Elden Medicinals Helping you to build regenerative health & rewild yourself with wild-foraged mushroom therapeutics.

It feels so good to be back in Michigan! Last year had several quite interesting turns and as challenging as they were, they were incredible gifts that lended to a more aligned life. I am stronger, wiser, and more supported than ever. Much like Bilbo, who was scurried out of his hobbit hole with a wizard and three dwarves on a scary adventure; who then finds himself more than ever, coming back with treasure and the means to live bolder than ever.

There and back again, a fungi’s tale by Tyler Baggins of Shroom End 🍄‍🟫🧙‍♂️🌳

The mushrooms in this video are tinder polypores. They are actually quite tasty as a decoction, and are extremely anti-inflammatory, and helping for detoxification, hormone health, and blood sugar regulation. The tinder polypore is featured in my birch medicine blend as well as my wild healing blend!

The LARGEST mushroom I have ever laid my eyes and hands on, aptly named Hugo the artist conk, is seen being harvested in this video. Time really slips by us, as this actually happened last year in May, but it is time Hugo’s magnificence is revealed to the wider world!

Harvesting a mushroom like this is not a simple act. There is so much solar, carbon, mycelial, and life force energy in this artist conk. I will never chop this thing up and make medicine with it, as it’s medicine is experienced in its full form. I take Hugo with me to every workshop and lecture. It makes people’s jaw drop, and that’s the point. To get people in awe of the wonderful world of medicinal mushrooms.

I will be doing many workshops and engagements this year, and there you will have your opportunity to see the biggest mushroom you’ve ever seen, and learn all about him and the health benefits hosted by this wonderful fungi along with a number of other key species native to our region.

The artist conk, or Ganoderma applanatum, is exhibited in my book as well as my blend of 6 wild foraged fungi—Wild Healing🍄‍🟫

Still have so many thanks for my dear friends Zoe, Tom, and lil Eva and baby Max for allowing me to share this with the world 🌲

Huff forest air, not gas 🌲

Supporting our microbiome is essential for health. There are many things in the modern world that disrupt it that I won’t get into here. But many do not know that a simple forest walk inoculated your microbiome in a beautiful way!

Bacteria, viruses, and fungi have been vilified, understandably. Yet, there are many more beneficial ones than bad ones. By a simple forest walk, we can help to restore our mental balance, and gut balance in one go. It’s also where you’ll find mushrooms 🍄‍🟫😉

You know what else supports gut health? My mushroom tinctures! Every single one contains polysaccharides and beta-glucans that act as prebiotics for our gut bacteria, support the immune system, and help lower inflammation in the body. Curious which one is best for you? Feel welcome to reach out and I can help with that 🙏

After years of talking about it, I finally took the trip to visit . I have been impressed with the care of Dr. Vargas and his team with hundreds of positive testimonials I was able to personally see in my time at my previous job at the P***a Program.

Proper dental care is serious business, and can make the difference of preventing ,stopping, and in some cases, reversing the development of today’s common health conditions like autoimmunity, metabolic disorders, gut disorders, neurological problems like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, as well as many cancers.

Being as experienced as I am working with heavy metal toxicity, I also know how important it is that everyone has their silver mercury amalgam fillings removed properly and America Dental does this right, using the SMART technique (safe mercury amalgam removal technique). The work then comes after for proper removal of heavy metals from the body, and that’s where I come in.

I also know how commonly performed surgeries like root canals and wisdom teeth extractions can lead to hidden and chronic infections that create disease throughout the body. America Dental also knows how to properly assess and address these issues. If you can’t tell, I have become very passionate about dental care, and for good reason!!

I highly recommend considering this route for true, cost effective dental care that addresses the whole body and can significantly change the direction of your life for the better. If anyone has any questions about my experience or wants more info on what I speak of, my door is open to you! 🚪🦷🪥💙

Upcoming events for the 2026 spring and summer! I am building out this year with incredibly aligned events and workshops. I am also expanding my offerings beyond my most popular class, “Michigan’s Medicinal Mushrooms: Therapeutic Use & Foraging” class to other classes on mushrooms such as “Demystify Fungi: Foundations of Taxonomy & Identification”. You will also see other wellness focused offerings that I’m teaching at places like the Michigan Folk School.

My tinctures are beginning to be held at more stores around the state of Michigan as well, I will make a post sharing about other locations you can support local businesses through purchasing my tinctures!

If you would like to collaborate on events or workshops or have wholesale inquiries reach out to me directly or email me!

This is going to be an incredible year!
Mush love everyone 🍄‍🟫

This is not talked about enough. Prayer and gratitude are central parts of my foraging practice, and I hope to inspire you to practice the same in your own aligned way.

There are many ways this can be done, there is no “wrong way”. One way of doing this is through offerings. Offerings are involved in every spiritual tradition in some way. While many different cultures practice what specific things can be offered, there are many commonalities such as laying down organic herbs, sharing water, or even sharing the sound of your singing voice or instrument.

Prayer and gratitude are simple ways to practice this as well. This is how you develop closer relationships to the Earth, a higher power, and the thing of which you are harvesting. For those with more agnostic beliefs, simply stating “thank you” and sharing your respect and gratitude accomplishes this. Harvesting with intent is a powerful practice that has implications that spread beyond the act of foraging itself. It is how we develop relationships based on reciprocity, intention, and reverence, rather than a purely extractive act. It helps us rewrite the script of how we interact with our Earth that provides everything within us and outside us.

This practice is so integral to my practice of foraging that I discuss this more deeply in my book “Wild Healing with Medicinal Mushrooms: Therapeutic Use & Foraging” in the chapter titled “How to Forage. 📚

Simple acts of goodness create powerful vibrations that resonate to our cells and to our outer worlds. I invite you to integrate this into your foraging practices. This can also be practiced when going out in nature in general.

If you practice this already, what is this like for you? If you feel called to share, what does this look like for you?

If you do not practice this yet but are feeling encouraged to— what might this look like for you? How does this feel for you?

Mush love 🍄‍🟫🙏

Foraging pro-tips by Tyler 😏

Hint: I’m that Iocal mushroom freak😹🍄‍🟫I love this lil fungi. I’m usually not one to get into viral trends but this one has got me!

Winter hikes really are an incredible way to forage, specifically for perennials. This my area of expertise. Medicinal polypores are some of the most potent natural medicines on the planet!

Featured here is a willow bracket, also known as Phellinus igniarius. It has a charred black top and brown pores. It is considered a Chaga lookalike. It is highly medicinal, and even been showing to have similar properties to lion’s mane mushroom in supporting brain health. It also has studies on it for numerous cancers, and supporting the microbiome. It also is great for starting fires and carrying embers over distances!

This mushroom is not featured in my tinctures at this time— but it very well may someday!

Flashback to some fungi’n cool drawings one of the participants in my workshop drew. Do I really look that handsome or did he just do a good job? Learning something new everyday 😂🍄‍🟫

My next workshop is February 7th at Crazy Wisdom Bookstore in Ann Arbor from 12-1:30pm! .

We will learn about Michigan’s medicinal mushrooms, centering on how to use them for your health and forage them. My fungi and root tea blend “mycommunitea” will be shared with all who come and we will also do a raffle to win dual-extract tinctures and a copy of my book!🍄‍🟫📕

Tickets for the workshop can be purchased ahead of time at the link in my bio or by searching “ Elden medicinals eventbrite” on Google.
