The Standard
01

The whole story

Every ingredient named, every source stated. If we can't say where it grew, it doesn't go in the jar.

02

Small runs

Batches small enough to know personally. Your jar carries its number.

03

No theatre

No miracle claims and no borrowed science. Mushrooms, honestly prepared.

04

The dogs decide

Every preparation passes the only panel that matters. Uncompromising, and usually asleep until noon.
