herbal allies for medicinal mushroom chocolates & Microdoses

Crafting Plant & Fungi Medicine for Body, Mind and Spirit

If there’s one thing I’ve learned through years of growing, making, and journeying—it’s that mushrooms and herbs want to work together. The floral and fungal realms have this quiet, ancient symbiosis that feels like a reunion when they come together. They’re both masterful teachers and healers in their own right, but when combined, something magical happens… a kind of energetic harmony that speaks to the whole being—body, mind, spirit. Maybe even astral + earthly realms coming together? Making herbal mushroom chocolates, micros and/or tea, is a way to bring this connection to life. It’s sensual. It’s alchemical. And it’s medicine that feels good in your hands, heart, and nervous system. In this post, we share some of our favorite medicinal herb + mushroom pairings —rooted in intuition, tradition, and personal experience—so you can start (or deepen) your own exploration of this beautiful cross-kingdom collaboration.

Whether blending lion’s mane with rose and gotu kola for clarity, or infusing reishi with ashwagandha and cinnamon to ground down, these combinations are never random– although sometimes they whimsically come together through intuitive whispers in the moment. They’re intentional pairings—herbal allies that support the gifts of the mushrooms, soften their edges, or even deepen the magic they carry.

Mushroom chocolate pairings

We love a good mushroom chocolate any day of the week, which is why we’ve shared some other medicinal mushroom options beyond our magic fungi friends. Bonus points if you use ethically sourced cacao!

Lion’s Mane + Gotu Kola + Moringa

This grounding yet energizing blend features moringa, lion’s mane, and gotu kola—three powerhouse botanicals that support clarity, focus, and overall brain health.

Moringa, a nutrient-dense antioxidant and gentle adaptogen, helps combat oxidative stress while nourishing the body. Gotu kola, a revered nervine and circulatory stimulant, enhances mental clarity, memory, and promotes calm focus due to increased blood and oxygen flow to the brain. Lion’s mane brings its well-known neuroprotective benefits to the mix, supporting cognitive function and nerve regeneration. Together, they form a harmonizing formula perfect for deep work, meditation, or staying centered and sharp throughout your day.
