forests. Because of its slow growth and longevity, unsustainable harvesting increases the risk of extinction. That’s why, at Fungi Perfecti, LLC our research team collects small tissue samples from wild fruiting bodies using low-impact methods that leave the organism and its habitat intact. Back in the lab, these samples are cloned a

Watch Paul & Dr. Pam Kryskow discover and retrieve a small sample of Agarikon from deep in the old growth forests of the Olympic National Park. Agarikon has many forms and this one was particularly clever in disguising itself from discovery ….at first. Our goal is to collect 100 strains of Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis = Laricifomes officinalis), conduct full genome sequencing, and test each strain for its potential medicinal properties. This is a lifelong effort. We hope to publish a monogra

Paul Stamets found an Agarikon fruit body with tiny liquid beads, or extracellular metabolites. The more we learn about all parts of our fungal allies, the more solutions we’ll uncover for the many challenges that face us.​ ​Described as "The Elixir of Long Life", Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis) supports immunomodulation and an engaged and balanced immune response.* Agarikon is now extremely rare, surviving primarily in the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest.
