Tawtnúk apán is the wild mushroom used in some of our products. It is just one of the estimated 140,000 mushroom species. It is a conk mushroom, which means it grows on trees and does not have a cap or stem. It has been used by the Sahaptin Native American Medicine Men and Women of the Columbia River basin for millennia. Tawtnúk apán translated means “medicine mushroom.” Also, many Native American Tribes in the area called the mushroom by different names according to their language. For example, the Nez Perce tribe called the mushroom Shiaq’ ga which translated means ‘To Give Life’ or ‘Healing’. Man Found Standing, Medicine Man practitioner states: “There are a lot of therapeutic healing mushrooms found in nature, but I have never come across one that is so powerful in its therapeutic properties. For example, many people know about the Chaga mushroom but the Apán is many, many times more powerful in its healing properties and does not contain the potentially harmful kidney damaging oxalates.
