Description
Sometimes your body could use a little backup.
Some seasons are just…a lot.
You’re working too much.
Sleeping too little.
Everybody around you seems to be coming down with something.
And your body is basically saying:
“Could you maybe help me out here?” 😂
That’s where Radical Reishi comes in.
Unlike some of my more complicated blends, this one couldn’t be much simpler.
Organic Reishi mushroom.
Non-GMO glycerin.
Water.
That’s it.
Reishi has been used in traditional East Asian wellness practices for centuries and is probably one of the best-known functional mushrooms in the world.
I turned it into a simple, alcohol-free tincture for people looking to add mushroom-based support for everyday immune wellness and resilience to their routine.
1 fl oz (30 mL) • Alcohol-Free • Glycerin-Based • Small Batch
Does this sound familiar?
You’ve been burning the candle at both ends.
Your schedule is ridiculous and your body knows it.
Cold-and-flu season has you thinking a little more about everyday wellness.
You’re trying to take better care of yourself before you feel completely run down.
Or maybe you’ve been hearing about functional mushrooms for years and thinking:
“Okay…what the hell is everybody talking about?” 😂
Reishi is a beautifully simple place to start.
Radical Reishi was created to support:
- Normal immune-system function
- Everyday resilience
- General wellness and vitality
- A balanced response to everyday stress
- Antioxidant support
- An everyday functional-mushroom wellness routine
One mushroom. One bottle. No need to make it complicated.
Why I Made Radical Reishi
Over the years I’ve worked with a lot of plants.
Flowers.
Roots.
Leaves.
Spices.
And eventually?
Mushrooms entered the chat. 😂
Reishi fascinated me because people have been using it in traditional wellness practices for a very, very long time.
And instead of combining it with eight other things, I wanted this formula to stay incredibly simple.
So that’s what I did.
Reishi. Glycerin. Water.
Radical Reishi became one of the many products that found its way into the old Binford’s lineup.
And with fall and winter approaching, it felt like a good one to bring back.
Not because I’m going to promise a mushroom can make you invincible.
It can’t.
But if you’re interested in adding a traditional functional mushroom to your everyday wellness routine?
This is my version of keeping it simple.

What’s Inside?
This might be the shortest ingredient section on the entire website. 😂
Reishi Mushroom
Reishi (Ganoderma species, most commonly Ganoderma lucidum or related species) has a long history of use in traditional East Asian wellness practices.
Reishi naturally contains a variety of compounds that researchers have taken an interest in, including beta-glucans, polysaccharides and triterpenes.
Today, it’s commonly used as a functional mushroom in wellness routines centered around immune function, resilience and overall well-being.
And that’s why it’s here.
The entire formula:
Organic Reishi Mushroom
Non-GMO Glycerin + Water
Seriously.
That’s it.
No giant proprietary blend.
No twenty-ingredient label.
No unnecessary crap.
Just Reishi.
How I Use It
Shake well before using.
Take 1–2 droppers (30–60 drops), 2–3 times daily or as needed.
Hold under the tongue or along the gumline for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, then swallow.
Unlike something like Caught a Cough that feels particularly seasonal to me, Reishi can easily fit into a broader everyday wellness routine.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Why Glycerin Instead of Alcohol?
I made this choice years ago and stuck with it.
I prefer glycerin-based tinctures because they’re alcohol-free, approachable and pleasant to take.
Our glycerin is non-GMO and sustainably sourced, and the formula contains no coconut or soy.
That also makes Radical Reishi an alcohol-free option for people who avoid alcohol for personal, lifestyle, sensitivity or recovery reasons.
Simple as that.
Made the Same Way I Started
Radical Reishi is still made in small batches.
- I prepare it.
- I strain it.
- I bottle it.
- I label it.
- I pack it.
There isn’t some giant mushroom company hiding behind Binford’s.
There’s still a real woman behind your bottle making products in small batches the way I’ve been doing for more than a decade.
That’s something I’m pretty damn proud of.
Is Radical Reishi Right for You?
If you walked up to my market table and said:
“I’ve been hearing about these mushroom things everywhere. Where do I even start?”
I’d probably pick up this bottle and say:
“Well…this one’s pretty hard to overcomplicate.” 😂
It’s Reishi.
That’s it.
If you’re looking for a functional mushroom as part of an everyday routine supporting normal immune function, resilience and general wellness, Radical Reishi is where I’d point you.
No promises that you’ll never get sick.
No promises that you’ll suddenly have unlimited energy.
And definitely no promises that mushrooms will solve every problem in your life.
Just a very old mushroom in a very simple bottle.
Building Your Fall & Winter Cabinet?
This is exactly why I created Shop Drops.
The Hero Trio stays at the center of Binford’s.
But after more than a decade of making remedies, there are plenty of old favorites I still want the freedom to bring back occasionally.
And fall/winter gives me an excuse to pull a few of them off the shelf.
RADICAL REISHI
Functional mushroom wellness support.
Seasonal immune wellness support.
Seasonal respiratory wellness support.
Different formulas.
Different reasons you might reach for them.
And none of them require me to rebuild the enormous catalog I used to maintain.
When a Shop Drop batch is gone, it’s gone until I decide it’s time to make another.

A Quick Note From Me
Natural doesn’t automatically mean appropriate for everyone.
If you’re pregnant or nursing, taking medication, managing a health condition, or considering an herbal product for a child, talk with an appropriate healthcare professional about the ingredients first.
I especially want to correct something from my old product page:
Reishi can affect immune activity, which means someone with an autoimmune condition—particularly someone taking immunosuppressive medication—should discuss it with their healthcare professional rather than assuming immune support is automatically beneficial.
Reishi may also be inappropriate for some people taking blood-thinning, blood-pressure, blood-sugar or immunosuppressive medications, and extra caution may be appropriate before surgery.
And, of course, anyone with a known mushroom allergy should avoid it.
One mushroom. Simple formula. Thoughtfully made.

I honestly LOVE this radical reishi! I usually get sick during the fall and winter time because I have a weaker immune system, but I’ve been doubling up on this and wow! Just wow! I havent felt better and my mood seems so elevated! I will continue to purchase! P.S. I’m very picky with taste but I give this a solid 5/5 🙂
